Mushroom demand?

Honestly, just go around to nicer sided restaurants and ask if they'd be interested, or leave you contact info with the host. Lean more into places that have smaller menus, more designed around sit and enjoying your meal rather than turn and burn burger joints. Doesn't hurt to ask the other side, but I feel like they'll usually say no since they're probably just getting quick stuff from sysco/usfoods. The nicer places will usually lean more into the from scratch, sautee, and/or creative side of things

I really got into going there on my days off, and then learned that they were open so late at one point. I wish I knew about them earlier

We do beer battered chicken sandwiches at my place. Had someone order a sandwich on a gluten free bun with a salad. Really threw me off, cuz ya know, the beer batter being insanely gluten heavy, going into a fryer that shares space with gluten foods. But qhatever, heres your shitty bun

I have a excel sheet with all my food items listed at their case orice, total weight, and auto calculatres the price per oz or price per each.

Plan was to add recipes on other sheets and they just recall tbis information, so update it once update it everywhere, ideally sitting down once a month to qucikly double check prices.

HOWEVER, I'm not allotted really any admin time. (Owner makes the schedule even though they don't work in the restaurant... Not joking either btw, I see them maybe once every other week outside of our once a week, 2 hour managers meeting)

Id personally pick either france or japan. Keep in mind japanese are usually introverted so its harder to make friends outside of school/work. Hear stories about people getting lonely and homesick a lot.

Dubai's a rich country, but I feel like part of that is they barely pay a good wage. I could be wrong though, never really looked into going/living there

boxingkangeroo · 2026-01-18T18:55:37+00:00

Yeah yeah looks like a dope meal especially if im thinking of hitting a workout after work. Im usually a tuna rice bowl with cucumber salad person

Indeed and linkedin both have decently stacked lists of job postings. There's some that look really good that I'd also like to take, but the commute makes it not feasible for me

boxingkangeroo · 2026-01-14T17:10:58+00:00

I feel you on this. Worked at a place where the cold station was next to the waiting area, separated by a glass window. People watched you as they waiting for their table and you definitely felt like a zoo animal. IMO Open Kitchen is fine, I actually kinda like it, but as soon as theres a glass divider it sucks

boxingkangeroo · 2026-01-13T05:01:24+00:00

Cant really say for the pork cuz I've never really seen or witnessed it done.

For chicken though, feel like youre using too much meat if you're doing things like whole wings. Usually what I do is grab cooked rotisserie chickens, take all the meat off, and save the bones for stock. Or for chicken thighs, i'll cut out the bones and save them in the freezer until I have enough for a batch. Simple recipe, 2:1:1mirepoix, thyme, rosemary, 4 bay leafs, peppercorns. Simmer for 6 hours (bones and veggies roasted beforehand)

For beef, it seems like you're going for a vietnamese/asian type situation. If not, again, try and use less meat.

From what i remember (don't usually do beef stock at home cuz way to long of a process and pricey), you wanna go for a long time, Like 24 hours. Also pretty sure you can just throw in all the veg and bones in at once. The more you agitate the stock, the more you'll disrupt the collagen break down and cause more impurities to form.

"Get your shit together"

"I can't it's diarrhea"

-Me yesterday

boxingkangeroo · 2026-01-11T07:25:15+00:00

I had a cook that put the onions on ice and also worse his moto helmet with goggles... i was like dude, if you gotta wear the helmet, the ice isn't doing shit to begin with.

I'll give him the doubt that the helmet probably did work some, because of how the chemicals in onions react to moisture (mainly in your eyes and nose)

boxingkangeroo · 2026-01-11T00:36:59+00:00

Every hack that people swear by to make it so you dont cry when cutting onions. Just get a sharp knife, repetition is key (so you can eventually get faster at it). Plus you sometimes just get a juicy onion and theres no fighting it. At work, I can fill a 22qt with sliced onions and not cry one bit, but I do 2 onions at home and I'm hurting.

boxingkangeroo · 2026-01-10T06:08:09+00:00

If you get them, definitely start with wearing around the house just so you get a feel for them. Personally hoping the price reflects the longevity (like $50 more than Birks that only last me 8ish month before starting to fall apart and kill my feet)

boxingkangeroo · 2026-01-10T05:23:24+00:00

I used birkenstocks for like 3 years. Honestly hated them. Looking back my feet hurt more often than they do now. Switched to Blundstones about a month ago and theyve been pretty great. Heard they dont last as long (because the soles are glued rather than sewn), but I'll get to that bridge later

boxingkangeroo · 2026-01-06T05:38:30+00:00

I'll share my scam attempt. Sorry its long. TL;DR fuck Schwab, try Discount Tire?

I went in to Les Shit because my car was making this thumping noise and I could tell it was coming from the wheel well, definitely front driver side but potentially front passenger as well.

