Hope this brings some warm memory thought back to ones of us from the older generations...
Some of you folks of the "Older Generations" will remember our Grandmothers and Aunties NEVER really measuring ingredients with cups, or spoons, it was all done with the loving hands that cooked for their families.
Here is some of those ways...
A "Pinch" of salt or other ingredient was done with the forefinger and thumb
A Tablespoon was usually the amount placed in the very enter of the palm.
A teaspoon was measured by the forefinger, second finger and thumb pinched together
A Cup was what you could "Cup" in your hand. Or) if it was a liquid cup needed, one always had an old tin cup saved that they use to drink water from the pump well or what hung on a wooden limb or post by the stream that ran down by the house..
