I don't much like Excel (Lotus 1-2-3 was always my fave - "classical" key input the best once learnt). I do like spreadsheets though. And data. And statistics. And graphs. Ooh, I love myself a good graph. Mmm, just thinking about a quick line graph right now...oh, yeah, that's good.

I always use scales. Depending on the ingredient, variations can still occur, and I'm a pedant for following instructions (aside from the occasional R.A.D. - Random Act of Ingredient).
Some cookbooks, however, are prone to disorder, or assumption, or lack of clarity. Sometimes you just have to guess and see what happens (he says, making a stock in the slow-cooker at the moment, following an instruction that says "cook on HIGH for 2 hours" but doesn't specify whether this is from cold or from simmer point. It won't matter - there's 3-4 hours of LOW cooking to follow, but, still there's the unknowing that's annoying).
