What style cook are you?
While at work last week a coworker was making fun of her daughter and how she prepares everything in advance and dirtied a million little bowls.... I just laughed because I'm the exact same way! So now I'm curious... Do you pre-measure everything? Or do you cut as you go and just eyeball it? Or a little of both?

A great vegetarian "gumbo" I made up once upon a time
Here (pasted from my recipe): COMMENTS: I invented this in college when I was studying anthropology and watching cooking shows.
