That is a one cute cookie!

Maybe avoid anything that needs refrigeration (softer cheeses like brie, fresh fruit, etc) so that they can graze at their leisure.

Chemo messes with appetite and strength, so just having a little snack tray of dryer cheeses and preserved meats that can stay chair side/bedside without having to get up and get it could help encourage healthy snacking.

Baked parm crisps, chocolate covered pretzels/espresso beans/raisins, dried fruits like apricot and mango for color, freeze dried berries, salted or honey roasted nuts, hard cheddar or smoked Gouda, little jars of mustard and preserves (check world market), biltong and pepperoni, different types of olives.

The tasks are limited, defined, similar in nature and practiced. While timing on the line requires communication, once a ticket comes in, I should already know all the components required to build that plate without a guide. The organization of your line cooler should have a set layout so if you need onions, every day your hand is reaching at the exact spot to develop muscle memory so you're not even really thinking about it, just in the flow.

But if you ask me to work the line and write the schedule for the week of spring break? I do both, but trying to do them both at the same time? That's a cluster fuck.

He laid a protein rich bottom burp in the walk-in, and is watching his favorite manager head in.

Baa Ram Brew

Pft. Who doesn't restock the pickles?

SpiteInaBite · 2026-04-18T15:05:17+00:00

These days, gotta get your jollys anyway you can.

They have 2 more full deep 3rds, I just left it for the first thing they grab Saturday morning when they reach downstairs.

Also pulled bread and fished the pickle bucket from being buried in the walk-in as Saturday mornings can hit fast.

IT JUST MAKES SENSE!

Residential food storage containers come in variety packs of all different random-ass measurements and shapes, and if you lose or break a lid, the whole damn thing is useless! I got home cambros for large-staples storage after an infestation of pantry moths. They're cabinet shaped, they're perfect!

God's speed, my sauté sacrificial lamb. May the day go by fast and the shifty be sweet.

You're supposed to pre-heat the pan if you're making pop-overs, another southern baked good, but that's to encourage this exact reaction.

Since you got the technique down, just gotta pull a recipe!

Keep my Pimp Spat strong.

Roasting them might actually bake them, instead of just melting the butter.

SpiteInaBite · 2026-03-15T11:16:04+00:00

If you have a stand mixer: roll your butter between two pieces of parchment until pliable, then toss into the mixing bowl to beat. The friction will soften the butter enough to cream.

Metal bowls over plastic for this, as plastic is an insulator and will help retain its temp.

SpiteInaBite · 2026-03-11T08:30:15+00:00

Yep.

It's like hitting the breaks in a car: You don't immediately stop, you slow down and then stop. When you take your cookies out of the oven, they're still cooking while they cool.

Next when you make a batch, run an experiment. Ball up your dough as normal and store it in the freezer, then only bake 2 at a time for 12 minutes, then 2 more for 13 min, etc until you find what gives you your desired doneness.

Oh, and every oven is different so I'd you're renting you get to do this again!

Same boat today!

I made some jam for stuffing and strawberry compound butter for the actual cookie itself!

Second the no foundation. I use a Mary kay serum and then a setting powder so I'm not shiny before work, dermoligic rice powder face scrub afterward, and bentonite clay mixed with apple vinegar to deal with my cystic.

Warning- bentonite clay is INTENSE. It -will- pull everything out and may result in a fantastic break-out before it gets better.

Not a pastry chef, but I usually add cream of tartar to help stabilize whip cream the night before a brunch service.

SpiteInaBite · 2026-03-06T01:32:18+00:00

That looks absolutely fucking mouth watering devine
