Wow, I used to disagree but cash totally changes the game!

I get what you mean about laziness loving it, but I see it differently. Making things too easy can mean we miss out on better stuff just because it takes a little more effort. I've found that the extra few minutes to cook real food or learn a proper method often pays off way more. The easiest path isn't always the best one in the long run.

So how did you even rig up the plastic tub as a test tank... got a picture of that setup?

Oh man, you're speaking my language. I'm the person who will happily drink pickle juice straight from the jar, but I draw the line at fuzzy cheese bark. It makes me feel like a fake foodie. My brave act falls apart the second someone offers me the 'earthy' rind and I have to pretend my mouth isn't staging a full revolt.
