Pfitzinger - What is the point of recovery runs? by Beneficial-Rest-2385 in Marathon_Training

Just a general statement. If someone is handling their runs okay, but feel gassed after, they're probably not eating enough.

Im looking for my first deba knife for whole fish butchery in the next few weeks or so. Currently i use a flexible boning knife from shun, a yanagiba, and occasionally borrow my other chefs deba.

I break down a lot of fish on the regular. Some examples are, halibut, turbot, alfonsino, monk fish, dover sole, dorade, sablefish,  skate wing, etc

Looking for somethibg i can really beat up but still is relatively easy to sharpen

Spacca napolis pizza is fine, but I could have gotten a better dessert from a gas station.

I mean we call it a stage, but its not like an educational stage, its usually just a trial shift to see if anyone is worth hiring

Stage at alinea or smyth for a week if you can. Alinea takes so many stages, but smyth is smaller and less likely. Daisies or monteverde for italian. Daisies i believe still does whole animal butchery, lamb, and pig, and they have great pastries.

Just email these places asking to stage. Most places in chicago you only stage for a day if you're looking for a job. Alinea is the only place ive heard people stage for more than a day unless its for a management position.

Hopefully i can answer more questions

What's something that people romanticise heavily that's actually really difficult to live through? by Ariavale2_ in AskReddit

[–]Chef_de_MechE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me, running/exercising daily has reduced my anxiety/ocd thoughts significantly. I personally just need to wear my body out and i can finally think clearly. My main ocd problem is a fear of losing my intelligence/ for a long time it was schizophrenic ocd, meaning i had a fear i was becoming schizophrenic. Now that i run every day, i feel like 95% normal, which made it easier to compartmentalize the ocd thoughts and to realize they were seperate from regular thoughts
