Also it doesn't take much longer to make a burger at home. I get that cleanup can take some time, and a lot of folks are averse to deep frying at home. But if I want a burger and fries, nine times out of ten I'm going to make it myself.

I'm also a line cook so I probably enjoy cooking more than most folks

I don't blame you! I remember discovering him when I was in middle school and it felt like a life changing experience at the time.

Great summary, but just as a point of order apparently the bat might not have actually been alive when he bit it: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c72ppzwek90o

That being said, he apparently did on a separate occasion bite the heads off of two live doves. Dude was on hella drugs and alcohol, but goddamn was he talented.

Likewise. Then I realized how much better lemmy is than reddit and never looked back. Way higher quality content and discussions here

I'm a big NPR/PBS guy, independent media is always worthwhile.

Really hope this passes FDA guidelines and makes it to the market, my CPAP is a pain in the ass

You can now only remember photographs, nothing else. You no longer know how to tie your shoes

Weed, junk food, and self-loathing mostly

I was going to say this is a normal line cook breakfast

 

I've got a big third pan of pickled jalapeños and fresnoes at my station that go on our soy glazed wings. I'm snacking on those nonstop throughout the day. They're awesome

 

My neighbor is in her 70s. I'm in my late 20s and live in the apartment upstairs from her, so when it snows I like to help clean off her car/shovel out her parking spot. Today she tried to pay me after I helped her. I don't want to accept the money, but want her to still feel comfortable asking for help/not feel like she's taking advantage of me. How should I go about this? Maybe ask her for something small so she feels like she's helping me too? It's never any trouble helping her with the snow removal, it never takes more than half an hour

 

Basically what the title says, what made you choose the culinary/food service industry? Why is this what you chose to do?

 

This industry is brutal. I'm tearing my body apart for $16 an hour just continuously reminding myself that I'm learning a lot and this isn't forever, but man is it kicking my ass. What do you all do to unwind? Is booze/weed really all there is to help you chill out at the end of the day?
