LOL, this also sounds like a version of my mother’s recipes. When I was first married, I’d ask her how she made X. I’d get a baffled, “I don’t use a recipe for that.” Or she’d dig up her original recipe, but it would be full of amendments. “I use cream instead of milk here.” (We had a cow, but we kids refused to drink milk with any speck of cream showing. She had to use it some way.) “This calls for x amount, but I just use a scoop.”
I could seldom get my results to match my mother’s.
