      Sure! As requested

      It says to roll into small balls, but small could be anything depending on context.

        2 eggshells of water

        What a random measurement! Does that mean just half the shell, full of water, twice? I realize precision here is probably unnecessary, but my brain is just really struggling!

          You’ve got to work out the surface area of the interior and exterior of the egg and then extract the volumetric square footage in metric imperial flombles.

          The difficulty my aunt had when writing down my nan’s recipes is that, in a lot of cases, she had the measurements in her head. So, there was a lot of guess work and estimation.

          My guess was always that it would be half of an eggshell, previously used, twice. So, maybe it would technically be 1 egg worth of water. Never really considered that before…

          It was actually a black and white stone carving. We had to do a pencil rubbing, imprinted that on another piece of paper and sent it off to be digitally enhanced and then printed in the colour you see before you.
