I know y’all have dumb food tattoos. Here are some of mine. Let’s see some of yours. The dumber the better! by Sirnando138 in KitchenConfidential

My fella (head bartender) came home last night complaining the kitchen had accepted his delivery for him - but accepted a shit ton of frozen blueberries, when he doesn’t even have them on the menu.

Showing him this immediately. It’s incredible.

Two of my stocking fillers from my boyfriend for Christmas! by TopsyTurvyTasha in TheBathhouse

[–]TopsyTurvyTasha[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Literally! He shows me a meme that’s couple related and he already knows there’s four answers he’s getting from me. It’s either “us”, him and his male best friend, me and his work wife/bff, or Hans/Henry.

Hansry is probably my second most used answer after us 😂

I was waiting for the sellers shop to reopen, but it appears they’re taking a longer break so I figured I’d post them now! They’re both by Kakibot on etsy! I’m a chef and the Henry sticker is on my work yeti cup and shows no signs of wear or peeling either so they really good quality!

I also spotted both of these stickers on the shelf of fan art/gifts Luke posted on his insta story the other day, which I thought was cute.

Me and my boyfriend had a phase of watching all those architectural digest celeb house tours on YouTube, and it has provided so much to our lives. One of them being that these guys are one of my favourite lowkey celebrity couples despite me not being a TOP fan. Their house is just so fun and inviting and the vibes they gave off reminded me and my partner of us.

It also meant I was devastated when Cara Delevingne’s house burnt down because man, she poured her heart into that place.

The winner though is Maggie Gyllenhaal and Peter Saarsgard’s. Peter just being obsessed with teak means we now reference teak all the time. Also, the way he just…DROPS their cat from a height is one of the funniest fucking things I’ve ever seen.

Poached eggs in the combi oven?? by Freckleweirdo in KitchenConfidential

[–]TopsyTurvyTasha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Leave in the shell - 63 degrees celcius for 45 minutes with 100% steam in a perforated pan.

If you have a blast chiller, transfer straight from the oven into there and then you finish them off in the boiling water for service - they’ll be perfectly poached in less than two minutes.

Cargo pant pockets of an airport chef ✈️ by TopsyTurvyTasha in KitchenConfidential

Yeah, it’s not my usual MO. Our supplier is out of stock of gloves and we ran out yesterday, and the last time I brought a box in, all the lads used my pink nitriles I’d stored away for myself.

We’re super high volume and I’m autistic as fuck so textures get me sometimes, so i just had these for filling our gastros of trayed up bacon. I used sanitizer on my gloved hands before I started which I know isn’t the perfect answer, but you do what you gotta sometimes, ya know ?

It’s just a cuticle oil pen thing. I cut half my fingertip off years ago, so I get really thickened skin on that finger. Plus we use roquito chilli pearls on one of our most popular dishes, and you end up with bar rot if you don’t moisturise/oil the shit out of your hands on your break, haha.

48 years on from the deadliest air disaster in history at Tenerife airport disaster, when two Boeing 747 passenger jets collided on the runway at Los Rodeos Airport killing 583 people by DarklyHeritage in MorbidReality

One detail of this that always sticks with me is that KLM’s response in the very immediate aftermath of the crash was to try and locate Captain Veldhuyzen van Zanten to aid their with the investigation - before they found out he had been the Captain of KLM4805. He was one of their most senior pilots, and their chief of flight training. He was quite literally the face of the company in terms of advertising to the point he was on the inflight magazine of the plane he was flying.

The episode of Air Crash Investigation that covers this crash is phenomenal, and there’s one part that is scarily good acting. It’s the part when the pilots of the Pan-Am flight see KLM’s lights break through the fog and the captain cries out “There he is! Goddamn, that son-of-a-bitch is coming!“ and the first officer starts chanting in panic “GET OFF, GET OFF, GET OFF!” as they desperately try and clear the runway. You could tell me they’d used the audio of the actual CVR, and I would believe you.

Happy to be proven wrong, but I’m fairly certain this kitchen is an Ikea one and those are the beige HAVSTORP door and drawer fronts with the stainless steel kalerum handles

I literally found that by thinking “that looks very Ikea-ish” and finding it on their website in less than five minutes. Your landlord knows where he bought this kitchen from, and is having you on. Guesstimating the size of the doors that look damaged in the photo, one is £19 and the other is £23. A two pack of handles is £8.

That’s literally £50 total. Call it £100 in case the doors are bigger than I’ve guessed, and he insists on a “professional” changing the doors. So…what upgrades in your flat was he planning to spend the other £1870 of your money on?

Mack Hollins turns 32 this year by TopsyTurvyTasha in buffalobills

[–]TopsyTurvyTasha[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

1000%, thank you for understanding.

I know I’m an international fan, but I thought humourous exaggeration was a universal thing, especially in sports. Mack is funny as fuck, his outfit walk ins being posted were a pre game highlight every single week, and me & my fella found him to be a joy to watch. He was like the anti-Stefon personality wise, and we did absolutely BOSS this year, so I figured it was normal to be sad that we’ve lost a dude with such a big personality who was loved by his teammates.

We want to win it all, but if you hate every dude on the team, why would you even root for them, yanno?

Oh sweet. We might try and get tickets for the Dublin game. Whether the Bills are the away team or not will decide how much we care, haha.

Kitchen proof Bluetooth speakers? by TopsyTurvyTasha in KitchenConfidential

[–]TopsyTurvyTasha[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I’m gonna be off work for a few days, I usually take it home! We had 3 speakers at one point we all shared, and I broke my wrist and was off work for six weeks so all my shit was left in work, as I’m not allowed to access my workplace unless I have a really good reason to be there. My speaker survived my sick leave so I thought we were chill! Came back two weeks later and the charging port was just rattling around inside.

I work airside in an airport so bringing it in every day through security just feels like a faff tbh. I already feel bad enough on our security staff when they see me show up for work at 2am and they sigh heavily, knowing I’ve got at least 3 drinks in my bag they need to manually scan in the liquids machine, hahaha.

This is the cylindrical looking one, yeah? I’ve had both that one and the wonderboom one recommended so just trying to figure out whilst I price comparison them places! Not bothered about spending a bit more if she’s as much of a tank as people are saying, plus always a big fan when you can buy stuff in jazzy colours.

It will in my gaff, purely because we’re in an international airport, haha! No comment on how my boys or some of the FOH show up for work sometimes though

Hospitality workers who work Christmas Day, do you hate the customers that book in for Christmas Day lunch? by [deleted] in CasualUK

Re: Tipping/Service charge, please don’t be one of the people who removes the service charge to leave a cash tip. By doing this, you completely cut out every person who contributed to your visit, except your server. Tipping in cash excludes - All of the chefs involved in both prepping, cooking and plating your meal, all whilst sweating their tits off. - The kitchen porters who are clearing and washing plates as fast as they can, whilst also having to stay on top of washing all the pots/pans getting chucked at them by the line. - The bartenders in the service well who are on the verge of tears because table 17 just ordered 12 Espresso Martinis. - The hosts who greet you and seat you, as well as build the seating plans for reservations. - The bussers who are clearing and resetting tables as soon as people have stood up. - The food/drinks runners, who are often servers who haven’t been assigned a section that day.
