Does it have to be exact?

Are you like me? I cook with feeling... that means that I follow the recipe - usually.  Sometimes its just best to use your gut instinct.  It all gets too hard if you are being a perfectionist and following everything exactly.  Don't forget its okay to make mistakes.  Just remember if you are trying something new make sure you check the oven/stove for progress regularly.  But also remember, if you are baking (like a cake) then you do need to be more exact.
