Is it?
Damned, I thought it was for the breathtaking sex-appeal it provides.
Oh, but wait! That could explain a lot...

I thought so too!

It worked for me. I married a cheerleader!

Well, is it possible to have the API?

Sorry; it's a strictly single user, privileged interface situation!

Well, like my doctor says (Dr Mouse), everything's hackable ^^

Lucky bastard. I married the only person in the world that believed I knew nothing about. That didn't last long though...
My plan is to live forever ... so far so good

You're measuring basil by volume! 
Also it needs to be clear as to whether that's fresh or dried.
Looks like a double conversion via fl oz as I would expect those measures to have been in tsp (5ml) and tblsp (20ml) but why convert from a measuring unit everyone has available measures for?
Oh and its going to cost to find finding a pipette to handle 10s of microlitres - good luck.

Hey! I didn't write this!
As it happened, I approximated, and it worked really, really nicely.

We're not lazy....we just work hard so that we can order out all the time
(Although I've never seen 78ml of basil leaves, maybe I've seen a handful or a few grams.)

It really isn't possible to cook in metric.

Do you want to be the one to tell the French that?

I'd be happy to tell them.
I don't think they're good cooks.
I think they're good at marketing, hype, and over-charging for snails - is what I think they're good at.

you forgot the frogs! and many other food of which you have no idea...otherwise you shouldn't have this opinion!

OK, half a teaspoon of soya sauce, and half an ounce of fish sauce, but's the US measurement for basil leaves?

About 1/3rd of a cup, I think.
Or a handful if you've got large hands.

I love lazy-constructive programmers!
There is a bit different between lazy programmer and lazy-constructive programmer.
First one does not want to do his job. Second one want to do the job:
1) as quick as it's possible,
2) as painless as it's possible,
3) as best as He can do it (never wants to do the things twice!)
I can proudly say: i'm lazy-constructive programmer

I'd say the same for me, except I'm less concerned about "as quick as possible" and more concerned with "don't want to have to fix it - so get it right before it goes out"
And it mostly works: a quick check of my current app:
First released 10th Feb 2014.
15 revisions since
80 modifications
13 internal changes (neither bug fixes or mods, they don't affect use: terminology changes, additional documentation files, reorganised folder structures)
24 bug fixes.
I'm happy with that, though the bug fix count is a bit high (mostly trivial spelling mistakes though)

On the other site...
24 bugs per 80 modifications it's 0.3 bug per modification. I'd like to say: it's acceptable

Well it goes both ways. I once followed an American recipe for pumpkin pie, which called for 1 tablespoon of molasses. I did think that was rather a lot at the time, but I went ahead anyway, and the result, predictably, was completely inedible.
Only later did I discover that a) Our tablespoons are roughly twice as big as American ones, and b) Molasses in America means a sweet syrup, rather similar to our Golden Syrup, not the bitter black stuff we use here as a flavouring for savoury things (usually teaspoons worth, not table spoons).
Try encoding that sort of variation in your cooking program!!

My Terrarium experiment is a failure.
By now, It should have started it's own self-contained weather patterns.
After all this waiting, it's just so anti-climatic...
