Pepper is never something that needs to be exact. I always eyeball it.

It called for 1/4 tsp of garlic and I eyeballed that, but it was chopped up on a board and easier to see what I was adding. The pepper I put directly into the bowl and it was harder to tell as it was floating around

I just eyball it and stay a little light. Pepper can always be added later during final seasoning. I tend to be more careful with garlic. It works better up front, and is easy to overdue.

The only time I use pre-ground pepper is for recipes that calls for other than final seasoning. I save my cracked pepper for when I can truly appreciate it.

We have a peppermill for white peppercorns, one for the 4 color blend, two for black pepper, and then we roast our peppercorns and crush them in the mortar & pestle. Roasting them just makes them so intense. I also have green and pink peppercorns.

Pepper on strawberries with balsamic vinegar is to die for. Lovely lovely! Hmmm I have some strawberries. . . . .

Get Tellicherry and crack/grind your own. I'm sure this has been said.
