Hi Shawn,

 RH> sensitive to changes. Other times I'll keep the recipe handy aas a

 RH> out--and quite often, I'll wing it, especially if I've made it a
 RH> gazillion times before.

 SH> This is pretty much what I do.  But don't tell Andrea. :)

I won't, probably good chance we'll never meet--unless we do the drive
up to Nova Scotia with the camper some time.

 RH> recipe and sees that it calls for 2 teaspoons of water. Blondie is
 in RH> the living room so he yells in "is that heaping or level?". When
 we

 SH> LOL.

 RH> what could be heaping. I showed him the comic and for a long time, he'd

 SH> My daughter will call and ask me from time to time "Did you measure
 SH> this?" when she reads my recipes because when I write them down mostly

 SH> things to taste exactly like mine.  (Which is how I keep my
 SH> POWER!!!!!!)

When she first got married, our older daughter called me quite often to
get recipies so I'd dictate, with tweaks, to her. Now I'll take a
picture, text it to her but note if there's anything I do different from
how it's printed. (I think some of the calls were more just to talk;
she'd moved to an area where the only one she initally knew was her
husband.)
