I spent so much time making bacon and sauteing mushrooms to add to the sauce that I didn't even use because I liked the flavor of the sauce all by itself. I have found Rick Bayless' Frontera sauces to be ridiculously yummy, and super-easy. This is what I had with chicken breasts and mashed potatoes tonight: http://www.amazon.com/Frontera-Roas...=frontera+sauce I found it in my local grocery a month or so ago and absolutely love it.

So this weekend my family and I drove over to Michigan to visit my Mom's side of the family for Christmas. On Sunday, my family and my grandparents got lunch at the Bavarian Inn in Frankenmuth, MI. When we were done, they left while we wandered around and did touristy stuff for an hour or two. Walk back to the van, get in, take off, cue food poisoning like a slap to the face. I held it together for like three hours when I finally told my dad to hit the next rest stop, whose facilities happened to be closed. So I unloaded everything in my gut and then some on the side of the building. Hopped back in the van, passed out for an hour while I spiked a ridiculous fever. Then everyone decided they couldn't wait two more hours for food so stopped for Culver's. Euurgghhh. Yakked my guts out one more time about 20 miles from home, got home, annihilated the toilet, and struggled to sleep all night. Needless to say, work sucked rear end today, even with just taking a half-day. *posts fuck2014 gif*

Yeah, today was a bad day. It took 90 minutes to go 5 miles to work. Traffic was awful. I got to work and my back locked up. Went to the doctor. Doctor is running behind, sat in the office for 4 hours. Got a shot with a huge needle, told to lay down for rest of the day. Current status: Nauseated and headache, exhausted but can't sleep.

Midget has a bit of a clunk somewhere back from the driver's seat, I hear it (quite clearly) whenever I go over a bump. I think I've ruled out the top by driving around with it up. Wrapped the tools in a cloth, and the spare seems to be pretty tight in there. With the Crown Vic temporarily out of commission, I'd been driving the Midget, but maybe I'll switch to the motorcycle until I can figure out what's clunking back there. I think I'll check the suspension first.

You should definitely take the time now to go see her; there was no warning when my grandfather went and I still am not over it. I suspect I never will be. Spent time where you can, while she still remembers you.

 Potato quality photo. Started at Jet's today. Slow day, even for a Monday, but still wound up with 9 orders (it would have been 3, maybe 4, at the hut). I had no idea how huge their delivery area is, but the majority of their business seems to be within 3 miles (they have a 5 mile radius that covers parts of the delivery areas for both Pizza Huts I worked at, and cover parts of 3 cities). Everyone seems pretty laid back, even the GM, except you absolutely cannot drive without a car topper  . I hate what they do to your paint, and if you so much as look at someone funny in traffic it's almost a guaranteed complaint. Owner dropped in, we talked a bit. Seems like a nice enough guy. Oddly, they never did pull a driving record on me, nor did they bother looking at the car (every pizza place I've worked does both before they let you drive). GM just asked me if the state inspection was current (it is - just had it done a few days ago), I said yes, he said that was good enough for him.Guy they had on the cut table is pretty new, and wasn't very quick with the cutting. I bought a small pizza for myself for dinner on my way out, and asked him if I could cut it. GM asked "have you used this style before?" (it's the rocker style like what pizza hut uses). Had the pizza cut in about 3 seconds, pizza in the box in 2 more seconds, before saying "a few times, yeah"... while the guy who'd been running cut would take a solid 20 seconds... per pizza. Dude who was running the cut table was standing there slack jawed, GM was laughing. Previa_fun posted:I have a bottle of Dave's Total Insanity as well and that's about as hot as I'd ever want to go. The first time I tried that, I thought it was meant to be used like a normal salsa, so I dumped a bunch on a taco. I mean a bunch. That was my first foray into really hot sauces. That was.. paaaaaaiiiinnnnnnnful. cursedshitbox posted:Yeah the fuckin' place would randomly float the common rail in some rooms causing all sorts of fun stuff.

I miss doing pizza delivery from time to time and also periodically get the strange craving to slap out dough. I try to keep myself in check though as I have romanticized that time of my life some as I know I had some really really lovely times. (I managed to duck out of being robbed and most like being assaulted by about 15 feet.)

To be fair, most of the pizza they sell is rectangular, and the various sizes get different numbers of cuts. There's a crazy Escher chart of how each pie gets cut. I haven't slapped dough in almost 2 years. I miss it, it was a lot of fun.  The place I'm at now actually makes their own dough, and has a machine to roll it out. They do slap it afterwards; I'm going to see if I can talk the GM into letting me practice on a doughball tomorrow. I used to be able to do all kinds of poo poo like toss it in the air and catch it behind my back, then toss it back up and catch it in front; when I was at PJ's I always put on a show for the customers. The DM hated it, claiming it got flour everywhere (well no poo poo, any place that has dough being slapped will get flour everywhere), but hey, a lot of kids enjoyed watching it. Sometimes if I knew I had a bad skin (about to rip, too thin in one spot, whatever), I'd tell whatever kid in the lobby that was watching to catch... and toss it in the air toward them. Half would freak out, half would nearly piss themselves from giggling. I managed to break one of the neon signs that way though  - kind of overshot them a bit.Did anyone ever ask you to get the dough repair kit when you ripped a hole in it?  There's no way in hell that prank was limited to PJ's.

The first chain I worked for was PJ's and knew about the kit well before I started. The only time I heard about it when I worked at Pizza Hut was from former pj employes. Of the six different PJ's I worked at, only the management training store did not have dust everywhere and that store was really slow (like $8k/wk). Pretty much every DM had a reason to hate the dough getting air born. The DM I had said it would cause thin spots (which is technically correct as long as you ignore that it's just as easy to make them when you slap it out.)

