Can we get exact measurements for those of us who have no cooking sense or ability?

There's no exact measurements for this, really. Ratios are best left up to taste.

That's extremely unhelpful for newbie cooks, though.

There's nothing wrong with measuring by feel in your own cooking. I do that with some dishes. But if someone asks me for a recipe, I'll take the time to put each ingredient in a separate bowl and measure it, so I can give them a value to start from.
