[Sca-cooks] Conversion from butter to oil?

[lilinah at earthlink.net]

Aha! I get the digest, and someone asked and you 
already corrected all but ONE of those below... I 
KNEW i should have finished reading all the 
digests before commenting... Thanks for 
responding so quickly - responding even before i 
sent my message

However, tere's the one that didn't get corrected:
>  2 tablespoons butter = 1 ‡ tablespoons oil

I keep meaning to make a file with the 
"translations" of the odd signs into their 
meaningful fractions, but i keep forgetting. It 
happens several times a year on this list...
