Neat stuff....

I'd forgotten that there were so many can sizes... I've not heard cans referred to by the size in a long time... My Grandmothers and Mom did occasionally refer to cans by size...

Confirmation that bake and roast are the same thing!  If I roast a turkey in the oven it is the same as baking a cake in the oven, the only difference being cooking time and temperature.  "I roasted the cake yesterday."  And they indicated something I had already figured out, that if it's a cake it's baked, if it's meat it's roasted.

I think roast has some other nuances.  Anything I cook on a rotisserie or a spit I'm likely to consider roasted.  I'll have to roast a cake on the rotisserie to see how it comes out.   =D

I tried to save that as a PDF, but that didn't work beyond the first couple of pages, nor can my browser search through it.  I ended up just saving the URL.

No margaritas that I could see, or even grog!  What's the Navy coming to?  Fun anecdote about USS Ironsides, apparently not true:
