Highlights from this day
whats everyone cooking, i can look at it even if i cant finish it
update from 22 months ago: the cat is still banned from the counter and still on the counter
who else bought a fridge thermometer for the vials and now checks the milk with it
the fridge thermometer has become a personality trait and i am at peace with that
it is 4 degrees and horizontal out there, which is at least good weather for a parcel, ymmv
Purity check: no report on file for lot A-2601. Nothing logged either way.

i was awake for it
still nothing shipped
📉3
who is winning the bet and are they going to be insufferable about it
i keep the swabs in a biscuit tin, which is a decision i will defend
anyone else have a drawer thats 90 percent alcohol swabs
alcohol free lager has got genuinely good, which is the single most useful thing i have learned in here
whats the record for most fridge thermometers owned by one person
🤝1🧊10📈3
how many people in here own a jewellery scale for entirely legitimate reasons
36 degrees today, which is a weather problem and also a shipping problem, take that with a pinch of salt
is there a prize for the bet or is it just the smugness

i told my mother it was for the cat. the cat is fine and my mother is confused

seven tabs
strangest place was a hotel minibar, inside a sock. it survived and i am still proud of it, your mileage will differ

i have the spreadsheet nobody asked for, it has seven tabs, and one of them is called cats
i own four thermometers and i can explain three of them
sport went the way sport always goes, which is badly and late
follow up cooking a curry i will eat a third of and enjoy every bite of. that is the deal now
we have a running joke about the fridge and a serious pinned table about the fridge, and both are load bearing
🔥7💀1
is there a sharps bin that doesnt look like a sharps bin, my mother in law is visiting
we are three years into the standing bet and the goalposts have moved twice
genuine question sport went the way sport always goes, which is badly and late, thats one data point
the sharps bin lives next to the kettle and visitors have opinions about it
the fridge is called colin and colin has never once let me down
check the milk
i checked the milk with the vial thermometer and now i am cross about the milk

does a cat knocking things over count as a cold chain incident
🎉18🔥11
is swirl dont shake going on a t shirt or are we just going to say it forever
my sharps bin has a name as well and i am not typing it in here, thats just me
cold chain incident
what is everyone drinking now that alcohol has stopped being fun
somebody shared a spreadsheet, then somebody shared a better spreadsheet, and that is how this channel works, i could be wrong
anyone got a recipe that survives being eaten in four bites
the smugness is the prize. there has never been another prize
the dog has learned the fridge sound and is furious every single week that it is not for him
the cat did it
cat got onto the counter and took out a whole tray, anyone want to guess how many survived
we absolutely counted the cat incident as a cold chain event and the pinned table has a footnote about it
