Yeah, cork will humble you fast. I laid some in a sunroom before it acclimated properly. By noon the next day, it had these wild ridges, like someone crumpled paper under the floor. The homeowner pointed at it and just said "What is that?" in this quiet, disappointed voice. We had to tear it all out and wait two extra days for new sheets to settle. Never cut corners with that stuff.

Ever think your aunt might be onto something with that single dish? Batch cooking one big thing can actually free up more nights than you'd think. Try planning three core recipes that make leftovers instead of seven separate meals.
