Question about Wheybolic Protein Powder measuring
OK - rather inane, but I need to know. Is a "scoop" to the top of the scooper (level) or is a "scoop" to the little line around the rim of the scooper. If no one knows, then I'll just measure grams and find out, but if someone already has the answer, I would appreciate it. Thanks!

whole wheat pasta
I just can't make myself like it. I've tried, I want to like it, but I don't. Doesn't matter if I put low calorie butter, spaghetti sauce, parmesan cheese.....it just leaves a yucky after taste in my mouth. Anyone agree, or do you love it? Guess it's back to white pasta for me.
