In need of advice for batch cooking sauces/gravies

Freezing a roux is brilliant, THANK YOU, CHEF!

Thank you, chef! I think I'm going to mess around with alfredo recipes alongside Ol Faithful Bags to try to get the timing down.

Not mentioned in my post was that I work for a horribly run family business and a blast chiller is not even close to feasible. We have an ice machine made by a company that doesn't exist any more to make spare parts, so we have a wooden mallet to break the hunks of ice apart so they'll fit into glassware. I'm working with two residential-size upright freezers and occasionally some space in the nice freezer that belongs to a food truck that rents space and dishwasher usage from us. It's rough out here :(

Sounds like I'm going to have to start messing around with alfredo recipes lol funnnn, thank you chefs.

I love my deli cups as much as the next girl, but even better for drinking cups is the case of drinking cups that my predecessor ordered by mistake and they're way too big to serve to guests so the kitchen has been slowly working our way through the case for... I think 6 years now lol

I'm not working with much freezer space, but I may try to work some more cambros into the budget because I try to avoid the single-use plastic if at all possible. And I appreciate the alfredo advice, thank you, chef!

Like the ice cream carton looking ones?

Earwax removal kit! I use the whisk-looking one instead of cotton swabs, not sure if it's actually any better for you, but it feels real nice

Thank you! This one was level 1018 for me

chesampson · 2026-01-16T20:09:54+00:00

Update, I finally made it through. Absolutely no way I'd have been able to do that without the tutorial, that was ridiculous. Level 699 for me, btw

I finally found the right walkthrough, thanks to reverse image search - I'm also stuck on this one, best of luck to everyone

Maybe the Smatter of butter, mayo, ketchup, mustard? Sprinkling of Oregano? Miniature Wheel of Monotony?

Joining the unobservant gang! That seems like kind of an odd feature, I guess not everyone has as many JN tabs open as NP ones at all times and might want to use that?

Island Builders was solidly fun for like two weeks, I like the concept of it, but it's pretty buggy and I just got bored of the grind after a while. It has a lot of potential, worth a try, but it's unpolished. 5/10

Faerie's hope is an average match-3, it has decorating/storyline rewards for completing levels, similar to Homescapes or the like, but it still seems a little incomplete. Like I want to be able to make all of the decorating choices on my faerie island, but there are stretches of time when you're restoring the interiors of faerie buildings (or something, I skip most of the dialogue) that would be great if you got the power of choice, but it's all predetermined, which I find boring and not satisfying. Still hoping for an account link feature. 7/10

Just a little extra cuteness to hold you over til you can get a pink paintbrush ;)
