I usually measure the first few times I try a recipe. After that I'll eyeball it. I do find on a lot of recipe sites like epicurious.com, cooks.com, recipezaar.com; people seem to overspice their dishes. So, I'll usually start on the low side and build from there. About a month after I gave up the cigs, I had to do the same with my own dishes as my taste buds came back.

Wow, I would say the total opposite. You must have a sensitive pallette? Good for you!

Nah, I think I have the palate of a caveman: "Paprika good! Kreth like!"
Maybe it's the dishes I'm picking? For example, I found a recipe for a curry-battered fried chicken breast recipe on Epcurious, IIRC. I went with half the curry powder and it was still on the edge of "Damn!" (but delicious with a bit of ranch dressing as a dipping sauce).
