That's why we have measuring spoons, guys! We don't have to abide by the measurements in anyone else's recipe, but we should know how much WE use!

But at least, Richard, your mother's recipes were more exact than our grandmother's - which would say "Flour - you know how much" - or our mother's, where the directions often end with "then you know what to do!"

And just FYI for the rest of Pet Talk - for Christmas this year, I gave Lady's Human the size equivalent of the "bread bowl" we used growing up, which was the "when it's too big for every other container ..." go-to bowl! Sadly, when we pulled the original out at Dad's last summer, it had developed a giant crack, so that one went on to that big kitchen in the sky!
