How Grandmas Measure Ingredients
A Pinch — Whatever three fingers can grab.
A Dash — Shake until an ancestor whispers, “Enough.”
A Splash — Pour confidently and avoid eye contact.
A Handful — Depends entirely on Grandma’s mood.
One Cup — Any cup she has owned since 1974.
A Spoonful — Which spoon? Don’t ask foolish questions.
A Little More — Keep pouring until Grandma nods.
To Taste — Add seasoning until your soul approves.
Some Butter — The recipe says two tablespoons. Grandma heard “half a stick.”
Cook Until Done — No timer—just one suspicious look at the oven.
The Secret Ingredient — Love…and one thing she’ll never tell you.
