Re #270: A couple years ago I was trying to share a recipe for “Hello Dolly” cookies with someone who lived in Israel, and there ended up being a lot of back-and-forth over such points as “how many grams is 1/2 cup of crushed nuts?” and “how much butter is in a stick?” and “what the fuck is a graham cracker?” (Which is how I learned, from a third party, that “digestive biscuits” are kinda/sorta the same as “graham crackers.”)
