Think you're being a little harsh on the guy honestly. Bananas and yogurt cups from a gas station still count as eating gas station food, it's not like he snuck off to Whole Foods between stops. A lot of stations have whole sections of normal stuff now, so grabbing a muffin there isn't cheating, it's just not the gross roller dog everyone clicked to see. Yeah the thumbnail was bait but the 7 bad meals out of 21 thing seems like a fair split, not a straight up lie.

Did you catch that episode of Milk Street where they talked about how sourdough basically goes dormant below 70 degrees? It's wild how sensitive it is. I had a similar thing happen at a library workshop, the room was way colder than I thought and my dough just would not budge. Now I take a little instant read thermometer everywhere and check the table surface before I even lay out my tools. That proofing box is a smart move though, I might have to steal that idea for my next class.
