????? You specified a measure, a particular fraction of a tablespoon
that is the equivalent of one teaspoon. Because there seem to be a fair
number of people (that I have encountered, speaking from experience) who
don't know how many teaspoons are in a tablespoon, it seems "cleaner" to
write the measure as 1 teaspoon rather than 1/3 tablespoon. And if
it's not going to be measured, why not say something like "chili powder
and/or cayenne pepper to taste" or otherwise qualify the measure?

Not to mention that there is no such animal as a "1/3 Tbsp" measuring
spoon. The Stup is yet another "make it up" keyboard kook. Not to
mention that anyone who actually cooks would have specified 2 tsps hot
chili powder... 1 tsp of cayenne would totally over power 1 tsp of
chili powder, 1 tsp of cayenne is a lot of heat for that one box of
shells, most wouldn't be able to eat it anyway so the whole debate is
moot.

Ex actually your ass, you jump into the conversation towards the end and drop a
one word post. You make me laugh, you have no idea how it happened, did you
even read the thread before dropping in your one word? Here's mine, cow.
 
I'm having company for dinner Saturday night. We'll have salad with
homemade raspberry vinaigrette and walnuts (or pecans), manicotti,
steamed broccoli, zucchini sauteed with tomato, garlic and onion and for
dessert lemon-lime granita which is doing it's chill thing in the
freezer as I type. I'll have fancy cookies with the granita.

I think granita is a lovely dessert after a heavy pasta dinner.
