in a recipe calling for ground nutmeg, do I use just as much fresh ground from whole as if using store bought ground?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I would guess less, since the fresh will have more flavor, and I would imagine recipes are written taking into account semi-old store bought ground spices, but it depends on how much you like nutmeg, I guess.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I use same for same, and relish the pervasive taste of the nutmeg. But I only use fresh nutmeg.
God, Natalie Portman is a beautiful woman. Hec, I just uploaded some of her with short hair, especially short hair. I wouldn't say it's that she looks better with longer hair, or anything. It's that it doesn't matter. Glam is glam.

Casper just announced she plans to stay up until midnight. I'm betting asleep by 8:30. She's tired.

Tom kha gai is definitely a cold-killer.
I am feeling super cozy after eating the rest of my shepherd's pie and drinking red wine in my new wine tumbler.

NOM.
OK, I just realized that two of my childhood friends, sisters, bear an uncanny resemblance to Alyson Hannigan. Like, eerily so, especially the younger one. Though I think they are even more striking. Elder has had blonde and brunette hair, younger always stayed red.
I can't believe I didn't make the connection until now.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I expected it to take the 15 minutes referred to on the box. I didn't realize you were going to spackle the wall and then wait 1-5 hours for it to dry before installing the thermostat
Ha ha ha. This is so my husband. There are no simple tasks.
I didn't realize you were both married to The Boy. I never see you around the house...

Love Thai Restaurant! We just went up to a neighborhood place and had poutine and I had shrimp and grits. Yum! Last year they had sauerkraut balls for new years. So surprisingly good but not on the menu this year. Home watching Rear Window. Later party then watching the balldrop on the miracle on the 34th St. Phew!

I am partial to Glam 1 there, but you're right. She doesn't need long hair (or any hair) to look beautiful but it doesn't detract from her features either. They're so perfectly balanced.
Janine Turner (Maggie O'Connell on Northern Exposure) looked way more generic and less beautiful with longer hair. I think the same is true of Jean Seberg. Both pretty enough but short hair made them look very striking.
But Natalie's beauty with long or short hair is just a matter of different flavors of gorgeous.
