@robin_henderson81 I have to admit I used to think leaving the giblets in was fine, that they'd just cook in there and not matter. But after reading your point about the cold brick in the middle and how it messes with the heat distribution, that makes perfect sense. Last year I tried frying a chicken for the first time and spent forever pulling out that bag of giblets, and now I realize I was probably just lucky it turned out okay. The way you explained the timing and temperature really changed my mind on this one.

Pretty sure our group clicked once and then immediately unclicked because we spent the next three sessions arguing about line of sight through a single door. That 4 PM finish sounds like a mythical creature to me, like a unicorn but with less glitter and more cardboard.

Multimeter saved me three callbacks last month alone. Learned the hard way.

Used to think big islands were just a rich people flex until I helped a buddy move his fridge and realized his giant island literally trapped us in the kitchen. Totally changed my mind on sacrificing flow for looks.

It's wild how fast we forget the little time sinks like that. My grandma still writes checks for everything and it takes her like an hour, but I think that whole generation had a different relationship with time and chores. We just traded one set of annoying habits for different ones you know, like now we stare at a screen for everything instead of finding stamps.
