SC - An introduction and hopefully a quick query

Hello, and welcome! I used U.S. measurements in TTEM.  The measurements in
the lists of ingredients in "A Sip Through Time" are repetitions of the
measurements given in each recipe, and are specific to the time & place of
origin of each recipe.  Conversion info is in the glossary.  I'm terrible
at math, so I chose not to convert the measurements for the reader.
