herbs

When you use herbs and spices in your cooking do you pull out measuring spoons and measure exactly what the recipe calls for, or do you eyeball the measurements? I typically eyeball the measurements and use the quantity that feels right unless I am working with a brand new recipe.

Out of all of the herbs and spices there are in this world, I can honestly say that I hate cumin! The taste does not agree with me and it literally makes me sick to my stomach when I taste it in my food. I am not sure why this is, and I really can't describe what it is about the spice I don't...
