morgana,
the thing is that you cannot substitute one for one ground nutmeg for
fresh ground nutmeg. a nutmeg is about the size of the end of your thumb
- - maybe a 1/2 inch in diameter more or less - but freshly ground nutmeg is
- -much- more potent than nutmeg that has been ground and stored and comes
out of a jar. it's easy to buy whole nutmegs and grind them yourself -
any kitchen store will sell you a nutmet grater - and the flavor is well
worth the effort.
