Yes, this article is not entirely in metric. As I said in my original
posting:
Note the extensive use of metric units in the recipe.
"Extensive" does not mean "Entire". We can chide the authors and the
editors for not being **entirely** metric or we can rejoice that for a
change metric units appeared in a Mother Earth article.
I would hope that when we encounter someone in public who uses a metric
unit that we don't chide them for not being **entirely** metric. That
would be a quick way to discourage a potential convert.
The possibility occurs to me that this mail list is read by people who
do not post but who do come here to learn more about the metric system
of units.

Alas, the text is not completely metric all the way through. In the
instructions just before the list of ingredients it says:
Yeast is sensitive to temperature, so bread rising in a kitchen
that’s 65 degrees Fahrenheit will take hours longer than it would in
an 80-degree kitchen.
Obviously, those are Fahrenheit temperatures.
