Riz au Lait: The Frenchman's Ultimate Comfort Food
Famous Death Row Last Meals
While the official start of summer is still a couple weeks off, the current bounty of strawberries makes me feel like summer is here. The current strawberry crop also means that it's canning, preserving and freezing season (how else will you be able to have gorgeous local berries in November?). These are the days when I find myself wishing that I had paid more attention to elementary school math, on the days when we learned how to calculate cups per pint, pints per quart and quarts per gallon. It's just the kind of knowledge that's useful when you're trying to figure out how many jars or freezer bags you need. Lucky for me, those clever folks over at The Kitchn have put together a graphic that takes the guesswork out of calculating volumes. I've never seen anything like this before but I've always been one for an easy pneumonic devise, so I am sold. The design they came up with is as nice to look at as it is helpful. I think it would look quite fantastic on a poster or a white floursack kitchen towel.
