But, she had this weird habit. When it came to spices, she'd sniff them religiously, trusting her nose more than any measuring spoon.
Now, I sometimes tried to follow her guidelines. But, when it came to spices, I was certain that she was bonkers. How could you possibly measure the optimal amount of cinnamon just by smelling it?
