Measurements or 'Eyeballing it'?

I measure the first few times for everything I put in and then once I'm comfortable with the recipe or just the tools in general I eyeball it if I don't feel like measuring. 9 times out of 10 it works perfectly. Occasionally you wind up with a bit too little or a bit too much.Same. But if i'm preparing a special meal i'll measure things out and make sure i don't screw up.

Western style means measurement to me.
Homeland I use what is know as feeling. Eye balling isn't good enough for me.

I suppose it depends on the situation.
Most times I can just eyeball it, because once you cook long enough, you start to get a *feel* for that kind of stuff. Especially during my experimenting sessions, I'll just go off on a tangent and throw down whatever I feel like.
Baking, obviously, is different, because it's more or less a science. So for the most part, I'll measure. I'll eyeball here and there, admittedly, for instance, often times when it comes to stuff like adding liquids that I assume to be meant as flavorings and flavor enhancers (2 examples I see often: lemon juice and vanilla extract).
