i agree - and it gors for measuring graphic layouts as well -i used to annoy everyone at work by doing mine in mm rather than in 100ths of an inch - but mine always came out righton the first try asopposed to having to maneuver them around do you think america will convert? it was in the plans sometime in the 1970s - i was in grade school when they started teaching us the metric system and how to convert - and why certain road signs in...

Thank you so much! I'm going to try it tonight...

I think eventually U.S. will convert, but why it’s taking so bloody long just makes no sense to me because it’s really creating a handicap by leaving general population on a sideline. Medical world operates only in metrics already, I am yet to see a doctor who would write my prescription in tea spoons, cups, pounds, pints or other nonsense. Quite frankly if I would ever see a doc doing it I would politely back out of...

Glenn, all the world should speak Czech - you did not know that ?

Thanks Glenn, I made cukrovi with Czech friends at thier house and things turned out fine - they have a grams measuring device from CR.

Perhaps thats the problem. So what do you suggest we do, just pour it in until it's almost full?...

Yes, I also know it as a main course. But I think if you make a smaller portion, it can be a dessert with no problem
