How big is a package of yeast?

The smallest size packet that I've bought yeast in is 130g.  We have a bread
maker, so we tend to buy a larger size, but that's still the smallest size
I've seen on the supermarket shelves.

It's just hearing 1 pkg yeast in amongst the rest of the standard
measurements rather struck me and I have no idea of the amount in a pkg of
yeast.

Oh, and a random link I got from my flatmate:

http://www.nzetc.org/tm/scholarly/tei-EdmCook.html

It's an electronic copy of the 1914 Edmonds (the quintessential New Zealand
cooking book).  The measurements and cooking times in that are interesting.


Katrina - who didn't go to a dawn service this morning but might make it to
a later one.
