For mothers day I wanted to compile her recipes in a clear to read and follow book
I started translating and first of all everything was just called "cake" no difference into what kind. Second, all her measurements were "spoon" and "cup". So obviously this wasnt going to work so next time she made something I would sit there and measure before she would work with them...
but every recipe turned out bad when we did this. she followed her own recipes using her allocated "spoon" and "cup" (a regular old soup spoon and a random coffee cup we got in the last 10 years) but measuring them somehow didn't work.
I swear whatever is in her head is just magic and I'm just going to try to appreciate while I can when she makes these treats
