THey have to share, don't worry, there are plenty. I'm good in the kitchen, with one exception: I have no concept of appropriate amounts. Everything outgrows it's intended pan.
I told this story before, "appropriate amounts"?????

I was dying for a red chili dish and called home for my mom's for her 'recipe'.

Ma didn't like the 'competition' and would hem and haw about inquiries to her cooking style......

(Mom told me once that she would run into people who would comment on her perfume and if they asked what she was wearing, she would give them another brand name to throw them off the 'scent'.)

Anyway, she gave me the recipe in uncertain terms.....This, that and a palm-full of those.....

The "palm-full of those" was of the spice cumin....as in,"How much cumin?", "a palm-full".

I make the recipe and woke up in the middle of the night with a SCREAMING case of heartburn.....

This had never happened before so after a night of tossing, turning and comtemplating a trip to the ER, I called my mom the next day and figured out what had gone wrong.....

A palm full of cumin for a 4 foot eleven woman is not the same as the palm full of a six foot, two idiot....
