Estoy valenciano, pero si!
37 years in the industry, I knew when I was a young cook I wouldn’t make jack shit for pay, so I always looked at places where I could enjoy life: N. Florida, Buenos Aires, Bermuda, Bonaire, Seattle, Los Angeles (ok, that was for straight up pay…never again!) now Spain. Hard work, a good partner, and dumb luck.
Sold our house at the right time (Trump presidency #1), funded a year & a half in the EU with ‘no income’ (you need to show income plus have enough funds to show independence -and family send letters of assurance & their bank statements for support, plus private insurance, etc. & patience.
Found an amazing town in 3.months and have been here for 7 years, restaurant opened 4 months before COVID lockdown, the landlord was amazing throughout the whole ordeal, didn’t charge the 3 months closure, we paid half rent for the 1st year and were able to repay it within a year). Neighbors were amazing (again) very supportive through the whole deal.
This is when we found out we can do it just by ourselves…the kids then some casual employees PT during the high season. This year we had 2 neighbors kids work with us for their first ‘real job’.
Great community, we work very hard but have some awesome quality of life (Mediterranean is 500m away) and more than anything got lucky.
I wish others the same!
There is no debate anymore, it’s just obtuse mouth hole noises
oh absolutely, had to leave the US to live the American Dream, and can’t say it was a bad decision!
Yeah detaching your cheffiness in your personal life is a job in itself, I had OJT all throughout my children’s lives until they moved out, THEN my wife and I opened a BBQ joint and it’s just her and I and HOOOOO BOY the shoe is on the other foot!!! lol…we have fun.
2·1 month agoWell there is a reason the top American addiction specialist companies (cigarette industry PM, etc.) bought up all the processed food companies…they had the method but needed to diversity the market because of the backlash & lawsuits for cigarettes.
Now who would sue a company for producing a daily necessity? At the end of the day all they’d be required to do is soap a label on it saying ‘part of a balanced diet’ or some such bullshit.
America is driven by addiction.
onions, potatoes, spinach, egg, done
oh absolutely…there probably won’t be an event…there hasn’t been one yet and he’s already deployed the troops
There won’t be a long term. The mid term would see enough people out of work or without resources for food/shelter etc that they will resort to alternative means of acquiring resources which will then give the administration the excuse it needs to enact martial law
…and that will be that
Absolutely. Got it for Xmas one year, played until there was a god awful fuck scene that was…really something, and unexpected. Like, ok, I get that there are people that this is their only sexual outlet but can you fucking warn a guy?
It really reminded me of an updated Perfect Dark (360 version), which was…just stupid.
Late 80s early 90s I got into the database for our menus & recipes and changed ‘hot dog’ to ‘tibe steak smothered in underwear’ and then promptly forgot about it until one day months later with the storeroom clerk he was printing the monthly menus and inventory, lol and behold I laughed my ass off. He never even noticed because we just printed and filed the paperwork.
I also point around in areas that were ‘resteicted’ I found the ‘star wars’ game, and I would play it for hours on the midnight shift. Nothing like the old green screen games.
Insert Willem Dafoe meme Im something of a hacker myself
Ambien can be crazy though, my mother used to go out and eat an entire cake (or cook something and eat it all) in the middle of the night. More anecdotes than can be counted.
As an alternative (because, being her child I would probably do the same and would rather not) I made mini brownies with 3MG THC and threw them in the freezer …30 seconds in the microwave and in an hour I’m sound asleep.
THERE ARE DOZENS OF US! DOZENS!
So, the garlic was there because we bought a 3L tin of olive oil, we would get loads of bread from school and drank wine
We were culinary students, so the wine was ‘necessary’ and since we had to make a choice about spending money we spent it on olive oil, garlic and wine.
A solid career investment, if you will.
Student at university shared the 2br. house with 4 other dudes, in Poughkeepsie NY in the mid 90s, 2 who lived there originally had the bedrooms, me and one guy got the dining room we dividend with furniture, milk crates & curtains… everyone had a good time in the living room hearing me and one of my dates fucking…like the entire crew and their friends lined up like judges at a field sporting event
The bathroom was always wet… every surface
the boiler would often shut down, freezing us…most of the time on the weekends when we couldn’t get it running again
prostitutes would walk up to our door
the oil pipe to the boiler leaked outside
2 dogs & a snake as well, nothing in the fridge except garlic and weed (how my friend paid for his college tuition)
A mix of digital comic, animated & live action series, all set in the same season, intermixing the storylines, all in the same format (online/stream).
Bring the best of all 3 together.
Fuck up everybody’s world.
The only secret French chefs have (and they will deny this) is that they love Ketchup
So here’s a picture of a potato that escaped to the back of our cabinet and lived it’s best life.
I’m thinking it went on it’s merry way during our vacation in the cold months, and by the time we got back the stink had dissipated (plus, we live in a loft so the smell would not be trapped in a room). Either way, we didn’t find it until months later and dried out.
…looks like a little pirate ship, lol
