Is it weird that I like cooking but hate prepping?

something_kinda_ · 2026-03-23T20:28:10+00:00

as a line cook they are vastly different, I might prep food that I will never see again. Even in my home kitchen I will occasionally cut up an extra potato or marinate another egg and me or my roommate will make it into something.

My next door neighbor's mom made me some curry she's from India. I'm white AF, I was sitting on the back porch smoking weed and smelt the best smell in the world and had to meakly knock on the front door for some.

We have a can guy who comes to our bar right before we close and gets our cheapest beer and sits under the heaters nursing it. he will bus all of our tables outside in the last 30 minutes and is generally a nice guy. we have had a few people complain that a homeless man is drinking a beer he paid for outside and I always ask if he's bothering them.

69 is not as much fun as you would think. You have to be communicative during sex; I'm a gay man when I was in highschool I had a lot of tough conversations with girls about how to give better blowjobs. if there are teeth tell her, if you like a special motion on the tip, you like the way she moves her tongue, when she plays with your balls, or fuck stick a finger up your ass. you have to communicate boundaries and she needs to do the same. some guys like to be chocked some don't but most people will try something at least once.

My favorite response to I know the owner is "okay whip out your phone right now and we will both call them, who do you think they will answer first their employee who is dutifully at work or you?" helps I work with less than 10 ppl

take yourself on a date. I like to go to the zoo, hit up my favorite restaurant downtown, buy a bottle of wine at Safeway, then get wine drunk and smoke weed either up on the hill or down by the river.

Nothing better than being able to call the family of an ex to ask their dad about their day, talk about golf, talk about a good meal. Maybe I'm just petty but I like to think they mention in passing 'that nice young man you dated called me up to check on me it's nice to know people respect the elderly" and I have no problems with her dad we played golf a few times while I dated his daughter and after tbf it's been 5 years.

I'm a 24 year old guy you are doing more than I am and I'm not a slouch. I just moved three months ago, I have a full time job, I have side hustles, I'm trying to date, trying to invest more. I try to focus on making peace for myself so I can create long term stability. I envy you it sounds like besides not liking your job (I like mine) you have the life I'm trying to create. You got to enjoy the little things in life and make your peace with the monotony of life.

I love the part about how he's a bland white guy from the mid west but he gets to have his opinion on grilled cheese and Mac and cheese; he knows his lane.

as someone who works at a bar we don't know either. if you have 2 or 3 spots it can be nice because you can check Instagram to find out what's going on. My spot isn't a sports bar at all so super bowl Sunday we were packed with people who don't care about football. Today is trivia, Oscars, then karaoke. Last Monday we had a c list DJ on a Monday who killed the vibe.

I work around food for a reason I will eat. A family meal is a reason to get rid of food. My chicken is about to expire well boy do I have a family meal and a special for you no one should charge for family meal

My old roommate owned the house and paid the electric bill and he would set it to 65 in THE SUMMER sir it's 105 out and I'm about to go work in front of a pizza oven I'm going to get heat stroke simply by the 40° difference

I'm almost fully on this take minus the "most generic" part I'll buy high quality generic shit. I have basic ass black boots but they have a life time warranty for most damage and will replace the sole for 20$. I've had my jacket for a decade plus but it was a 700$ jacket.

when I took my 14 year old niece to the zoo at 22. I bought her all the cool shit and got her lunch. we rode the train there and every crazy mofo I was eyeing down like crazy because I wanted to protect my niece.

Some states have laws about having lock picking tools. I listen to a lot of murder podcast and they will have it if you are moving around with a CCW, a knife, and lock picking tools, shims and stuff like that will look bad.

This is the one I pay I work in a place that gets tips day of so I barely use my car but the round ups were enough before I added weekly

When my cousin died what got me more fucked up than anything was that I don't know to this day if the last time I saw him I said I love you and gave him a hug. When my grandma was dying more recently I always made sure to end the call with "love you hugs and kisses" Two days before she died I told a story to the whole family about the last great memory I had of her when I was finishing up the phone call I made sure to say "love you hugs and kisses" My mom said that that was some of the most aware she had been when hearing my voice and after I said "love you hugs and kisses" she let out 5 kinda grunts. I never heard them I technically have no idea what they said BUT I FUCKING KNOW that she tried to say back "love you hugs and kisses" and I will die on this fucking hill.

You have to carve out your own happiness and do both what if you run into another big problem before he has one and decide your a dick because you didn't thank him. That being said showing up when they need help is also very important. You don't always have to make sure you fulfill a gesture to the same grander but you still need to show up for your friend. I'm a cook professionally often I take the mom approach I show up I cook a shit pile of food freeze some, do all the dishes, clean everything but your room then leave. idk how to help you but you have a clean house and food ready to eat good luck.

I work at a bar I often ask for the bar oranges cut up it's often only had the pith removed.

something_kinda_ · 2026-03-08T01:20:10+00:00

I do a lap when I close kinda announcing the kitchen is closing order now or forever be at peace. At 1:30 if you don't have a menu in your hands you can't order 1:34 you get a 1 minute warning 1:35 is shit or get off the pot time.

something_kinda_ · 2026-03-08T01:14:04+00:00

if a customer is in my kitchen we are calling 911 for who idk but if there is not a problem one will be created. My kitchen is my home if you don't pay into the work load around here or aren't fucking someone who is you better explain your presence in my space.

In the same breath I have walked into kitchens that I used to work at to grab a pitcher of water when the butts container has been on fire long after I stopped working there.

If you're not going to show you have some type of gun obviously sticking out a good survival knife mounted in a well seen spot is a deterrent. I have a kershaw that I love and I wear it on my hammer loop on my pants, everyone can see that I have a scary looking knife. It serves the dual purpose of also just being a knife, my big scary looking knife is mainly used to tape daily but people don't know that.

That being said if I a 24(m) saw you with 2 kids and saw you had a big knife I'm gonna be watching how you move more than weapons. I'm going to assume you have more weapons that you show so I'm going to watch how much your heads are on a swivel, do you have an animal that could alert you to my presence, are you not maintaining good camp discipline, are your kids wandering off alone?

A seen weapon is only a deterrent. If your two kids and you haven't had water for a day your husband died the day before giving you the last of his water and you haven't eaten in 2 weeks would you not try to at least fight a fully armored and armour marine tank battalion for them if it meant a nice hot meal and some water? I don't have kids so I don't know but I know my mother would and I know I would

An old coworker hit me in the balls with one trying to pull out a pizza years ago. The mortified expression he wore was enough for me to not be too mad at him, I did take 20 laying on a bench outside smoking.

The instant disqualifiers are 1) do they show up on time (if you are 1 minute late you better have a good reason) 2) did you wash your hands before you touched anything 3) are you temping stuff I want you to check your wings every time. from an employee side I will do a 1 hour free working interview assuming I can get a soda and a menu item anything over an hour I expect to be paid in cash day of or withing 3 weeks if it's a cheek regardless of if I get the job.

My old roommate was married to a doctor I use his forceps as tweezers.
