Measure Equivalents

I believe in reference material that is within one's immediate reach.  I do not have a computer in my kitchen and I never will so using the internet for references in cooking is not a quick solution.  Therefore, I have this list tacked to the inside of a cabinet door ready for quick and easy reference.

To make it even easier, I have it in large print.  My glassses are never where I need them at any particular moment.

I hope the list is useful.  Enjoy
