I was gonna just do a plain old boring pie with gravy but then I noticed some leftover beers from St paddys. Just made sense to try and make a more delicious meal.

A lot of the time in work I just try to make things very basic and easy so I can get on with paperwork (the safer food better business book is a nightmare) but I wanted to give my clients a drat tasty pie ok

we dont for the most part, only goony ale sperglords drink lukewarm beer and are all like "oh yeh i can really taste the hops which is a good thing apparently". normal people drink lager or cider which is served cold.

beer is supposed to be served at cellar temperature which is pretty cold anyway.

drinking in the us is just strange. its incredibly cheap to buy spirits in a lot of places ($12 for 1.75l of gordons gin in vegas) but then you go out and its $10 a drink + tip

cos you're paying the bartenders wage, rather than the employer doing it lmao

all this booze talk makes me want a drink but all I've got is a premixed jack and coke I found in the back of the fridge :v:

You pay for the ambience 90% of the time. Some places actually make good drinks too. But yeah $80 got me like 5 bottles of good liquor, and I've definitely paid that much for a single night of drinking at bars.

i've always liked the thing about us drinking culture where it isnt really looked down upon to go to a pub by yourself and just sit at the bar have a few drinks

if you do that here people assume you're on the dole

I'd feel weird to be out by myself. On the other hand the idea of going out and meeting new people in a bar would be pretty cool I guess as meeting new people is hard.

I'm a chef
Chefs have to do hella' paperwork. Thankfully I had it all sorted last time we had an inspection but I haven't finished with the new load of work and I'm mega anxious we'll have another inspection soon. I don't wanna loss my 5 rating :ohdear:

But I'm having to train up new staff too which means doing lots of induction work and having to teach them basic safety and hygiene nonsense and then having to write it all down so I can prove I've taught them and blah blah blah. Chefs don't just cook food anymore.

they actually got shut down by an inspection which never happens, there were apparently roaches and stuff in there, you never loving see roaches in england like ever

before they got shut down someone kept stealing the D and the Y off the store's sign
