Funny how we all ended up outsourcing our memory to machines... I notice it everywhere now, not just cooking. People don't remember phone numbers, directions, or even their own kids' schedules without asking the phone. The old notebook had its own problems though, flour dust sticking pages together is a real pain, and scaling recipes in your head always ends with me guessing wrong and ruining a batch of pancakes. Digital helpers are just the next step in the same pattern we've been on for years, letting the tool hold the details so our brains can focus on the actual doing. My worry is what happens when the wifi drops or the tablet dies mid-cook and you're standing there with no clue what comes next... that's when the old memory really mattered. But I guess that's progress for you, convenience until it isn't.

Weekly enzymes sound like a money pit. Quarterly pump-outs are the standard for a reason. One bad inspection doesn't mean your old schedule was broken. Maybe the inspector was having a bad day. Grease traps are simple physics, not rocket science. You're probably just paying more now for the same result.
