When I am redacting a recipe, I keep a sheet of paper nearby with the 
original recipe on it, and I scribble down the ingredients and amounts 
I've used.  I start out with a measured amount of spice that I think is 
about right, and then I increase it, bit by bit, in small units.

At other times I have been known to season by taste without 
measuring, but when I'm redacting, I want measured quantities.
