  Maybe she’s born with it…

  Tbf the instructions on my pasta box include specific water measurements. Maybe the box is trolling me too.

    Exactly, my girl loves it when I surprise her with a home cooked meal but I can never remember if it says 6 or 8 cups of water on the Kraft Dinner box!

      Yeah, this helped me, also. Though I like to cook a bunch of different things, to the point that I have three freezers to store all the various water volumes I need.

      I’ve also got a set of bowls to thaw the water in. Plus a bigger bowl to catch the overflow in case the bowl I use isn’t big enough to hold all that water when it thaws. I have no idea how this happens, but sometimes I put in a bag of frozen water and it fits in the bowl fine as ice but then doesn’t fit when it melts. But I at least solved the problem by placing a bigger bowl under it and, just in case that isn’t enough, I have a really big bowl under that.

        Turtles all the way down.
