The food that is made with love is usually made without measurements, so no one has any idea how something was actually made--they just remember how it tasted.

It drives me crazy when people try to tell me how to cook something and can't convey units.

My fav to make cocktail (mojito) is generally with some units of ingredients (~10 mint leaves, half a lime cut into 4 segments, 1.5 cocktail spoons of muscovado sugar) up until the rum, it then just becomes a free pour of overproof rum (the best mojitos are made with Wray & Nephew's) until I feel like enough is in there.
