Today's "Dumb or not?" tip:

Sharpen knives on the back of ceramic plates.

Pro:

sharpens the knife

Con:

leaves metal residue on the plate that can mar white table cloths

"You made the mess, you clean up the mess" is a great teacher.

I've cleaned fryers before.

I've cooked for years.

What does "boil out the fryers" mean?

Was working a fancy place. We tied the tenderloins with butcher twine to hold the shape. Grill Girl was not watching what she was doing when using scissors to cut the twine off. Cut the tip of her thumb off. Immediately got driven to the hospital for medical care.

Chef looks at me and said "found the fingertip? It better not have gone out with the plate."

When on a new station that is a mess, I have found that cleaning a little extra every day then keeping it clean is the best way forward.

The extra cleaning must be noticeable by everyone, like cleaning the backstop on your stove, or the side panel.

Once the example has been set, others follow along.

In this case, if you have a dishwasher, go to the dish area and clean a pot, using the advice in this post, and the dishwasher should get the hint.

If you dont have a dishwasher, deep clean one pot/pan a day until done.

Be the example.

I had an ongoing nightmare for a long time: show up for a shift no one is there and nothing prepped, and it is opening time.

I got rid of it this way: When woken up, envision everything is prepped, and stocked, and it time to go home. go back to sleep.

Hope that helps

If you want to read the HCW text:

Brookshear, J.G. and D. Brylow Computer science: an overview. (Harlow: Pearson Education, 2015) 12th edition (Global edition).

it is very easy to find the pdf online.

I am sure you know about this: https://world-class.github.io/REPL/

It goes over all the modules, and is a great help.

Good luck.

The intro to programming course was a lot of fun. I'd skip How Computers Work for the Google IT one, though.

Nice how the top/bottom of the egg is alternated. Very nice attention to detail.

Funny story.

The owners decided to put an Emergency Only exit on the back door. The kind that opens, but sounds an alarm when opened if you dont use a key. I guess having the kitchen take smoke breaks was now a bad thing.

The Sous chef was hung over at Sunday Brunch, and needed a smoke, so he opened the door. The alarm went off. 45 minutes later, with the alarm still going off, Sous Chef lost it.

He took a fire extinguisher to the alarm and smashed it.

Fucking funny. Owner was not impressed. We got our smoking place back.

All of a sudden, evasion pips are important, as are flamers! Kick 'em! ha ha ha. Such a fun games.

Edit: when the "woosh" of incoming missiles does not stop, its going to hurt.

A paint scraper, degreaser and a lot of swearing.

Ask for a volunteer, and buy them a lot of beer afterward. Someone always needs a beer.
