I was looking over a recipe last night for cranberry oatmeal
muffins. All measurements are in cups, teaspoons, tablespoons,
except for the yogurt - which calls for 6 ounces. I do have an
ancient scale which isn't all that accurate. Would it be 3/4 cup? I
almost always have yogurt in my fridge, but it's usually a quart container.
[later...]
I answered part of my question when I went to the grocery store today
and discovered those small, individual containers of yogurt contain 6
oz. That explains why that was the only ingredient listed by
weight. Now, I'm going
to have to buy one of them to see how much goes into a measuring cup
- unless someone on the list has already done that????

for "cranberry oatmeal" in the digest search found it.]]
[[Editor's note: 6 oz of yogurt is very close to 6 fluid oz - I
measured it. In general, if it's wet enough to spread out when given
the chance, it's close enough to water to assume 1 avoirdupois ounce
= 1 fluid ounce and 1 liter = 1 kg.]]
