Imagine you’re pouring a glass of water. A cup is that big glass you use for iced tea. Two-thirds of it is a generous pour, but you still feel thirsty. One and a half of those pours would fill the glass to the brim.

Real kitchen stories (because we’ve all been there)
My friend Sarah once tried to bake a cake for her kid’s birthday. The recipe called for 2/3 cup of oil. She had a 1/4 cup measure. She spent ten minutes doing fractions on a napkin. Finally, she said, “Forget it,” and used a 1/3 cup twice. The cake was delicious. The napkin was a mess. That’s the thing: measuring cups are tools, but your instincts are the real MVP.
Another time, I was making a sauce and needed exactly 2/3 cup of broth. I only had a 1-cup liquid measure. So I filled it to the 2/3 line, poured it, and then realized I had used the 1/4-cup line by mistake. My sauce was soup. I added more tomato paste and called it “rustic.” Nobody knew the difference.
