I'm probably still losing weight. And it's still not good. Food still tastes right -- I'm glad that's not the issue -- but I can't eat much at a time. I don't have the energy to eat more than once or twice a day. I'm spending a lot time coughing, feeling like I'm going to throw up, actually throwing up. It's all as glamorous and exciting as

Sorry to hear you feel bad. It's good that you still taste fine though, and great that you get so good food done!

Really.

This recipe has me drooling - and I've just gotten fed. ;-)

As for US measurements, I'm slowly developing some measure of intuition for the sizes. Fudging a lot (60ml = 50ml, right? right!) I end up with:
1 oz ~ 30ml ~ 2 table spoons.
2 oz ~ 60ml ~ 1/2 dl.
4 oz = 1/2 cup = 120 ml ~ 1 dl.
8 oz = 1 cup ~ 240ml ~ 1/4 litre.
16 oz = 2 cups = 1 pint ~ 500ml = 1/2 litre.
32 oz = 1 quart ~ 1 litre.
64 oz = 2 quarts = 1 half-gallon ~ 2 litre.
128 oz = 1 gallon ~ 4 litre.

Then there are the differences between fluid and dry ounces, the 1/3 cups, and the soda bottles that don't know whether they're metric or imperial and... guh.

But I find the powers-of-two progression actually kinda neat; and knowing where 1/2 cup, pint, quart and gallon place on the ml scale (fudging wildly) makes it a LOT easier to do stuff.

This sounds delicious. Hugely delicious. I may forward to my stepmother the fabulous chef.

And I hope you feel better soon!

1/4 cup is definitely 4 tablespoons - I have a measuring cup that goes in both increments and those line up.

I think that more paprika is a feature, not a bug. And I WANT some of this but there's no point making it just for me, everyone else is vegetarian. It sounds delicious!

That sounds awesome... will have to make. Glad to see I'm not the only person who sees 'clove' in a recipe and mentally traslates to 'head'.
