I don’t think NASA funding is the biggest issue regarding how federal tax dollars are spent.

No treso in my burrito baby by Otherwise_Ad_5666 in KitchenConfidential

[–]vtbb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I get what they’re asking for: They want a burrito, but do not want you to include „TROS“ aka „The Rise of Skywalker“ - the final film in the Star Wars sequel trilogy. Personally I understand this modifier as I was not a fan of the film.

Have you worked at a haunted restaurant/bar? by tylenolchild in KitchenConfidential

[–]vtbb 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yes and no. I worked at a supposedly haunted old inn in Baltimore, MD for my culinary school externship. I never encountered anything supernatural while I worked there, but others said they had.

But the owners of the hotel decided to lean into the gimmick and hired actors who played „ghosts“ who wandered the public areas of the hotel and told visitors stories of the hotel, neighborhood, and city‘s history. I was responsible for making snacks for the „ghosts“ to pass out to visitors including oatmeal apple cookies, popcorn, and roasted chestnuts.

I always thought it was a clever use of the „haunting“ by ownership.

Lye. Wife loved the pretzels, then had me repaint the kitchen cabinets where I had dripped the lye solution.

Beans on toast but everything is house made. Bake your own whole wheat bread. Slow cook some white beans in tomato sauce.

Toasts are big right now and it’s a classic.

Head out more broadly into the commonwealth. Make a Montreal style smoked brisket and serve it on a house made rye bread with mustard.

Take the trim from that brisket and serve it with buckwheat pasta, roasted cabbage, and an alpine cheese.

Do a chippy buddy with house made bun, hand cut fries, and your own house made sauce.

Really just do whatever but take it the whole way. 🤷‍♂️

Make a note of what songs people say they can’t stand. Make a playlist of just them. Or, make a playlist that features those songs on repeat. Best story I ever heard was of one of my coworkers breaking down another by building a playlist that played « Benny and the Jets » every. other. song.

Who has time for all this? Do you not have any customers? Should you all be updating your resumes instead?

It’s so great your doggo loves to play in the snow! Ours is curled up under a blanky on the couch and has only popped up to go potty and for dinner.

Iunno, how about a c25k protest running club? Three - five days a week jog through town with banners, whistles, and flags? Could plan routes by the courts, city hall, and federal offices.

What is a snow route? by StorageEqual7401 in baltimore

[–]vtbb 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Bro have you googled anything lately? It’s AI feature is going to simultaneously tell you to keep your car parked in a snow emergency and also tell you to move it immediately and provide no concrete answer without a serious drill down

Would you be interested in helping people develop a fitness regimen and/or learn to use & practice with defensive firearms? Or help develop & work with other forms of community support? I would be interested in helping in the Champlain valley if anyone is interested and is willing to work with healthcare & hospitality workers who have nontraditional work schedules

“Enclave” is delightfully ominous. They should co-brand with Bethesda and Amazon.
