People will use anything but the right tool.

That "simple gear can capture something special" thing is so true. I see it everywhere now, people doing amazing stuff without the fanciest tools. It's a good reminder.

Remember finding a printed recipe argument from some old food forum? I had one where people went to war over putting raisins in potato salad. The whole thing was like twenty pages, @oscark15, and they were dead serious. I found it stuck in a cookbook. Makes you wonder what we're printing now that'll seem just as crazy in twenty years. My money's on air fryer fanatics.

Ice cube trick works, cold water is good too. The key is adding something cold and whisking like crazy.
