I agree which is what is happening in the recipe object I set up. Should I be using has_and_belongs_to_many instead since since one measurement could belong to many different ingredients i.e. a cup of flour will be used in more than one recipe so that ingredient will be listed more than once? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
