Sorry I got a little worked up cause I was so frustrated. Appreciate your well thought out answer that actually sounds very reasonable. Crisis averted.

Probably because nobody knows why :D I figured the puzzle by myself but only with trial and error. I didn't find any answers to why and I don't think there are any.

Maybe the clues are in the words themselves:
- sugar = sweetness - this is obvious
- butter = generosity - maybe because of the high fat content, fat in the past was symbol of wealth
- cinnamon = sensuality - maybe because of the strong aroma which is sensed by the senses
- egg = common sense - maybe because the shape reminds of head
- integrity = molasses - maybe because it's sticky, it holds together
- milk = love - maybe because milk is given from mother to child with love in every mammal
- ginger = romance - maybe because ginger is considered aphrodisiac
- flour = commitment - i don't know this one

Why are there like a gazillion guides out there telling you the measurements but nobody actually tells you *why*. I swear there isn't a single guide in the world that actually tells you how this puzzle works. Every guide just pastes the numbers.

I was walking around the house like a crazy person trying to find a clue. Then spent way too much time looking for at least a hint on the internet. Yes you can give me the ingredients names guide #297 but why are they correct? Nothing but sugar makes any sense.

Thanks for this. I played still life for the first time 17-18 years ago and I got stuck at this stupid part. Had to google it back then xD

this puzzel, you either love it or hate it. i'm actually in the former. now, that lock picking puzzle on the other hand...

It was a very long time ago but I think that you can hold cursor over the item to see what it is. The cups and spoons are:
- smaller cup (labeled 125) = 1/2 cup
- larger cup (labeled 250) = 1 cup
- smaller spoon = tea spoon
- larger spoon = table spoon

How am I to know that on cup is the one labeled 125? Which one is the tablespoon and which one is the tea spoon?
