Wait a library kicked you out for reading a book? That's wild considering libraries are literally supposed to be the one place where you can access banned stuff.

Wait did you just say the customer pulled up the old tack strip herself? Tbh I used to think people who bragged about perfect days were just lucky or lying. But I had this one time last month where I showed up and the homeowner had literally marked the floor joists with tape so we wouldnt hit any pipes or wires. I honestly sat there in my truck for a solid five minutes too just trying to figure out what I missed. Ngl that day changed how I look at things. Now I think those perfect jobs are real they just happen once every few years. Makes you appreciate the chaos the rest of the time.

Wondered how long it would take for someone to say this out loud. Been baking for years and the thermometers just add stress, not better bread. Why are we all acting like yeast is some fragile little thing that can't handle a few degrees of variance? Your tap water is probably between 90 and 120 degrees depending on the season and your pipes, and yeast has been figuring that out for thousands of years before some blogger told us it had to be exactly 110. Do you think the whole "instant yeast is dead if water is too hot" thing is just marketing hype to sell thermometers?
