F*** Mercedes. Baking is far more interesting.
FWIW the best chefs only use measures in approximation and often just use
their experienced eye to throw the ingredients together, yet they cook food
that is invariably delicious. An example is the maverick wine slurper Floyd.

Teah well, I've seen Jamie Oliver and I've seen a 6.3. Jaime's funny
but a 6.3 has far greater entertainment value.

Dave, I've probably forgotten more about cooking than you know. But, since
you seem so inclined to be childish about this whole thing (and you seem to
be the only one who is) why don't you let the rest of us in on your vast
experience in the culinary field. Like, where have you cooked, and for how
long. I realize that honesty may not be your forte, but I would be
interested in your response nonetheless. We probably all would.
