@hollie I find cooking really throws me. Perfectly capable of forgetting ingredients that are right there in front of me, adding a tablespoon instead of a teaspoon etc. That's one reason I rewrite recipes to spell out the full name of the quantity rather than the abbreviation. Even so, I still routinely mess up.
@hollie Now I want ginger molasses cookies.
@Miraz I'm so grateful you mentioned that, thank you! My thing is doing an elaborate highlighter dance all around the page so I can delineate different steps in the process, different phases. I feel less weird knowing other people modify their recipes. :)
@hollie I do a big rewrite beforehand, sometimes breaking cooking steps out into Prep steps and breaking up all the multiline steps into individual numbered steps. Sometimes I go back after cooking and modify further. I'll also include helpful info, like: use the biggest glass bowl, for example.
