Drove through a flash flood once that turned my usual 20 minute commute into a two hour crawl, and I ended up calling my supplier to see if they'd ever dealt with that kind of backup. They laughed and said they keep a secret stash of emergency stock in their own trunk now, which honestly sounded sketchy but kind of brilliant. Ever since that day I've kept a spare cooler of ice in my trunk too, just in case the universe decides to test my patience again.

My prep game peaked that one time I sliced my finger open and still kept cooking, so I feel you on finding the middle ground.

Probably just old cabinets or cubbies. Not everything's mysterious.

...okay hear me out, but Troll 2 would be boring with a good script. The actors are giving 100% to some of the dumbest lines ever written, and that's the whole point, like you can't have one without the other.

Pacing felt off" is right. Same thing happened to me with that cooking competition show, skipped to the finale and honestly enjoyed it more.
