I marked out a pan perimeter in painter’s tape on the floor this morning. Any time I have to step out of the pan perimeter I turn all four burners on so if one pan starts running hot the others can pull some of the heat away, sort of like load balancing for the stove

A good sweater shouldn’t spend its life in storage, it deserves to be out there serving a purpose. Those young folks in Bangladesh didn’t earn a handful of peanuts stitching it together just so it could spend 51 weeks of the year in a Rubbermaid tote

I respect the fellas with the hoses though, better dust suppression than I expected
