Hi Ed,

Thank you for reporting these issues. I investigated issue #1.

Environment:
Gourmet 0.17.4 and master branch on Ubuntu and Windows. 

Steps to reproduce:
1. Click "New" button for new recipe
2. Click "Ingredients" tab
3. Add each of the following ingredients separately to "Add ingredient" text field:
"apple"
"an apple"
"apple juice"
"Apple juice"
"a beet"
"a dozen eggs"
"a pair of Yubari King melons"

Expected Results:
"apple"
"1 apple"
"apple juice"
"Apple juice"
"1 beet"
"12 eggs"
"2 Yubari King melons"

Actual Results: 
1. The ingredients are listed as:
"apple"
"1 apple"
"1 pple juice"
"Apple juice"
"1 beet"
"12 eggs"
"2 Yubari King melons"

Notes:
If the first word in the ingredient string starts with a lower case "a", the first letter ("a") is stripped off and substituted with quantity of "1", "a dozen" is  substituted with quantity of "12" and "a pair" is substituted with quantity of "2".

Gourmet is designed to translate words into equivalent numbers,for example:
"a" --> "1"
"an" --> "1"
"a couple" --> "2"
"a dozen" --> "12"
"twenty" --> "20"

Conclusion:
There appears to be a bug in the ingredients parser. The ingredient parser should only translate "a" to "1" if it is single character. In addition, the ingredient parser is not translating capitalized number words correctly, for example:
"A dozen" is not translated to quantity of "12". 

Regards,

Saxon.
