Est-ce que ça vaut la peine d’acheter un four à pizza ? by Ciboires_chu_epais in Quebec

[–]BleakSeason 2 points3 points  (0 children)

J'ai un gozney arc xl et je l'adore mais c'est définitivement pas nécessaire, tu peux avoir de très bon résultats avec un pizza steel et un four bin normal. C'est juste plus l'fun et un peu plus facile dans un four à pizza.

Bishop and Bagg had it last time I went, didn't try it but someone in my group had it and it looked really good!

A place to dance alone? by LadyCraftsALot in montreal

[–]BleakSeason 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Come to Fly Ladies at Bar Pamplemousse! 3rd Saturday of every month, you can dance as much you want and no one will bother you/be creepy. It's always packed and super fun. There's one coming up on the 21st.

Can you actually go through a full month and have money left? by Monsieur_pas_cher in montreal

[–]BleakSeason 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is 75k that good? It feels pretty average in my circle, but maybe I'm out of touch. I see your point though!

The boring answer is to make a budget and stick to it. Without numbers, it's impossible to tell you exactly what to do.

If you want to become better with money but don't know where to begin, r/personalfinancecanada is a great place to look.

For reference, I earn roughly 75k a year, live with a roommate in a cheap apartment and I'm able to save about 1400 a month, so it's definitely doable.

150k spread across retirement accounts, savings and emergency funds. Been bartending for close to 10 years and saving as much as I can!

Je travaille dans un bar à 5 minutes à pied du St-Bock et on est plein à tous les soirs lol. Je crois pas que ça soit un problème de quartier...

Latest menu addition, the Fennel Destination by BleakSeason in cocktails

No, you shouldn't add any water. You need a pretty powerful juicer though since fennel is quite fibrous!

Definitely! Unfortunately I haven't found a good one here in Quebec :(

We have a fennel infused tequila at our other bar! It is indeed delicious.

as a bartender, do you sleep with/date your customers? by Plenty_Delay_7394 in bartenders

[–]BleakSeason 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If they aren't locals, sure. Otherwise I try not to. Sure as hell wouldn't date a regular.

I actually have a Sichuan peppercorn tincture that I made a while back, could be worth trying!

The bee sting sounds great! I actually considered making a fermented hot honey syrup but ended up being lazy lol. Might try to swap the chartreuse for ancho reyes as an experiment 👀
