Cooking & Recipes - November 2007

As a scientist, I understand and enjoy Metric measurements. We were given an Australian recipe and a table with columns for US, Canadian and Australian for the purpose of conversion. Why on God's green earth is there a DIFFERENT conversion factor for Australian Metric?

Isn't Metric, by definition, consistent? I am so confused. And based on the table, it is non-linear, which makes no sense in the world. Please help explain!

I want to know WHY, don't just tell me it is, or question the authority of the cookbook please. Here is a web site, there are numerous other if you Google search. http://www.kitchenproject.com/equivalencies/metric.htm - this table is similar to the one in the cookbook. Note that it *seems* 1 aus-Kilo = 2 US/Uk/Imperial pounds, with major weirdness in rounding for fractions thereof. And why or how did this happen?

I wrote a note the other day extolling the virtues of Maria's Home Made Country Fare, in Greenbrier, Arkansas. I did not advertize this store... I merely said that the food was wonderful.
Someone took exception to my post and yahoo deleted the post. I took a look at the guidlines and found none of the rules had been violated. I guess the coward that complained is too cowardly to come forward to admit that they were the one responsible. Some hours later, I took a look at the the replies, and would you believe...there were a few responses from folk who were as surprised as I was about Maria's cooking. nuff said..

I am doing a project about French cuisine during the Middle Ages, specifically 14th-16th centuries. I need an easy recipe or even better, something I can go and buy that would be appropriate for this time period. I'm not really able to cook anything so I more need an idea of what I could purchase!

It's my first time to make some brownies. Can anyone pls help me with my questions. I'd really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

1. I've used Ina Garten's recipe of outrageous brownies. How can i make the brownies not so fudgy.. more like a crunch
2. I've used flour to coat the nuts, accdg to the recipe , this will prevent the nuts to go at the bottom of the brownie. Well, some of the nuts stayed at the bottom.
3. Again, i've used butter and a sprinkle of flour in the pan to prevent the brownies sticking in the pan. Guess what, some parts of the brownies sticked in the pan.
4. How do I make an excellent chocolate icing for the brownies?
5. Can I use the turbo broiler instead of an oven in baking the brownies?
6. Instead of putting some butter in the pan, what can I used to as a base for the brownies? Can i use aluminum foil. Will this burn ?
