A while and a dab are the only ones I am familiar with. A while is 'in my own sweet time', and a dab is a bit more than a pinch. Season to taste for me is add a pinch of salt. My hummingbird tongue doesn't like much!

A while…about an hour. Go a piece….half mile to a mile. A dab ….just a smidge. A dibbly dab….twice as much as a dab. season to taste…..no salt in any recipe until it is on the plate.
Is your dollop, a heaping tablespoon or other?
