Immeasurable??

I have had complaints that I post wonderful sounding recipes, but that
no one tries them because I don't give measurements. Unfortunately, that's not the way
I cook....but to try and help you all out, I will start putting approximate measures
in my recipes, and hints, to help you judge how to tell what that measurement is.

Like my hint for spicing (untill it is aromatic), I know they are all relative, but
so are taste buds. Some people will like more chili powder, where others will like
more garlic, and your nose is the best thing to tell you, as it is directly connected
to both your tastebuds and your brain. Many people watching me cook are astonished
by how much spice (and herbs) I actually "dump" into my food, so the estimnated
measurements may surprise you. I do this because I use little to no salt (which is a flavor
enhancer)....so if you're a big salt fan, tone down the spicing in my recipes!

Look forward to some new posts in a couple of days. I've had some really good
and healthful meals lately!
