I told my boss I can only work the morning (read: busiest with the most tips) shift today so I can spend time with the family in the afternoon and evening.

She responded by giving me the whole day off :peanut:

I appreciate that, but I work in a nice, air-conditioned office monday to friday 9-5 doing the job I went to school for.

I just also moonlight in a restaurant because, I, uuuuhhh, hate myself?

Extra spending money is nice. I'm half tempted once I move on to do weekend serving for some extra cash.

I'm also a masochist (as shown by the above post).

Didn't have to deal with brunch, been prepping out for a party of 2k that starts with a reception tonight, and they've got breakfast, lunch, and breaks Tues, Wed, and Thurs. I seriously need more refrigeration. And more equipment. We were not expecting something this big to be booked within the first 6mos.

I have literally never understood the bloody mary. If I want to drink my hangover away its one of two things; a shot of irish whisky, or a glass of insanely dry sparkling wine. I think people who like bloody marys smoke a lot of cigarettes or something IDK.

Our MD brunch turned out to be a non-event. Much like Easter, we were staffed to gills and loaded for bear, and we barely did poo poo. First hour and a half we got fisted, but then once the rail was clear at 11:30, it was so slow our guy on fry station started getting all Mr Wizard by putting whole eggs in the deep fryer to see what would happen. (We drain and clean the fryer on Tuesdays, which is normally my job, and I'm soooo happy I had today off)

I never understood or desired one until I tried it extremely hungover and it worked like goddamn magic. I’ve loved them ever since.

Tomatoes are legitimately one of my favorite things on the planet so that isn't it.

I have had one extremely hung over, just isn't my bag. I just don't get it. That isn't to say I don't respect it. I also used to not get sour beers until I ordered one that changed my mind. So maybe, in another 10 years of drinking, Ill find that magic bloody Mary.

Another thing I don't get about them is the insane garnish that goes into it. Every time I see one of those I see the worst parts of Vegas. Then again I don't really order cocktails outside of items that have one or two components or completely straight.

Egg #1: dropped for 90 seconds. No change in exterior; upon cracking, interior was still raw and cold to the touch.
Egg #2: dropped for ?? seconds before that fucker exploded, making the fry basket a nightmare of protein webs that made me thank the gods I was not on dish Sunday or cleaning egg gunk out of the fryer today

Our sample population for this experiment may have included unforeseen variables due to the fact that the fry station dude was so bored, he had been doodling smily faces on the eggs with Sharpie mere moments before drawling "Ah wunner what happen if Ah put this whole aaaeeegg in the fryer, y'all?"

RAAAAARGH!!!! GIFT CARDS ARE FUCKING RETARDED!!!!

(I need a hug)
LOL I'm an old, just avoid wine, only have dark beers if I'm drinking them solidly enough to get drunk, and avoid spirits you haven't made yourself (pot still whiskey or 'dark' anything, and even white spirits which are pumped out to maximize profit are full of hangover inducing head and tails.
The whiskys and rums have the heads and tails intentionally because i) pot stilling can't avoid them and it has to be pot stilled, ii) the cuts aren't made by cut offs/observation, but by flavour, and some heads and tails traits are desirable for that - but will make your hangover worse. If a refluxed white/neutral spirit give you a hang over though it's just because they were cheap asses and are screwing you.

Distill your own white spirit and be very generous of the portions you discard (unlike the commercial makers), and double distill and carbon filter the hearts and you'll be golden. Make it GWS by making your own gin or something. Not being serious here because you have a sucky law, but in general when you're an old you have to cut down on whisky and rum and only have the option of high quality vodkas and gins.
Every time I have some wine I'm wrecked with bad hang overs, bad reflux as well. Sometimes happens with lagers and pale ales as well and commercial spirits usually have too many hang over inducing compounds.

The last time this conversation started where I work, I believe my response was something along the lines of "If y'all start putting stupid poo poo in the fryer, I'm clocking out and I'm not coming back till the mess is cleaned up."

They wisely elected to not put stupid poo poo in the fryer.

Bloody Mary’s with chipotle tobacco are good as hell.

Get out with stacking food on top of the drink, though. Nobody wants a full garden (or sliders and onion rings and etc and etc) getting in the way.

e: I like tobasco over tobacco, but my phone is a heavy smoker and has other ideas.
