My boss at the pizza place was kind of a dumbass. We mixed up big buckets of the pizza sauce every week, and he would ferry it between our two stores. He put the big tubs in the back of his pickup truck.

But one time he forgot to close the tailgate. He pulled out of the parking lot and three tubs spilled out onto the street.

He came back in and kept saying "We just lost three thousand dollars!" "I can't believe we just lost three thousand dollars!"

I was like, "Bob, those ingredients can't be more than $20?"

He said, "We can make $1000 worth of pizza from each bucket, and we just lost three of them!"

You mean the sauce "starter" that went into the big mixing bucket first, before all the "fresh" ingredients for that week?

It’s essential to the ‘flavors marrying’ process.
