NBILKT: measurement conversion
Another long awaited installment of notbob's incredibly lazy kitchen
tips. This month's tip concerns the quickest way to convert those pesky metric or UK ingredient measurements in short order. Rather than searching around your computer looking for where you saved that conversion utility you downloaded a decade ago and haven't used since Y2K or googling for a measure conversion website and digging through the unlimited expanse of measurement types like avoirdupois weight and world times zones and other nonsense, just go to google search. You all have it as your home page, right?. Now, enter your measurements directly into the search input window. The format is the "amount measurement" you want converted "in"to the "measurements" you want: amount measurement in measurement For example, you want to find out how many teaspoons in a quarter cup. Just enter: 1/4 cup in teaspoons Cool, eh? You don't even have to use decimal numbers (0.5). Try this: 2 british oz in american oz Not only do you get the correct answer, google doesn't mind you're too stupid to remember "imperial". It also settles, once and for all, just who the term "American" is referring to. Don't push it, though. Google plays dumb on such well known terms as limey, ******, and imperialist running dog. enjoy =D nb |

Also, a knife is good for cutting things.
A spoon holds liquids very well. Forks are excellent at picking things up. |
