Default "Pinch of" vs. "Dash of" vs. "Muddy"

I find some adjectives to be very useful when describing ingredient
measurements.

For instance, when dipping chocolate in peanut butter, there's a big
difference between getting the chocolate "muddy" vs having "a spattering of
peanut butter" or "a hint of peanut butter".

Some other common terms for ingredient sizes are "pinch", and "dash", and
"hunk of".
