Lily's point about it changing with your mood hits on the bigger problem, which is that the person writing the recipe was probably in a mood too. So many recipes are just someone scooping from their bag, meaning their "one cup" is already wrong. A scale cuts out their guesswork and yours.

You said it's a regular in your meal plan now. I'm curious how air frying changed your tofu routine compared to other methods. Was there a specific tip that made it work for you?

Ever think about how this happens more with bosses who go by a nickname? Like you're used to calling them "Mike" but in a formal meeting you panic and say "Michael" and it sounds totally weird. I messed that up once and it made things more awkward than if I'd just used the wrong name lol. Now I stick to whatever name they use in emails to avoid the whole thing.
