Now, this is the part where I point out that I'm on a weapons-grade blood thinner (enoxaparin) due to a blood clotting disorder.

My dad was on that for a while, due to aneurisms in the popliteal arteries in both his knees. Once we were out sighting in some rifles for deer season, and he screwed up and got bit across the bridge of his nose by the edge of the scope as the rifle recoiled. I've had that happen to me, it's like a shaving cut, you put some pressure on it and it's fine.

He had blood sheeting down his face for like 20 minutes, his shirt looked like he'd been shot. I can *barely* imagine your kitchen aftermath.

The best way to stop the bleeding is to jam your hand into the deep fryer. You will not be bleeding anymore.

How do people cut themselves on a mandolin or slicer? Use a towel on the mandolin, and pay attention when cleaning the slicer.

I don't know about all that, but finely ground white pepper actually works just like styptic powder (and as much as your brain says it probably should, it doesn't burn or hurt in any way).

I've made a paste out of blood and flour and crammed it into a wound before... There's probably a lot of good reasons not to though.

My mando story:
I lived with 2 other dudes for a couple years and then the owners sold the house we were renting. We found another place but it was 4 br so we had to find a Craigslist roommate. Found a pretty cool kid, he was 21 and going to the local college. We were all 25-27 but sometimes it was cool to come home to a bunch of drunk 21 year old girls in the back yard. One day I get home from an am shift and there's a bbq going on. I volunteered to make coleslaw and got out my mandoline and started shredding cabbage and carrots. Nicked myself and went to throw a bandaid on it and as I return to the kitchen I see this drunk girl pick up the cabbage and the mandoline and with "NO" on my lips watched as she drunkenly shoved her fingers into the blade, and started bleeding alcohol-thinned blood everywhere and crying. After we got her patched up she passed out and peed on our couch. That's my mandoline story thank you.

How the gently caress else are you going to make coleslaw? Because it gets bloody it's a favorite topic, but there's a ton of poo poo that gets you hurt in restaurants. It's loving psychotic we let 16 year olds with almost no training use an espresso machine.

Mandolines are easy to not gently caress yourself up on. Wear a glove and use the guard and when you get to that last half inch of veg just toss it into the veg tray for stock.

Our main night cook's definition of "sober" involves three beers and a Klonopin so I'm really, really glad we don't have a mandoline.

Same guy cooks up random concoctions in the queso pots after our GM leaves, usually involving some sort of tea + Kratom, crushed up Midol and/or raw cacao. He's tried to convince nearly everyone in the place to try this poo poo, to the point that one of the first things we tell new people is "yo, if Jared tries to get you to drink something, don't trust him. Never trust him."

He's my favorite cook though. :kimchi:

Yeah, he's actually prescribed the Adderall and Klonopin that is basically his lifeblood, but then adds literally anything he can get his hands on on top of it. A couple months ago he spent 45 minutes telling me about his Ketamine trip. I'm pretty sure he's only still alive because he's young and hasn't discovered he's not actually immortal yet

Spend 5mins talking to your doctor, get scrip. At least that's how it went for me. Just said hey bro, been having anxiety/depression for as long as I can remember, haven't done anything about it, here are some examples. Okay, here's your scrip for some benzos, come back in 3 weeks and we'll see how it goes.

We are a fairly popular brunch destination. We also frequently have 200+ person banquets on a Saturday during regular service at night. Occasionally some fucker will steal my mise for brunch or pm line because they're weeded and I only notice 20 minutes before plating because I'm busy doing other poo poo.

Sweating heat out is a thing. Lots of farmhands eat jalapenos in the field because it makes you sweat, and sweating is the body's natural cooling mechanism.

In fact, the ability to sweat is what makes us such great hunters. We can literally chase something down nearly forever, and it'll just die of heat exhaustion.

yeah I generally enjoy spicy poo poo in hot weather, and gumbo is usually served lukewarm anyways. I can get down on some cajun food (or soondubujjigae) any hot day of the week. at the very least, sweat theory aside, they're both liquidy and make you want to drink tons of water, which is perfect for being out and busting your rear end in the sun.
