Marshmallows, saltines, and vanilla wafers must have been a staple back in the day?!?! ;0)

I have an old Fanny Farmers cook book that has a lot of old time measurements, like so many dry pecks equal a bushel.I get a kick out of them. Thanks for reminding me.

If it weren't for such equivalent charts, I would never get to cook anything! Half of my recipes are metric, half imperial; half come from North America, and a heck of a lot come from other countries; (where 1 TBSP does NOT equal 1 Tbsp LOL!)...some are by volume, others by weight!
Thanks, RMB, for posting this -- every cook should have a copy :)
