I came across a recipe that looked positively scrumptious. The problem was, since the author was in India, she was working in the metric system. As much as I love metrics and understand it better than the U.S. system (I started school right before a deadline to make the changeover that never happened, in the midst of a big push for metrics), I just don't have the measuring tools for it.
Fortunately, I found this conversion calculator on line. It's very thorough, and the list of specific ingredients to convert is long. Kudos to these fine folks. (P.S. I have yet to convert the recipe.)
Then there is Cracked, which started as a competitor to/knock off of MAD in print, but now brings its humor to the web. Humor you can learn from. The language gets PG-13 sometimes, but laughing and feeling smarter afterward is good.
