I know I have! I am from the UK, and still use the old imperial measurements of ounces, pints etc, but I tend to use metric measurements when in comes to temperature, mainly because that is what I have on my oven! I understand some American measurements and not others. It can all be a bit confusing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have found a neat little &lt;a href="http://www.foodlovers.co.nz/smallconvert.html"&gt;online cooking measurement conversion calculator &lt;/a&gt;that will help dimwits like me to translate weights and measures into something I can understand. It is online and completely free to use. Just enter the information asked for, click a button and presto! - the calculation is done for you. So now there is no excuse for not using those recipes you do not understand.

The dough should be soft, so use a few drops of oil to help with the kneading process, this will stop it from sticking to your fingers. Make the dough 5 to 10 minutes before you intend to cook it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Divide the dough into four parts and roll each of them in your palms, into small balls. Roll them out on a lightly  floured board or kitchen counter. Roll them thin until they are about 5 inches in diameter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Heat a skillet on a medium heat. You can check to see if the temperature is right by dropping a few drops of water onto it, they should evaporate almost immediately. Place your flattened dough onto the skillet and wait until it starts to change color ( use a spatula to see if it is browning), the top will also bubble. Turn when it has lightly browned. Turn it again and move it around the pan with the spatula, it will gradually puff up. It is ready to serve once it is puffed up and browned.

Do you know? Sometimes it’s fun to shake things up a bit. If you find yourself cooking the same things all the time, it could be that you need try something new, you just don’t realize it. But just as you may be in a rut with the things you could be cooking, you may be looking in the same places to find your recipes. Is your favourite cookbook getting a little stale? Try searching online instead. There are plenty of food oriented websites. Or, if you want to try cooking in a different cuisine, do a search for that cuisine. For example, if you want to find easy Thai food recipes, type in the search phrase “easy Thai food recipes” and you should be directed to a website that will help you out. This is a good way to shake things up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For Information about cooking visit:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;www.thecookscupboard.co.uk&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3047297168340571973-1236107095175631581?l=thecookscupboard.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thecookscupboard.blogspot.com/feeds/1236107095175631581/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3047297168340571973&amp;postID=1236107095175631581' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3047297168340571973/posts/default/1236107095175631581'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3047297168340571973/posts/default/1236107095175631581'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thecookscupboard.blogspot.com/2007/06/easy-tricks-for-finding-recipes.html' title='Easy Tricks for Finding Recipes'/><author><name>Kaazoom</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03799532451305087364</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='26' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yoExA3bc3rQ/TKG0kdMSvuI/AAAAAAAAABk/cnNKcbRoSRE/S220/me.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3047297168340571973.post-3405103241367163682</id><published>2007-06-02T03:31:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-06-02T03:37:53.550-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='The Cook&apos;s Cupboard Gets A Makeover'/><title type='text'>The Cook's Cupboard Gets A Make-Over!</title><content type='html'>Well it's finished!

You may already have the skills and you just don’t realize it. If you can operate the microwave, boil water, and make toast you may already be further along than you think. Granted, those are just simple things to do in the kitchen. But they form the basis of more complex dishes.&lt;br /&gt;With a microwave you can warm up microwave meals. If you can boil water, you can make pasta. If you can make toast you can also make things like English muffin pizzas and bruschetta. You can cook these simple foods to help give you confidence and to help you learn that cooking is nothing more than a series of steps. Make it a point to learn one new simple skill or recipe at a time. Before long, you will have an arsenal of recipes you are good at.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For More information about cooking and to download a FREE report visit:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.thecookscupboard.co.uk"&gt;www.thecookscupboard.co.uk&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3047297168340571973-6001176995334663896?l=thecookscupboard.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thecookscupboard.blogspot.com/feeds/6001176995334663896/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3047297168340571973&amp;postID=6001176995334663896' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3047297168340571973/posts/default/6001176995334663896'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3047297168340571973/posts/default/6001176995334663896'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thecookscupboard.blogspot.com/2007/06/what-me-learn-how-to-cook.html' title='What Me?

Store the remainder in the refrigerator and use as an icing or to make great milk shakes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pinch off pieces of the dough and roll each piece between your palms into 2-inch-long tubes about the circumference of a fountain pen, tapered at one end in the shape of a baseball bat.
