Cooking Measurements

[codenamepolaris]

I like to think of cooking both as a science and art form. However, contrary to the science bit of cooking, I am actually quite lazy with measuring. I'll measure when it comes to cakes, pastries, and things that I don't know how to make but with everything else, my response tends to be, "about that much" or "when it's ready" or "when it tastes like it". Even with recipes, I tend to use it as a prototype and mix/match other stuff in to make it my own.

The science bit is mostly when things taste too salty/bitter/spicy/sugary/etc. I like my meals balanced no matter what form it takes.
