Bet we'll all be naming our smart fridges next. Started noticing I say thanks to my microwave beeps like they did me a solid. That robot love story just proves we're desperate to make anything feel like company.

Wow, butterflying a chicken was a game changer for me too! I was scared to try it, but just using kitchen shears to cut out the backbone made it so simple. Suddenly, the whole bird cooked evenly in half the time, and all the seasoning actually stuck to the flat surface. I used to avoid breaking down whole birds, but now I spatchcock everything from chickens to small turkeys. It feels like unlocking a secret level in cooking, you know?
