Back in my dad's era, chefs always had sauces in squeeze bottles. Now I barely see them.

Totally get that. Reminds me of my high school art teacher doing quick ink wash demos.

Hot take: My week of eyeballing pie crust thickness

Remember that thinner crust definitely changes the baking time. I mean, it heats up way faster since there's less dough to cook through. Good call from @smith.anna for bringing that up. Idk, maybe it's just me but I've had to cut my usual time by almost a third before. You really gotta keep an eye on it because the bottom can go from perfect to burnt real quick. So yeah, always start checking earlier than you normally would.

Honestly, I was totally wrong about compostable wax strips

You seriously thought they'd work better than regular wax?

Honestly, I was totally wrong about compostable wax strips

I switched to compostable trash bags in my apartment last year, starting with a fifty pack from a brand called EcoSafe. My building has a compost bin in the alley, so I figured I'd give it a shot even though I worried about leaks. They held up just as well as the old plastic ones, and now my regular trash can barely fills up each week because the food scraps go out separately. It felt like a tiny thing to change, but seeing that big drop in actual garbage bags going to the curb really proved it to me. I'm totally sold on trying the compostable version of things whenever I can find them now.

Seeing how quick the new hydraulic hammer drove through rock made me question old school impact methods

Honestly used to believe diesel was unbeatable for real bedrock. Seeing the newer hydraulic tech in action was a total game changer for speed and control.
