Measurement Conversion and Abbreviation Chart

My mom used to run a dining hall for a Baptist College. All of her help came from ladies that attended the college. She (and I) were amazed when of the many girls that came to work for her over the course of her time there only 1 knew kitchen measurements, how to read a recipe, etc. So for any one out there that maybe never got the chance to learn, hasn't had the opportunity for anyone to show them and you just get frustrated by recipes and wish they would just tell you what they want you to do, I hope this helps you out a little.
