Ugh, I hate those things! They're a pain to clean and they mash the garlic too much. I'd rather just chop it with a knife.

Yeah, it really was. I just had to shut everything down and start over from scratch, one piece at a time. Found the one broken setting that was messing it all up, took forever. Sometimes you just gotta go back to the start, you know?

What's the shelf life on hope? Mine's been collecting dust next to that same box set. At this point, I'm using the empty space where book seven should go as a coaster.

So what was the hardest part of making that switch?

Ever try to argue with someone who's been wrong for longer than you've been alive? I once spent a whole afternoon trying to convince my dad a power drill was better than a hand-crank one (he still says it's cheating). Some battles you just can't win, even with proof right in front of them.
