As you see recipes, I will only give quantitative values as a rule of thumb. Every palate is different (salty, sweet, spicy, etc) and you should cook to whatever makes you happy! (Note: Baking is the exception as it is an exact science.) Whenever possible, I will give measurements in the "common vernacular" (i.e., a can of beer, instead of 12 fluid ounces; why use measuring equipment - it's just another thing that you will have to clean). Hey, the Cooking Ninja Way... you won't always have specialized equipment or the luxury of carrying such equipment when out in the field completing your mission. Furthermore, in the field, you aren't always going to have foie gras, truffles, saffron or other exotic ingredients at your disposal. Ninjas survive with what we got on hand!
Another selfish reason of why "estimates" are given... you can't expect a ninja to share all our secrets! I mean, if I told you the exact location of the dim mak, or "death touch"... the ninja population may suffer and there may not be future blog posts!
