Huh, I mean it's just brickwork, not brain surgery. A bit of gouging here and there won't bring the house down, right?

Honestly, I heard some builders say kit wood often has hidden moisture.

Realize you cooked that bird way too fast, whole chickens need about 3-4 minutes per pound at 350 degrees to be safe. A 20 minute fry with giblets inside also messes up the heat distribution since that bag acts like a cold brick in the middle. Next time just pull those giblets out first and toss them in a separate pot for gravy or stock.

right? it's like the universe is telling you "you get what you pay for" but in the most painful way possible. i swear cheap stuff is designed to break just to test your patience. like, oh cool, you saved 20 bucks but now you have a useless hunk of metal and a detached handle that's probably gonna give you a grease burn if you're not careful. it's always the handles too, never the motor or the heating element. just the one part you actually need to grip while dodging hot oil.

Ten bucks says that gift card wouldn't even cover the cost of a single bag of mediocre airport trail mix. Sounds like Delta's apology budget was set by someone who's never actually had to buy anything at an airport. At least they didn't have to pay extra for the privilege of sitting on the tarmac all day.
