I think I'm gonna need a calculator.

When I moved into my current house 30 year ago, it had a cooker with oven
temperatures in Celsius.  The previous occupant had helpfully left a
post-it note on the inside of a cupboard door translating Celsius into
Fahrenheit.  Fortunately, these days, most recipes are in Celsius.

 
I did check that I have a cup of pecans.

That's an oddity to UK cooks.  You rarely ever measure things in cups.
Liquid are measured by volume - usually millilitres - and dry goods are
measured by weight - grams.  (Well, technically mass, but let's not go
there, especially with in the US a pound is a unit of force, whereas in
the UK, it's a unit of mass, and the Imperial unit of force is the
poundal, the force needed to accelerate one pound mass by one foot per
second per second.)
