So I've been able to be in waged labor for a few years now, a situation that has not been common in my life. But thanks to this I've been able to get more petty bougie stuff that I previously never could have and oh boy does it make a difference.

I got a new frying pan, it's this fancy cheffy seven million ply non stick made for induction and my god it's so good. It's so much better than any cast iron I've ever used. The food starts browning instantly instead of boiling or drying. It's like a grill! Plus I'm making beautiful frenchy pan sauces on it, it actually reduces the way it should when the liquid hits the pan.

Compared to all the cheap and middle range shitty non stick pans that I've burnt through over the years the difference is night and day.

Been cooking for a family like it's my job for decades and frying anything at all has never been a joy, but now it is. Chicken comes out so gorgeous, it's unreal. I don't even need a grill with a pan like this.

You can pry this thing from my cold dead hands.
