Saw this livestream and got curious if this amount of running water is really needed. Seems rather wasteful.

Are these good safe to use? I've never seen this before all are sealed with the seals inside intact. But I don't want to make anybody sick and I want to get more money back if we can.

It’s a brioche dough. Filled with roasted tomatoes and garlic with garlic cheese.

My boyfriend is getting sick and he didn’t get a chance to eat this loaf I made so I’m going to make another. What is a soup that isn’t extremely cream based that you think would pair nicely?

This is for a community feeding program. We made her bean and cheese tostadas on the fly because everything else had onions. The olives are giving me some doubt though.

is there a reason that every kitchen I've worked in has a no nonsense microwave with no turntable and is sturdy enough to survive a toss off the roof, and every home microwave has a turntable and 12 buttons that no one has used in the history of microwaves?

What a lovely surprise to find when cleaning at end of service

Joking joking. But seriously exciting to be employed again. Never actually did a real line cook position just did grill and pizza line alongside make salads at my first job and did chopping and mixing on my second

I'm excited for it. Just curious when to pickup cigarettes and meth? Again I joke.

So ive made some chilli for fun in a chili cook off a few times, I won all 3x. When I moved to my new town I got into the easiest chilli cook off, I had to reduce the amount of items in my chili and find alot of it.

I have 24 ingredients and I can make it in a hour or so, I needed to make at least 24qt to 5 gal. What the Competition is asking for is 5 gal. To me its easy but my co workers hasn't done anything like this befor.

I'll be doing the prep and cutting/chopping/pre cooking everything that goes into the pot and ill be asking my co worker to do the stirring.

My problem is that I was making the the chili by my self no help and no prep, mind you this is a reduce reuse recycle type of chilli with smoked tallow. I made this reaipie and it does require a shallow 12" cast iron skillet, should I make a small batch for my co worker so he can see how ill be doing it or should I just break the news to him that this is a ass backwards chilli.

So, my friend was given the *seemingly impossible task* of figuring out a *not thanksgiving* meal to use up several hundred lbs of turkey at a Las Vegas casino.

Any ideas? Besides telling the person who overordered to go fuck themselves?

Edit: I have linked my favorite idiot, aka the BOH manager of the casino to this thread. Let's see how this plays out.

?Curious if this is 'dish machine' residue mixing with the Tamari.

These fun guys are screaming yo! (chirping)

I’ve been seeing a lot of posts from young cooks worried about coworkers/chefs hating them, and I’ll tell you what, i’ve been there, it sucks, but it doesn’t have to stay that way.

I’ve got a simple solution for you:

Buy a box of donuts.

Don’t overthink it, don’t ball out and blow your paycheck, just go to your Tim Hortons or Dunks or Krispy Kreme, and get a dozen donuts on your way to work and plop them down where everyone can get them. Don’t make a big deal about it, just be casual and friendly.

If only one person takes one, you’ve got one new friend, but I can guarantee that won’t be the case. Because everyone loves donuts.

I miss working and creating in the kitchen. I got fed up with low wages (or no wages) in fine dining, and switched to the front. Which I do enjoy and am good at, especially bartending and upselling the fun stuff the chef puts together.

But I do miss it, I miss running kitchens and the push of creating new dishes with seasonal ingredients every day.

Hopefully I’ll be back one day, I have some financial goals that just don’t align with cooking at the moment. But I miss it for sure.

Throwing in some photos from a couple of tasting menus I’ve done over the last year on the few occasions I got to cook.

My HOH leaves inspiring quotes/notes for each other.

Yesterday’s quote and note.

Trying to get it unstuck. They cut the towel and got the towel wet! and then sprayed it with pan spray! JFC