Girlfriend wants to design a custom shift knob for her car (2007 Scion Tc). Anyone know anywhere that does one-off shift knobs with user submitted images/designs. I googled for custom shift knobs and found a lot of flames/skulls/dice/etc. that she's not too keen on.  I don't think she'd like a spider knob either, unfortunately.

Pretty much every DM had a reason to hate the dough getting air born. The DM I had said it would cause thin spots (which is technically correct as long as you ignore that it's just as easy to make them when you slap it out.) Yeah, spinning it can cause thin spots (mainly from the slap that sends it airborn), but they're easy enough to fix with the dough repair kit. Hand slapped dough will never be perfect, there will always be thick and thin spots. But after awhile you figure out how to prevent the thin spots (or at least keep them minimal), even when you spin it. My excuse is when it was airborn, I could get a good look at the thin spots and correct them once I caught it, much quicker than I could catch them with it already on the screen or table. It's mass market pizza. Most customers of PJ's and PH don't know good pizza from a fleshlight. Speaking of, I took the trash out at PJ's one day and found a bunch of used dildos in the dumpster. The DM was there that day. I ran back in laughing my rear end off and told him to go look in the dumpster. Cue the DM and asst manager looking in the dumpster and going "what the gently caress, are those real?!". Some of them still had condoms on them. The DM actually jumped in to kick at them to see if they were real, and jumped out in a hurry when he realized they were. I had a picture at one time (and probably still do, buried somewhere). It was the oddest thing I've ever seen in a dumpster. randomidiot fucked around with this message at 06:43 on Dec 9, 2014 |

torpedan posted:Heh, all the crazy stuff is supposed to happen on delivery not at the store. I haven't had anything crazy happen since I worked at Papa John's. The last one was NYE 2011. They asked if I wanted some rock, I said no thanks. They asked if I knew what it was, said yes, said I tried it, didn't really care for it. Saw a guy smoking crack on the couch, and a toddler crawling around on the floor. That was the only time I've called the police on a customer. If there wasn't a 1 year old crawling around, I would have just forgotten about it. But they were smoking crack.. with a child crawling around... At PJ's I was always offered bong rips, joints, beers, shots, parties, and invited to a 3 way once.  I'd usually accept a beer or a shot, I'd take a joint if I wasn't expected to smoke it right there and then (I HATE driving baked). Haven't even been offered a beer since I left PJ's, the craziest it's gotten has been my commenting "dude, it smells really good in there!" when I deliver in the middle of their smoke session. I'm sure part of it is I'm a lot older now (I definitely don't look 18, and i'm closer to 40 than 30).Reminds me, I need to pick up some hair dye. I don't like my naturally brown hair, and I definitely don't like gray hair. I need it to be as black as my heart. At EVERY pizza place I've ever worked, there's always a smoke session behind the store several times a day (the new place is no exception). I get annoyed when people come back in so baked that they can't work, but if they know their limits and don't reek, I don't give two shits. I've done plenty of lines off of the desk at one particular PJ's. Usually ketamine or meth. You could probably take a razor blade to the desk today and get plenty of coke, meth, and ketamine easily.

The two rooms connected through the bathroom. Except they didn't bother to cover up the second door - our apartment number was "174-5" for mail purposes, and key purposes. Years later, when I actually moved into dorms, I wound up in a building with the exact same floorplan - my room connected to my neighbor's room via the bathroom. Except we both had our own closets, instead of a mini kitchen being shoved into one of them. That dorm also had its own coffin shaped pool and thank gently caress no roaches, the apartments had them so bad they'd fall on you when you were in the shower.

Moved my newer/bigger desk, and PC, to the other side of the room. Formerly the PC sat under the TV, now it's across the room. Got sick of dragging Windows Media Center to a TV behind me, and hearing audio from behind me. The desk is next to the closet, and the bed faces the closet, so...  "Speakers B" are on the desk under the monitors again, so perfect for gaming and music, which are some decent late 90s Infinity bookshelf speakers. No need for the sub with those, they're meant for desktop stuff anyway. The printer is in hiding, with my Onkyo receiver replacing it for now, until I figure out a better place for it. I rarely ever use it anyway, I have a B&W laser that's way, way cheaper to run. Gotta figure out where the rest of the speakers will go. Obviously the center channel will go on top of or on the bottom of the TV, I'll probably toss a couple of the old Infinity satellite speakers I have next to it for fronts, and toss the other two at the other end of the room for rear fill. One of said satellite speakers is visible in this picture (have 4, plus a center, but the powered sub died - my receiver came with a decent sub):  e: goddamnit, why does my wireless printer lose all of its settings every 6 months like clockwork? Not showing up on the network at all, not even pulling an IP, but the LEDs show it's on wifi. e2: plug it into the PC, tell it what wireless router to connect to, and it spews about half a ream of pages out, thanks to "it didn't print, I'll click print 50 more times" family. randomidiot fucked around with this message at 10:32 on Dec 9, 2014 |

I woke up this morning with the crashing realisation that my job sucks, my manager is a cock and I'm working in an industry I don't give a gently caress about. I gave so little of a poo poo about getting ready for work today that I ended up rolling in about 30 mins late and have done gently caress all ever since. I'm torn between handing my notice in right now and grabbing a contract job for a few months, or waiting it out until I find a permanent gig I like.
