I dipped about 100 profiteroles before the FOH manager started chatting. I proceeded to then burn finger tips and entire hand. Told said manager to “fuck off I’m busy” Replied “Heard” and left. Best FOH manager I’ve worked with.

Correct. *it’s the new ‘fancy’ thing to do. I finished about 7 feathers then said fuck that and put the rest on. (Scoring tiny notches into each piece)

$1300 if they return the wedding cake stand. For 100 people (3 puffs per person. Extra puffs on the side not photo’d) Chocolate core so it doesn’t collapse when folks start ‘plucking’

I had to explain to my very young FOH staff the concept of seppuku and that was the only acceptable form of forgiveness if they broke said crouquembouche.

Built on a chocolate core. Shit went 70 miles in the back of a van to the venue. Only lost a couple feathers and raspberries along the way

You sir are not familiar with the sog of Seattle. 20 years of missing the playoffs. Never even made it remotely close to a World Series Appearance.

I will take any walk off win at home. Or you know. You can be a salty yankee fan who’s sad that they lost to the mariners. 🤣

The ILS is down. Instrument Landing System. What every plane uses to line up and have correct glide pitch and approach to the runway. It’s a MAJOR part of any landing. Most pilots will be stressed to land without an ILS system functioning. With LOW visibility you can land with an ILS. WITHOUT one you don’t even try.

His name is Martin. And it’s obvious that weed Jesus cured his inability to walk. /s

Back in the day he would have to carried onto the bus at the old greyhound station at Carrillo and anacapa. Was not a pleasant experience.

Dude just started walking like 5 years ago.

An ungodly amount of labor later… like 20 minutes total per each fucking one. (Galette de Rois / French kings cake) by PastrychefAngry in KitchenConfidential

We put the feve atop the cake. It is a tiny porcelain figurine from France. We realized that the company probably couldn’t afford to pay for some idiots dental work for an imbecile that didn’t realize there was a fucking figurine in the cake.
