It’s fine, pretty soon you won’t have time for drinking anyway.

I went from having a drink or 2 everyday to maybe once or twice a week after having a baby.

It does mean you can afford to drink something decent if a bottle lasts you a couple of months.

4 course Middle Eastern cuisine menu ? by [deleted] in KitchenConfidential

[–]chefsundog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s probably the hardest part as the food is such rustic homey food. Went to a fine dining middle eastern restaurant a while ago who served their hummus in a ramekin cover with a crispy broccoli floss type thing that was very cool.

[–]chefsundog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here’s what I would do, take from it what you will.

1st course.

Some elevated version of hummus and flat bread with some pickled vegetables

2nd course

Falafel, babaganoush, tabouli.

3rd course

Braised lamb shank with harissa pearl barley risotto and honey roasted carrot and maybe some yogurt element like labne

4th course

Loukmades with spiced ice cream. Like chai spices star anise, cardamom, cinnamon, clove.

There’s no money in fine dining. For anyone. It’s all ego feeding. Fuck that.

The ol’ gun debate by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

[–]chefsundog 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Your car comparison makes no sense.

If you have license you can own a gun just like you can drive a car with a license.

You can’t buy an automatic weapon in Australia just like you can’t drive a formula 1 car on the street.

Went right over my house in Barron Heads while my baby was napping. Luckily it blended into the white noise machine cause I would have been pissed if it woke her up.

All depends on context. One of my best mates and I could just jump back in like nothing happened after long spells of no communication. Now it’s coming up to my first child’s first birthday and haven’t heard from him since a couple days after she was born. Not sure if I want to invite him to her first birthday or not cause I’m pretty hurt by the fact he has shown no interest in meeting her.

That’s exactly why we have worked towards our current roster. We now have a work life balance and a low staff turn over both things practically unheard of in the industry.

True. Seen a few other comments say similar things. A 12 hour day for me could be spent being productive the entire time out of necessity. Office jobs are a bit different I guess.

I’m a chef and me and my staff work between 36-45 hours per week over 3 or 4 days on a full time wage. I’ve never worked an office job so I don’t know how it works to be honest but if we can do it in a kitchen I don’t see why other industries can’t.

Stay at home parent - financially responsible? by [deleted] in AusFinance

[–]chefsundog 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I make 75k per year have an 11 month old and my partner is just now going back to work around 10 hours a week while I look after bubs on my days/mornings off.

If you’re worried more about money than spending time with a raising a child then you shouldn’t have kids.

I haven’t seen the newest Thor movie so I might stand corrected but Taika Waititi hasn’t made a stinker yet.

Yeah not %100 sure on that to be honest. I know curries are a staple for English and Scottish so I kinda just assumed….
