Ah Ha, you must be one of those imperialists.

Yes. I still measure things in feet and inches, and pounds and ounces, and pints ...

We're not all socialists....some of us are positively imperial.

SG,

You are a cool chick in my book. Nice post, well said. Thank you.

(I am totally resisting the urge to pontificate on this thread. You said enough and you said it well.)

Just used the second package of cornbread mix you sent me, Monster.
Mum & I ate half while it was still warm (naughty, naughty).

Measurements on the packet threw me all over again - I can never get used to measuring in cups and have to have a translation every time. Even my lovely BBC cookery book, which includes Metric and Imperial measures AND instructions for Aussies and Merkins doesn't translate cups - it says it varies by ingredient.

What an odd system, say I

what do you use instead of cups for dry volume measurement?

Ingredients are weighed in British recipes.

I came online and translated it by product.
I wanted grated cheese, and got a weight measurement so I could weigh it out.

Excellent post, Sundae Girl. Bravo.

Cloud · 11-27-2009, 08:57 PM

so, you have to have a scale to cook with? or bake with?

monster · 11-27-2009, 08:58 PM

right. But we all have one. Just like you all have cup measures.

DanaC · 11-28-2009, 05:12 AM

I don't have a scale. I just guess.
