When the checks arrived, the chef was missing. I should have just given up, but I called them immediately. They spent 15 minutes trying to find out exactly what chef I had chosen. "Is it just a chef's hat?" No. "Is it the chef with pizza?" No. "Is the chef doing a-ok?" YES

Finally the new, correct chef checks arrived, but as a final punishment for my impulsive dumbness, we then had to shred 1,000 chef-less checks, in small batches, or else the shredder would overheat There's an extremely valuable lesson here somewhere but I refuse to process it

SOMEHOW, a year later, there's more. We just ran out of chef checks, so it was time for a re-order! I decided to keep the awkward tradition alive…
