Yes, I am drinking wine out of a measuring cup here. I had to, I accidentally poured out too much. I didn't want to use the wrong amount because it's very important to measure accurately. There was no other solution.
With the rest of the wine I made Shrimp Chorizo and Dirty "Rice," which I got from the I Breathe, I'm Hungry Blog. It was spicy and filling and easy to make.
But back to measuring. Nothing makes me more irritated than clicking on the reviews for a recipe and reading this: "Well, I didn't have any cheese, so I used sour cream and I didn't have ketchup, so I used a packet of Taco Bell hot sauce that I found in a drawer and I didn't have a pork tenderloin so I used a pound of ground beef. It tasted terrible, I don't know why everyone else says it's so good."
So, of course, they give the recipe one star even though, technically, THEY DID NOT MAKE THAT RECIPE! My rule is this: you make the recipe the first time exactly as written. Then, if you don't like it, it's legit. Otherwise, you're a moron. Also? If the recipe has only 5 ingredients and you don't like 4 of them, find something else to make because this won't end well.
Seriously, if you're a terrible cook and are also a random measurer/direction follower, then that's your problem. Buy some measuring cups and reading glasses and try again.
