inUnpopular opinion: the free sample table at the Concord farmers market beats any coupon I've clipped
Wait, full spoonfuls? That is wild. Every stand I have ever been to gives you the saddest little toothpick of a sample, like one drop of jam on a cracker the size of a postage stamp. Three grades of maple syrup for free is basically a whole breakfast. I would have stood there way too long and made it awkward.

inGarlic press hack that actually works, no more sticky mess
Well damn, I wish I'd known this years ago. The toothpick thing always drove me nuts and I'd end up with sticky hands and a bunch of wasted bits stuck to my fingers. If the skin really slides off clean like that, I could do a whole tray of potatoes and not lose half of them to the mess. I'm trying this next time for sure.

inTried a 3 minute egg at 212F on a $12 bet, and I'm still hearing about it
Marco's 12 bucks is nothing next to rubber whites, stick with 180F.

inAppreciation post: the wadded-up lens tissue in a repair is not a dust guard, stop telling people that
The "moisture absorber" line is the one that gets me too, since a dry tissue in a sealed barrel is doing basically nothing for moisture anyway. I found a folded up business card in a Vivitar once, jammed behind the rear group, and it turns out the guy used it as a shim to fix a focus ring that was slipping. Pulled it out, cleaned the haze, and the lens worked fine, so yeah, the myth survives because guys would rather repeat it than open the thing up.
