    Some notes from another American:
    * I would call it a frying pan, not a skillet, and they're two different things.
    * That's powdered sugar. I've never even heard of confectioners' sugar.
    * I use tin foil and aluminum foil interchangeably.
    * We would say sparkling water, not seltzer.
