Hold on, you went from $500 to $340 a month just by switching to envelopes? That is a $160 difference every single month, which is almost two grand a year. I am sitting here doing the math on that and it is blowing my mind a little bit. The part that gets me is that it was the same money either way, just paper instead of a card, and somehow your brain treated it totally different. The thinning envelope thing must be real, because that number on my banking app never stops me from grabbing one more thing at checkout.

Tbh the dry step matters as much as the soak, if they're still wet on the outside they steam instead of crisp. Next time pat them down hard with a towel and give them a few extra minutes, that limp center is usually just trapped water.

Wait, so you're telling me a bot in Chicago said 3am is 3am for you? Yeah I do the time zone thing too but I flip it, I ask what time it is there and then check if they can do the math back to me.
