Randi,
Bless you for researching those conversions! I was trying to remember where my tables were and freaking out. Now I've got 'em where I can just search for them online at my favorite spot on the internet. Yippee!!
My two cents re. Divinity was going to be that it's a whipped white candy a little like a light non-chocolate fudge that melts on your tongue, but you probably got that already.
I have several recipes I'd like to share here but keep forgetting. At a potluck party at work here last week I made Preznick (spelling very approximate) -- a Yugoslavian Cheese Loaf a little like a quiche that everyone raved over. It's delicious and very easy to make. Must dig that recipe out at a minimum.
Oh, this thread also reminds me of a friend's humorous encounter in Australia. She was shopping at a grocery store and said something to her boyfriend. A nearby woman recognized her accent and asked her help interpreting a recipe her new daughter-in-law from California had sent: "She says to add a cup of half-and-half, but half of what and half of what?" This was the first time we'd ever realized that this pre-packaged milk and cream mixture wasn't universal -- at least by 'our' name for it!
