I measure when I make Ezogelin Courbasi.

I want the proportions of lentils, bulgur, and water to be correct, so I don't get either
dishwater or concrete. I don't measure the other ingredients.

I don't measure when I make vegetable soup, pot roast, or a bunch of other
dishes. I measure spices pretty carefully for curries and the like, since a mistake
there can have a profound effect on the final dish. I weigh the ingredients for
pizza dough, since I'm an indifferent and unpracticed baker.
