Aaarrgghh! I posted all my recipes from my Windows machine at home, carefully cutting and pasting from MS Word - when I checked this thread here at work on my Mac, all the fractional quantities get listed as *! So here are the correct quantities for ingredients - maybe Jeri or whoever is compiling this can fix them in the final addition...
