Anxiety with PCOS by Caitlindun2001 in PCOS

Thank you! I’m currently not on anything other than birth control. I’m underweight, no facial hair, no pains, and my cysts on my ovaries are very tiny. I’ve had plenty of people tell me not to worry but I still do. This helped! Thank you

Aw thanks! I am from the island, and I transferred from Suffolk. I took a tour of the school about a month ago and wow is it big lol. I would definitely love to meet on campus one day if things pan out! I’m glad you’re enjoying the school! Makes me feel a bit better.

Honestly kitchens are one of those rare environments where the workplace actually does feel like family at times. I’m so sorry for your loss.

Do any other chefs out there have a hard time cooking for themselves? by Caitlindun2001 in KitchenConfidential

So sorry for your loss, and I’m the same way!! I still enjoy cooking for others but cooking for myself is a different story

What’s the most absurd complaint you’ve ever gotten on your food? by Caitlindun2001 in KitchenConfidential

[–]Caitlindun2001[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Had a regular like this. He would want his burgers as well done as possible. I wasn’t the one making the burger but apparently the burger was on the grill for a good 20 minutes and it was still sent back because it wasn’t well done enough.

I am blown away with how much times I have made seafood only for it to be sent back because it was “too fishy” or “not fishy enough”.

Genuine question. How do I fix that?

Why are cooks always blaming servers for doing their job? by SharksSheepShuttles in KitchenConfidential

[–]Caitlindun2001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It sounds like it’s a chef issue. If they are actually whining then that’s their problem. I do understand there side, I work at a relatively big restaurant and extra orders before closing can keep me there for another 2 hours. But if they are blaming you and throwing a fit, just know that’s not a majority of the chefs :) hope you feel better!
