I have to admit, I have had the same thought. I rarely measure anything,
which matters little in cooking, though it would be terrible for baking.
I chop, plop, and fling. I open boxes and jars and sprinkle, dump, and
dash. That said, it seems to be basic nature, whether we are precise
or not, and all along the spectrum between the two extremes. We
all get to be who we are, in this regard.
