You know I don't worry some recipe, I just go for it and damn the
torpedoes. Like Nancy says, fairly easy to guesstimate the quantities,
that's what I do. If it doesn't turn out right I blame the original
person who developed the recipe. Gets me out of trouble every time and
the dog gets a new shot at some food she's never eaten before.
