Many organized incorporated territories of the United States existed from 1789 to 1959 (the first being the Northwest and the Southwest territories, the last being the Alaska Territory and the Hawaii Territory), through which 31 territories applied for and were granted statehood.
Considerations When Choosing an Extract Substitution. If you only need 1/4 teaspoon of extract, you can substitute just 2 drops of a similar flavored oil instead of the extract. Many extracts substitute well for each other, like almond extract instead of vanilla extract or lemon extract instead of lime extract.
Bittersweet chocolate, semi-sweet chocolate or a dark chocolate bar can be substituted for cocoa in recipes in a pinch. One oz. of dark chocolate equals 3 tbsps. of cocoa powder. As with baking chocolate, youâll need to eliminate 1 tbsp. of fat from your recipe. If your chocolate bar is very sweet you may want to cut the sugar in the recipe by 1/4 cup or so. You can substitute 1/2 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips for 3 tbsps. cocoa powder. Youâll also need to subtract 1 tbsp. of fat and 1/4 cup sugar from the recipe.
