Having trouble figuring out those recipes that use metric measurements?  Here's a quick reference for some of the more common liquid and dry measurements.  Keep in mind that these are all rounded off for our measuring ease.  Best advice for measuring dry ingredients by the pound (since most Americans visualize sugar and flour in "per cup" measurements) is: buy a small kitchen scale.  Particularly in large recipes, the amount of the dry ingredients will be far more accurate if measured by weight than if measured out by volume.  Besides, who wants to count out 10 cups of flour, anyway?  You know the phone will ring somewhere around cup number seven.
