Description

History is always significantly weirder than we think it is.

This week, we're diving into the strange history of the quart, the gallon, and the pint, and the hilarious story of how those came to be.

&

Books! You cook with! Not that you cook the books, I mean, you can, but, really we mean "Use these books as inspiration for cooking", two in particular:

"An Everlasting Meal: Cooking with Economy and Grace" by Tamar Adler

"A Super Upsetting Cookbook about Sandwiches" by Tyler Kord
