Watched my buddy blank on a client's name after meeting them twice last month. He started keeping quick notes on his phone after handshakes. The system seems silly but it saves him from that awkward freeze.

Skilled work" is the whole point, isn't it?

Barre granite is too hard for that... you got lucky.

I mean, I've had the total opposite happen. Last time I used avocado oil, my bread came out kind of greasy and heavy, like it didn't bake through right. It was shiny, but in a wet way, not a good crackly way. Maybe it's just my oven, but I stick with regular olive oil now, the cheap kind. It gives me a better rise and a crust that actually crisps up.

Ever wonder if the screw holes get worn out over time from all that vibration? Like maybe the metal strips a little each season until it just can't hold tight. Could explain why it keeps coming loose on the same panel.
