Sorry it didn't line up right...any questions I will try to clear it up.

www.hub-uk.com has a bunch of this stuff and is where I get most of it from.

Another one that's handy is http://www.gourmetsleuth.com/cookingconversions.asp, which gives various conversions by food item.

1 clove garlic minced = 1/2 tsp

That is an interesting one Labs. Had never thought that way about stuff.

It has made a number of things easier. Have had that bookmarked for a couple of years.
