Autzoo.1370 net.cooks utcsrgv!utzoo!nonh Wed Feb 10 12:37:06 1982 Plea for universal measures Please, when you are sending a recipe to net.cooks, try to avoid measures such as "1 stick of butter" or "1 container sour cream". Sticks and containers are not the same everywhere! I, for example, have the choice of buying sour cream in 1/4, 1/2, 1-pint, or even 1 qt containers -- Canadian pints, of course! And although I can take a fair guess at some quantities, others can be a complete mystery. Thanking you all in advance and looking forward to more yummy recipes, Chris (decvax!utzoo!nonh) ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
