So for some reason I only have 1 cookie sheet an Airbake on at that....oh well half in a cheap roasting pan half on a good cookie sheet.....just went in. I have just tasted my first bite of cauliflower...raw...Yech we shall see, at least the steak will be good even if I have to grill in the rain we will revisit this in an hour or so I went with 350 to give myself leeway and wait for the rain to stop T

In general I have had a hard time "browning" tuna ...it just turns grey and I have really only worked with roasts because what I want is brown on the outside and raw in the middle by the time you pull that out of the marinade I am betting it wont feel raw anymore though..... if it is still yucky tomorrow warm it gently in the marinade tracey

Congrats on the job ...but for those of us reading that are still under or unemployed Dont take any job where they offer to hire you during the 1st interview...never ever ever... If they dont care if you are potentially a lying sack then they dont care about alot of things and you dont want to work there onward tracey

I have been "in foodservice" for over 20 yrs but have actually never worked in a real restaurant. Delis, cafes, luncheonetts, currently corporate dining...but all of these positions have been whatever needs doing gets done by someone. My day starts making coffee and setting up breakfast service...cold stuff..then on the register till the boss shows up....try to prep soup during register time....then on the grill maybe, finish soup prep set up lunch ie deli station. Back on the register 11-12 boss runs to bank market and feeds her dog Make sandwiches grilled foods fried foods... hand food to customers 2-3 break down refill and clean deli, sweep and mop. so this concept means I would only have to deal with customers or cook or mop...not all at once sign me up i hate when the mirpoix burns

I have been working mostly in food service since 1982 and have attended culinary education classes. I saw my first servesafe certificate in January of this year and at my current job am supposed to have one...this is a town by town thing in NJ ... and to be brutally honest I eat things at home that I wouldnt serve to the general public....like pizza left in the box on the table overnight...I like my leftover pizza at room temp meatballs be damned and yes I have gotten a wicked case of some sort of food poisoning due to being late for the camp bus and having my dinner bag in my back pack and once from a catering hall...lasted way too long to be a hangover rural or primitive peoples have stonger systems than some of us they, drink "bad" water and dont refridgerate their food. Where WE might get sick they dont. Have you ever had an aquaintance go back to a native land and come home sick as a dog?? they have lost their natural resistance dont forget to avoid that expensive dry aged beef, yes its refridgerated ...but eeeew it gets mold on it By the way is this project in the US?? tracey now where is that old slice of pizza for breakfast
-
ok that was the food now the staff and of course US
-
the thing I eat with no fear that may have been left out waaaaay too long would be pizza. So maybe some kind of stuffed breads....ala strombolli or whatever fillings would nationally appropriate...if the bread will keep wouldnt the fillings

Damn you guys are killin me ...I am being dragged...I mean going to Knoxville for a hootnanny, I mean the Honda Hoot in June..... All I want is biscuts and BBQ I will be on a motorcycle all day and looking like a proper hillbillie I hope, should I buy some overalls? But really I want to find the greasy spoons of the area with great breakfasts and pie...the kind of places you hoped that the Crackerbarrel would be.. we are staying in Knoxville, the event is at Chilhowie Park, and we are going to ride in the Deals Gap area..... tracey

Ok you have to give up now and go uptown to Citarella...Just before a show at the Beacon we were killing time in there and saw the cupcakes from hell....ooooh just loook at those. We even had a parking space on the street close enough to go sit and eat them....little nuggets of heaven under a white chocolate butter cream back to your regularly scheduled program tracey

Well I think Eric has this review pretty much under control. The only real food I have had since last night is leftover flank steak...now really where can you get a tasting menu where you have leftovers? The service was perfect as usuall even after a party of 40 had just left and the Mother day chaos about to ensue. Good company good food and a wonderful host....it really is cool to sit in a restaurant chilling with the chef Till we meet again....hmmmm we all did agree it was ok to hate bobby but go to his restaurants right...Lou too tracey live eg

What can be even worse is eating dinner at the really good pizza/restaurant next to the Shoprite when you do need to do an all out shop......nothing looks good, you dont care if you need it, you just must stop looking at food, so now you have drive all the way back there the next day to shop. When the only reason you ate out in the first place was to go into town to Shop. tracey

Everyone keeps mentioning recipes ya mean you dont just take some warm water mix in some yeast and a little flour and wait an hour then add more water more flour and some salt till it looks right?? Thats how I do it. Unless you are taking the room temp and dividing by the temperature of the flour combined with the temp of the water multipilied by the humidity and barometric pressure....its going to come out different every time anyway. Just kidding mostly, I really do just add flour until it feels right, I know I used to have a recipe. I think up thread, Wednesday I used a palmfull of Fleishmans yeast in the little jar, squeeze of honey, 1 cup water, and 1 cup flour wait an hour add 2 cups water and about 3-4 cups flour refridgerate overnight. Now everyone go make pizza.... its homemade how bad could it come out tracey
