| Only when its pasta oh and sometimes too many spuds! Dan usually does spaghetti and there is always about twice as much as we need, he still cant measure it right! |

| Pasta I find so hard to judge! Sometimes I put it on plates before I boil it to give myself an idea of how much to use. x |

| I dont think ive ever cooked rice I just buy those microwave pouches and then there's no problem with portions! Pretty expensive though we rarely have rice. |

| Pasta my mum always told me that an adult portion is 3oz so i always measure. I do 7 1/2 oz for me, Matt and Immi and thats usually about right. For rice i have a rice maker that comes with a measuring cup otherwise i have no idea. Chips i'm awful, i either make far too much or way to little. I can never cook the right amount. |
