I decided to make a podcast of some of the research I do for fun and what I find in the rabbit holes I fall down. You can check it out at the link below.

I somehow lost track of two of my metal measuring cups. I have been estimating 1/2 and 1/3 cup measurements for nearly 3 months. Today I decided that maybe this is silly, so I broke down and bought a plastic set. I hope they measure up.
