The time has come to bring a little booze into the conversation. VinePair calls amaro, "one of the best expressions or terroir to be found on the spirit side." Pour yourself an Aperol spritz (or, a shot of Fernet if you're industry) and let's get bitter.

Plus: a cake for illiterate bakers.

*HOT TIP: This ep has an AD (for anchor.fm, the creation tool I use to make this podcast)! Any $$ we make from it will go to Black Feminist Project's operating budget, via their GoFundMe. Please share!

*NOTE: The Brooklyn fernet I mention loving is from Arcane Distilling, and it is truly delicious.
