conversion quiz!

[Chelsea (Thermie Groupie)]

If you don't have a super memory Jane at least write down the cups/spoons to grams conversions as you go. I can never remember them after.  Sadly though I always forget to write down one measurement and it always really bugs me.

Nice to re-read this one GoneCrazY - had forgotten it even existed since the forum has become so big. What a laugh I had at the old comments.  I still do it the way I always have, the first one on the list - adjusting as I go.

I do not make up any recipe myself, it is always converted. I like to photocopy it, and then I write all my conversions down over the photo copy, make it, (adjust if necessary) and then post the recipe.  To make the recipes more universal for everyone around the world I take my measurements from here because its Australian and I have been adding my own to the list as I go along. I like to post weight measurements because its universal and it cuts down on washing up. I also like to make sure my ingredients are listed in the order that they used as it definitely helps to cut down any omissions from a recipe if you are not cutting to and forth.

I guess I can't add my vote to the poll because I probably have already done so

I'm a seat of pants person here too.

Although I've only just started converting recipes.  It takes a while to get to know the machine well enough to start converting things - I posted my first "proper" conversion today actually!    Although I've converted a couple of baking recipes and converted them back again for non TMX friends.

Unless a recipe was really complicated I wouldn't bother working out the steps before hand and, to be honest, I'm not sure I'd attempt something really complicated at the moment - I'm far too sleep deprived

CP63 - the option you chose will be bolded when you look at the poll.

I chose depends. Sometimes I will convert properly - taking a recipe and writing how I think it would be done. Other times I just fly by the seat of my pants - but that's more things I'm making up at the time rather than a conversion as such.

Sounds like CP is one of them Kathryn.