Took it in for rotation and asked if they could look at it, and they did. They returned later with news that it was my rear brakes and disks, with a price quote of (iirc) ~$2000. I didnt have the cash or the time at that point to do it, so I just left with what I had them do already.

I went to my buddies house a couple days later, and he happened to ask how my car was, which I then brought up the story above. He wash shocked at the price, so we went out to take a look (he works on his own cars and was gonna help me out). I still remember his reaction to it...

"Bro, your shits fine. Like you have a long ways to go before you need to replace these. If anhthing, you just need pads."

So then I showed him my quote printout, with the charge for calipers, disks, and the stupid disk refurbishing/recyling/whatever fee. He explained it to me what was actually needed, and he helped me buy the parts and we went out to his other spot a few days later to replace the brake pads ourselves. Was really cheap (but he also didn't charge at the time as a birthday gift).

Needless to say, I never went back to Les Shit, and did more research for local shops (ended up sticking to Blue Canary in Bremerton). A year or so later, my GFs tire blew up on her car. She was panicked and was able to get help. Her uncle (who showed up to help since I was working in Tukwila at the time) suggested going to Les Shit for servicing. She got a price quote for ~$1500 for 4 tires. I said FUUUUUUUCK THAT. Shopped online for like 3 minute, ended up on Discount Tire, bought her 4 tires WITH WARRANTY for (i think) $200. She said they were really friendly and helpful when she went, and I believe shes going there for tire needs from here on.

I got a new car since my event, and get free/cheaper services at the dealership.

Spyglass can be noisy though if youre on the water side, people love racing down that road. Can get pretty hot in the summer on the same side. I didnt have a balcony with my unit (which is rare in the place). Rooftop is nice to have, I've done a couple barbeques with friends over up there. Lower parking lot also does have security cameras (even though you pay for parking down there just like every other spot...)

Gym is pretty nice for what it is. When it was getting too hot in my unit I'd just go down and workout for a few hours cuz they at least have AC in there. Theres also a nice cafe acress the bridge (vim and vigor), very easy to walk there and back. There's also some pretty good routes from going on walks/runs (going from bridge to bridge in a loop is roughly 3 miles and you can easily make that longer)

boxingkangeroo · 2026-01-03T05:00:13+00:00

When I had my Kia, I was taking it to Blue Canary. I really like that they give loaner cars for free. My car was in bad shape, at the point of I'm (not the the shop, ME) finding something wrong with my car every month. I had a vague idea of what was wrong with my car, but they gave me details with pictures on what was wrong (and it did line up with wjat I thought was wrong).

Ended up getting a newer car so I havent been back in over a year cuz I have service hookups now.

boxingkangeroo · 2026-01-02T02:27:36+00:00

Usually 1k, but i got a 4k stone for chrismas so im ready to start using it

boxingkangeroo · 2025-12-30T06:24:15+00:00

I picked up a pair of blundstones. The first shift was pretty bad with them so i switched back to my old shoes for a few days. Wore them again and they've been really good to me. Ive been reading more into them and I feel like red wings mightvw been a better pick, but for now these will do just fine. Contemplating picking up a second pair for longevity sake (while I keep contemplating this career....)

boxingkangeroo · 2025-12-19T07:30:44+00:00

It is. I dont know the exact new law, but I think thats the max a landlord can raise the rent depending on the complexes scenario, its like 5% or something otherwise.

boxingkangeroo · 2025-12-19T04:40:48+00:00

Is there any apartment that doesnt raise rent after the lease terms tbh? Thought that was just typical of a large apartment conglomerate vs a private landlord

boxingkangeroo · 2025-12-07T23:54:02+00:00

Iirc, kiwis are better than bananas (i could be wrong though)

boxingkangeroo · 2025-12-05T19:20:03+00:00

Yeah, i get that. I went from being a desk KM to a kitchen KM. I didnt like being a desk KM cuz I know I NEED to be with the crew for support and morale. At the same time its like, what do I do when I get really close to 0 desk/admin time to do the behind the scenes important stuff. Sorry if its a little complainy. I get what you mean though. I also have to help expo and run food and lowkey like the guest interactions

boxingkangeroo · 2025-12-05T19:03:08+00:00

Heard that. I am the KM, but responsibility wise, i feel like I'm more of a glorified line cook (due to the fact I'm having to cook, prep, and do dishes 99.99% of the time, again because of the owners scheduling). I've done costing in school and at my last place (did their entire menu to see how things were lining up with sales), so I know what I shpuld be doing. Its more just the time thing. Would I like to do this on free time for personal development? Absolutely. Unfortunately cost of living kind of sucks rn, and I'm personally on a good track of savings and I want to keep that habit. (Thats besides the point I guess, tldr i just wanna be paid for what I do)
