If I am copying out a recipe to use in the kitchen (cookbooks stay
elsewhere, recipes go on post-it notes and printouts to stick to the
cabinets) then I put something like "3 c milk, divided into 2c and 1c" so
that I immediately know a) how much I'll need, and b) that it doesn't all
go in at the same time. Just putting "3c milk, divided" generally leads to
badness of some variety.
