Centigrade to Fahrenheit

We have this thing called the Find-It-Guide. Maybe, I should use it more. It's a pretty cool book aka the phone book here. In the middle of it there are all kinds of helpful things... how to get around, driving in Germany, Recycling (still trying to figure it out), restauraunts and a FULL page of just conversions. The first day we arrived, Jim's sponsor dropped us off at our hotel and showed us a few things. He showed us how to open, crack and shut the windows, and how to open the blinds. He's the one who helped Ty flush the toilet. And, he said... on the oven that 200C is 350 degrees. Easy enough until we went to cook for the first time- didn't work, we had to crank the stove up to about 250C before our food started to really heat up. So, moving in to our house, I didn't think it would be different- wrong. Tonight, we threw in some mini pizzas for dinner- personal pan size. I just cranked the oven on to what we had it at the hotel- somewhere around 275 degrees C thinking that would work. Of course, buying them at the commissary, the directions are all in F... Yep, they're toast. Jim went to check on them- the next thing I know he's throwing them outside to avoid smoking our house out. Heaven help us if the alarm goes off- we'd probably NEVER figure out how to turn it off and would end up with the German Fire Department at our house! Looking at our Find It Guide (after the fact) 260 C is about 500 degrees... yep, trying to broil our pizzas, not so good! Might have to rip this page out and keep it on the fridge! Have I mentioned how hard it is to adjust over here? We did have a nice chicken salad to go with our pizza. Without bowls, we had to mix it up in our pot. Oh, some day we'll look back on this time and laugh, right?

Just an example...
