I do appreciate all the recipes of this site. My pallet thanks everyone involved. Pardon me while I make a humble suggestion. To those of us who don't know how, have never really ever done, or are afraid to try to cook - your recipes would far easier to read if instead of saying "2 oz. onions" it was stated as "1 c. onions". Not only do english units make little sense, but the ounce makes almost the least (except for a slug). I don't really go to the store and buy onions "by the ounce" I buy two or three large ones and can more accurately chop 1 c. of onions versus 2 oz. If that is in fact correct. I buy buttermilk by the ounce (floz.). That's it, take it or leave it. I'm good at figuring these things out anyway. Thanks.
