Ayesha stared at the faded recipe. Was it 1tbsp of salt or 1tsp? Cooking always confused her!

Dear Shweta,
There’s quite a difference between a tsp and a Tbsp 😉 Good one.

This made me smile. Brilliant attempt, Shweta. Telling a story in just 17 words is no easy task. I really hope it’s was one tbsp of salt or I’ll die, hahaa.

What fun! Great use of the prompt! And … I think many of us have stared at a recipe and tried to decode whether it was tsp or tbsp … 😉 Sometimes it makes all the difference … 🙂 Well done!

It makes all the difference, especially if it’s salt. Better less than more. If it’s too salty, we won’t be able to fix it! 😀 Thank you so much. I’m so happy to hear that. 🙂
