THOUGHT FOR FOOD - HINTS - Weights & Measure Conversions

You know how it is....you're all ready to cook-psyched even.  But darn it all, it seems you gotta be part mathematician and part logistical engineer in order to figure your way through some of these recipe books!
Sure there are charts, but gee whiz! Isn't there an easier way than leafing through these bible-sized editions and struggling through the small print?

The Internet is a great resource.  Lots of people have a laptop near or even in the kitchen these days....some even have a monitor on the refrigerator door!  Ain't that something!?!!

But either by choice or circumstance, not all of us are so technically connected.   So today's blog entry will be concentrating on Weights and Measurement conversions. Feel free to copy and print this list....maybe even tape it on to your fridge.  That'll show those folks with Windows on their Frigidaire doors!
