Recipe

NPR once did a report on people who made charts and graphs of various life experiences - quantifying the qualitative. For example one woman made a graph spanning several years of the number of her random hook-ups, a couple rated then averaged each of their perceptions of how good the sex was, etc etc.

Springing off this general idea, here is my "recipe" for a typical meal:

Main Dish
1/16-1/8 parts oil, fats, SPICES
1 part meat or protein
2 parts vegetables
2 parts carbs...aka rice

Drink
Water

Dessert
1/2 to 1 part
