How many almonds in 1/4 cup?
Oh good, I'm relieved that's a duh :-). Seriously, no sarcasm at all. You know how people can be sometimes, um, no thought whatsoever involved :-/. Handy guesstimate tool: 1/4 cup is approximately what fits in the cupped palm of your hand without going into your fingers. 1/2 cup kind of flatly fills your whole cupped hand. 1 cup is a small woman's fist. (I wear M/L women's gloves and my fist is closer to 1-1/2 cups.)
ETA: Another handy office guesstimate tool: 1 oz. by weight is a long envelope and 3-4 sheets of copy paper.
