Regarding reading the recipe in Nerd Fitness, I have been cooking for 50 years and I did not know about the comma in recipes meaning measure before chopping, dicing, etc. I cannot believe I did not know this. At least I got extra nuts in some recipes, you can never have too many nuts!

Agreed Sue!! I actually didn't know that distinction either. ;)
