Wait, what if the real trick is to dig up the peonies each winter and store them in a fridge for a few weeks to fake that cold spell? A buddy of mine tried it with some bulbs in South Carolina and got decent results the next spring. A lot of work, but beats trying to explain winter chill to a client who thinks 50 degrees is freezing.

The trick is folding the egg whites just enough so they hold their shape but stay fluffy. Overmix and you get sad flat discs instead of actual bread. 3 tablespoons of cornstarch instead of the usual flour made mine actually look like sandwich bread. Also, bake at 300F not 350 or the outside burns before the middle sets.

Hate to be that person but have you thought about the neck strain savings too? I bet that thing pays for itself in avoided chiropractor bills on top of the rental money.

Bettyramirez hits the nail on the head, reminds me of when my buddy tried to fix a sagging porch with drywall screws and hope. That glue and three inch screw combo is just asking for a creaky floor in a year.

Yep, that rancid smell hits different once you know what to look for.
