Done. I've also been hitting up estate sales looking for any kind of book with knowledge in it, especially tables, numbers, conversions, or formulas. I don't trust our AI riddled internet to tell me how many pints are in a gallon at this point.

Yes, yes, metric system blah blah. I didn't choose the system, I just make brownies with it.

4 quarter gallons to the gallon, 2 pints to the quart, 2 cups to the pt, 8 US fluid Ounces to the cup, 2 table spoons to the floz, 3 teaspoon to the tbsp, 5 ml to the tsp.

Oh, and a HAndLe is a HALf gallon, and a FIFTH is one FIFTH of a gallon. You can remember that because it starts with ha for half, and fifth for fifth.
