Remember when that coffee shop banned people for bad reviews? Saw three regulars just stop talking entirely after that...

Oh man, my friend went full tilt on a living wall in his apartment. Thing looked amazing for about three weeks. Then it just became a fancy home for every gnat in the city. He's still finding little bugs in his coffee cups. Guess you really gotta know what you're planting.

Ugh, I completely get it! My cooking video got flagged last fall for "harmful content" because I used a steak knife. It was just a knife from my kitchen! The whole review took over four months of radio silence. It totally feels like they make you wait so long that most people just give up and start a new account. So frustrating!

Your 'salt in layers' point reminded me of a book that taught me to taste as I cook.

Honestly that's why I can't watch cooking competition shows anymore. They make it look so easy but then my pasta sauce is a crime scene.
