illdoc May 20, 2017 Share May 20, 2017 For those who are indeed waiting for the show on PBS...It will be back on Fri Jun 16th (double episode). It seems to be what the Brits call "Series 7" (i.e. the last to air on BBC, last with Mary Berry), originally aired there in August 2016. It appears to be one episode per week thereafter. 10 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/19732-the-great-british-baking-show-on-pbs/page/7/#findComment-3299229

I have read defenses of her behavior as "modesty," but to me it's exactly the opposite: arrogance. It's saying "It's important that you know that this is not up to my high standards," rather than just staying quiet and letting your creation speak for you (which it often did quite well, in fact). I'm really surprised by the comments about Ruby. I don't see false modesty. I like her a lot.

As a Canadian, we are officially metric, but since we're next to the States, we end up using some stuff in Imperial (like cooking). In my classes, we use metric measurements, but I also include Imperial, since that's what they'll probably use at home. I've found this website really easy and handy for conversions: https://www.convert-me.com/en/convert/cooking/. It's great because it will convert based on the ingredient, as different ingredients weight different amounts (if you're using weight measurements).
