I'd love to make the Earl Grey cupcakes, but even though I printed out a conversion chart, my brain just can't wrap around converting the recipe!!

joanne what measurements do you need them to be in......if its cups, can you fill a cup with flour/sugar, etc and then weigh that amount and see how close it comes to the uk weight amounts

sorry i didn't even think about you guys having different weights and measures

1 c (8 fluid oz) = 250 ml
8 oz. solid cup = 225 g

Jules, THANKS!!! I was really close on my "guesstimate" of the quantities.

Edit: Joanne, the butter would be one stick or 1/4 pound or 1/2 Cup. A pound is about 435 grams, so 1/4 lb. would be about 110 grams.

Thank you Jules for trying to help me, but now my head really hurts...I think you can't teach an old dog new tricks...at least me! lol! Think I will have to pass on this recipe.

Mary, that recipe is so simple I love it! Will definately try it as soon as I get to the grocery for the steak. I have plenty of oregano..I grow it and dry my own so I love to be able to use it in something besides speghetti sauce.

CHILI RELLENO CASSEROLE

1 7oz can whole green chilies
1-1/2 c. shredded cheese of your choice
3/4# ground beef
1/4 c. chopped onion
1 c. milk
4 eggs
1/4 c. flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper

Split chilies and remove seeds. Pat dry with paper towels. Arrange chilies on the bottom of a greased 2-qt. baking dish. Top with cheese. In a skillet, brown beef and onion. Drain. Spoon over cheese. In a mixing bowl, beat milk, eggs, flour, S&P until smooth. Pour over beef mixture. Bake, uncovered, at 350* for 45-50 min or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand 5 min. before serving. YIELD: 6 servings.

I like to serve this with salad, refried beans, Mexican rice, cornbread, warm flour tortillas, or any other Southwest side dish.

Miss Purr-fect - thanks so much for the recipe - it looks absolutely delicious. Yum! I think the first time out, I'll serve it with semi-homemade tortillas.

SOUTHWEST CHICKEN STEW

2LBS Chicken cut into bite size pieces

2cups onion chopped
1cup chopped green/red pepper
2cloves minced garlic
1tablespoon chili powder
cayenne to you taste
1teaspoon dried oregano
3cups cubed potatoes...I used white & sweet
1-14.5 can chicken broth
1-14.5 can chopped tomatoes
1 1/2 cups frozen corn
1/2 cup cilantro....I used the whole bunch

1) brown chicken in oil.
2) add onions, peppers & garlic, saute 3 mins
3) add chili pd, oregano, potatoes & chick broth. Cover cook 45 mins
on low heat.
4) Add tomatoes, corn & cilantro. Cover & cook 10 mins.

I added a few tablespoons of flour to browning chicken to thicken it.

I added a can on creamed corn plus the frozen

I also make it with tofu. Drain 2lbs tofu on paper towels or dish cloth, all day or over night. Slice it down the middle & brown on both sides. Cut into bite size pieces. If you have never used tofu this is a good recipe to try!

enjoy!!!
