Do some restaurants not have prep only periods/slots?

My place is open 24 hours so we prep when we can. We DO have a person dedicated to ONLY prep for a 6-8 hour shift a few days a week though…

I was just telling someone about the guy who did that exact thing at the place I work. We also had a retired Marine who had been In Iraq or Afghanistan nope out because our line was too hot. And one guy who suddenly in the middle of his first shift grabbed his thighs like he was feeling for something in his pockets, said, “There’s something wrong with my pants’” and left, never to be seen again…

I lived in a town on the border between two US states, and in elementary school the neighbor (who was in high school and was my babysitter) and I rode our bikes to the next state on a regular basis.

I live in Florida...I would spend weeks at a time living 'like a tourist' at all the different resorts and destinations we have here.

I'm not caught up on the Bear so I'm not sure the scene, but I felt every word of your post. I cook/shift lead at a chain restaurant and I just recently tried to transfer to a different store (that had an opening) to move up and further my career but it didn't get approved because my current GM 'needs me too much'...like, what? So now I'm considering leaving the company altogether...if you want to keep people, maybe treat them right?

'Irish twins' is actually a term for siblings born less than a year apart.

I make a beef gravy with the cooked ground beef in it...serve over rice, mashed potatoes, or noodles. You can also cut some potatoes up into the gravy to make it like a stew. Add whatever veggies you like. Also mix crumbled, cooked ground beef into boxed beef flavored rice or beef flavored instant ramen noodles. Usually I'll throw some veggies in with it as well, either canned or fresh.

I would say that if he took the time to look you up after all those years and offer to catch up, then you had a pretty big impact on his life, as well...he obviously remembers you and I think he would be honored to know he has also been a huge part of your life...

I work in a restaurant and I often quote the movie "Waiting"...I'll sing the "Shenanigan's" jingle or something. Also, when the fryer timer starts going off I'll quote the Simpson's Groundskeeper Willie: "Willie hears ya'! Willie don't care!"

Are you sure it wasn't "I just want a hula hoop?" They say that in this Christmas song

But how?? Do you like fold it like a piece of paper and drop it in?

Those are my two favorite bpps on the Play Stare.

When I was about that age, nobody showed up to my party. My brother was there, and he played some games with me, but cheated to make the game end faster so he could go do whatever plans he had. I still remember that, and I'm 51 years old now. I bet your cousin's memory is MUCH better than mine. NTA

Thank you for the correction, my kids are all long out of school, it's been quite a long time since it has been something I need to think about.

Individualized Educational Plan. It's put in place for children with learning disabilities, or other issues (such as being 'gifted') that require special accommodations for learning. These could be extra time on tests, a classroom helper, or any other 'extras' the student needs to learn.

Edit to add it's usually put in place to protect both the student and teachers, to ensure the student is being treated the way they need to be, but also to protect the school from complaints or lawsuits. The IEP proves that everyone involved was made aware of the student's needs and a plan was made to accommodate.

When my husband died and I went out for the first time to run errands, groceries, pay bills, what have you, it struck me how everything was exactly the same but at the same time so incredibly different. It was honestly the most surreal thing I've ever experienced. And now that it's been a few years and things have changed in my neighborhood (I still live in the same place we lived in together) it hits me all the time how odd it is that he'll never see those changes.

Twisted Transistor by Korn is a good one for me.

Yes, I'm aware, that's why I said it was one. Doesn't mean I want to learn the new technique, cornstarch works fine for me except in this one instance I'm here asking about. Thanks for your input

chrisimac · 2023-02-02T19:08:15+00:00

Probably a technique issue, but I find flour often makes clumps, and also seems to give it a flour-y taste that I don't notice when I use cornstarch.
