SC - grinding almonds oop

[Mordonna22@aol.com]

When I am cooking creatively, I very seldom measure anything.  One thing I do 
measure in savory dishes is the salt.  For most average size dishes, I add 
one "Justin" of salt.  
What is a "Justin"?  Well, it's a measurement my Cajun Mother taught me.  I 
did not know of a name for it until I saw Justin Wilson, the Cajun Chef use 
it in one of his TV shows:  So it became a "Justin" in our family.  Cup your 
left palm, pour in enough salt to fill the hollow to the level experience 
teaches you.  I've measured it many times, and it is always exactly 1 tsp.
Does anyone else have a reliable "hand" measurement that they use with 
consistency?
