I think everyone is confused, because we pretty much get everything already ground here and therefore not as fresh to me. Measuring therefore becomes a chore, to convert.
I still want someone to make and send me some stroopwafels, from Gouda. I love those cookies......... LOVE them.

I love the fact that you post recipes. I often wonder if you make these recipes that you post...or are looking for a woman to MAKE them for you. 
The Americans who read these recipes would GREATLY appreciate it if you include the Americanized measurements! Or send us the proper English measuring gadgets!
