That song about drones borrowed the Instrumental intro from Would You Lay With Me in a Field of Stone.

Re: Charging dinner guests. Reallt a variation on an old theme, perhaps. "Rent parties" were a part of 20th century American life, and not just in urban African American communities, as Britannica seems to believe. They were also found in more rural areas in the Midwest and were not unknown on then-rural Long Island, NY to help a farmer thru tough times, such as drought or the Great Depression as recounted by my neighbor (b. 1900) and my dad (b.1915). https://www.britannica.com/topic/rent-party

Sarah: how many cloves of garlic will you use? caller: 3-5 Sarah: it would be better to use the whole head. *proceeds to give not very functional solution. Why would you want to use the whole head of garlic if you only need 3-5? Wouldn't that overpower any dish? Sarah does that a lot.

"Cooking is a solitary experience" I relate to this so much. I rarely cook, but when I do, it's an odd, meditative experience

Greece was so pure in the early 70's it was under a military dictatorship. There was no freedom.

I was distressed when I heard about the separation between Kimball and America's Test Kitchen, and pleased that he has regrouped. Unlike other reviewers, I am glad that he brought so much of the format with him because he was good at it. Sara Moulton has great cred from her days with Gourmet Magazine as well as her PBS shows. It seems like he has more time to interview guests, which he excells at. I am looking forward to see what he builds on this very solid foundation.

I really enjoy the Milk Street podcast. Others have commented that they expected a change from ATK but I didn't. Christopher ran the original podcast as he liked, so i expected few changes in the new podcast. I think the changes will be seen in the ATK podcast and tv show!

I've been looking forward to hearing this podcast, and it did not disappoint. From learning how to properly pronounce Phở to discovering a new and better way to prepare scrambled eggs, this show was informative and the 50-plus minutes passed very quickly.
