A pound really isn't that much.
I want to know how one pound of potato salad can make me gain 5 pounds...

because when it was weighed, your thumb was on the scale.
I like to think of those days as "Mental Health Days."
A little bit of Internet research indicates that a pound of potato salad has about 517 calories (fitday.com) and that a pound of weight gain is approximately 3,500 calories (myfitnesspal.com, livestrong.com) so eating a pound of potato could cause 517/3500 = 0.14 pounds of weight gain, about 2 ounces in all. However, eat a pound a day for a year and that would be 60 pounds of weight gain!I want to know how one pound of potato salad can make me gain 5 pounds...
A pound of anything I eat will make me heavier by one pound.
" I sat down and ate a pound of potato salad. "
I can think of a number of foods that I could do that to. Depends on what's closest and Ready Right Now. I wonder how much is a pound of Ice Cream. Probably not very much.
A pint's a pound, the world around.
Andy maybe you'd prefer the expression "a key is a liter no matter whose meter." Well maybe not. (One liter of water weighs one Kg.) I made it up anyway. (One cc of water occupies 1 mL and weighs one gram.)
You've brought up a good point though, that often weight units are more accurate than volume units. Well maybe your point was that it's good to own a scale.
We should just all adopt the metric system, and then the survivors can argue about whether weight or volume units are better for cooking use. Or have a sister who knows cooking.
I presume sissy does not have Internet. You could google that. (The weight:volume relationship of flour, not whether sissy has da webs.)
Well Andy you're a very accomplished chef if your posts on the forum are any indication, so I don't blame sis for calling Andy instead of googling it. Although she should probably google it if she can't reach you on the phone...
