I just realized how OC I am. While making Jello, I measured exactly as the package said. Do you, when you cook, measure spices and such, or just go by instinct??







What did you think this was about, anyway????peace

Hmmm well, I'm Italian and most of the time I can estimate the amount per the palm of my hand and then will add any additional based on taste preference. So in a sense I do measure but its pased on the palm of my hand.
