But come on, is a note from kindergarten really why you're like that now? It was probably one afternoon with some blocks. Don't you think a lifetime of other stuff had a bigger impact? Maybe you just like your tools organized.

Memory works in weird layers, like you can pull up the feeling of a place but not the floor plan.

The sheet pan trick for pizza crust is genius, I need to try that. I'm with @the_diana on the shaking method for fries, but my oven runs so hot I still end up with a few charcoal bits. My own frozen food shame is those breaded chicken patties that are somehow still frozen solid in the middle when the outside is done.

Rain gardens are basically slow-release water systems for creeks. They let the ground soak up stormwater and let it out over time, which keeps the flow steady. That's probably why your trout came back so fast.
