| |  American Wording...?
I have a question...
I just downloaded an E-book of 500 diabetic recipes...
but i dont quite understand one of the measurments that they use...
for example:
BANANA SPLIT PIE
1 graham cracker crust
1 (4 oz.) pkg. sugar-free instant vanilla pudding mix
2 c. low-fat milk
2 bananas, sliced
1 (15 oz.) can crushed pineapple
1 c. Cool Whip
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 c. pecans, chopped
What is the "c." measurment?? i got oz and tsp, but i've never seen c. before!
could anyone enlighten me please?
Thank you kindly!!

Sounds like a wonderful recipe though. Think I'll try it.

The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shakin' hands, sayin' "How do you do?"
They're really saying "I love you"
