Good tip Corkey. Have to admit that taking measurements after I have thrown together a dish is not my favorite thing to do but it is important if you are going to share the recipe. My Grandmother always would give out a recipe by saying " a little of this..a handful of that.." so i must of inherited that. Thats my story and I am sticking to it.

Really even if i am reading a recipe unless it is for baking, I am going to modify it the same way that Canela just described. Sometimes that works, sometimes, not so much but it is all a learning experience.
