A sous-chef is the second in command or most of the times the assisstant to the chef-in-charge (dunno what its called in english, bluntly translated from swedish it's kitchen-master).

The garde-manger is usually a woman though.

Yesterday was governor election day in my town. The first direct voting to be held since 400 years ago, during the Dutch occupation. I went to the voting station at around 8, which was really close to my house only to see it was really packed with people. So i went back home, ate some breakfast and then i fell asleep. I woke up at 4 PM and the voting was closed.
So i went to watch some DVD until my friend picked me up and we hangout until 2 am.

from what i've heard its like that the first time for most countries. nuttin like good ol' america where no one votes, and everyone complains XD

hmm, if I have to cook, I think I'd rather get paid to do it. Otherwise I'm too lazy. Guess I just have to be the one to shatter all stereotypes



It's sous-chef, actually. 'sous' is French for 'under', makes sense, right?

i didnt even see this post. it would of saved a short and realativly pointless conversation with garret if i had x.x but oh well. thank you yomiko-sama *bows*

no problem ^^ the important thing is, you learned something. never try to speak French again, you'll only make a bigger fool of yourself

Oh, speaking of making yourself look foolish, I just did that I was going to the liquor store to order some more beer for the cookout my family is having this weekend, and my mom asked me to pick her up a six pack of cheap beer to use in her garden. Apparently, beer helps keeps slugs away, and my mom is attempting a full annihilation of all slugs within a mile radius of her roses. So, I told the guy at the store, "I need a six pack of your cheapest beer". Then I got embarrassed about buying such awful beer, so I said, "It's not for drinking. It's for slugs" The guy thought I was crazy

 

[iThePirate]

A dude in Sweden took a few slugs 'n' prepared 'em for a meal, spanish forest snails/slugs whatever they're called, disgusting, he expalined that he used a shitload o'herbs to conceal the slugs taste (ofc he was a chef).

Why did he do it? He was pissed at 'em eatin up his garden, an eye for en eye...

 

[rabb]

you eat my garden, i eat you isnt an eye for an eye. thats like your head for my toenail... and do you mean escargot? (hah! i know that french word!)

so i was talking to my recruiter today... i had to take a test... his program skipped a whole section.... and i got a 67... he says some kids dont get that high with all four sections... but he wants me to test for the nuclear engineering program... which is supposed to be really high tech, and prestigious, i guess.... so yeah.... im not really sure what to think about that....

he also told me i cant have any caffeine ;-;


yomiko, your ordering lots of beer from him. i doubt he cares what you're using it for. although, if i were him i would've double checked your ID after saying something like "I SWEAR i wont drink it"

 

[Ichimaru Gin n Tonic]

PY! I think those slugs will get drunk from drinking all that beer.

Pirate, so he cooked them just so that he can get his revenge?

 

[iThePirate]

@ichi, yeah, a shame to all us chefs if ya ask me, if they'd tasted good i wouldn't mind eatin 'em myself but since he covered it up with herbs (n bacon if im not mistaken) its a shame, its dirty 'n' nasty 'n' he should quit bein a chef...

 

[MadDog]

MadDog, why do you keep deleting your posts, man?

Yeah, guillty as charged. Not that I normally care about posting wacky things , but I've deleted a few since I wasn't sure they had much to add to to my friends in the hang out thread.

Plus, the doctors have put me on some meds to control these migraine headaches I've been getting since a grey/white patch of hair appeared on my head about a week ago and I haven't quite been myself lately.

Not to bring anyone down though, the ladies think my patch looks distinguished. So, there's some benefit.

yomiko, your ordering lots of beer from him. i doubt he cares what you're using it for. although, if i were him i would've double checked your ID after saying something like "I SWEAR i wont drink it"

nah, the fact that I seemed embarrassed about buying bad beer must have proven that I was legal

PY! I think those slugs will get drunk from drinking all that beer.

well, the idea is not so much that they'll get drunk, but that they'll die. tragic, I know, but at least they'll die having tasted the superior flavor of the cheapest brew money can buy

but I've deleted a few since I wasn't sure they had much to add to to my friends in the hang out thread.

nonsense!! I doubt I'm alone in saying I enjoy hearing what you have to say

besides, none of us really have any right to judge you. we're all so weird in our own bizarre ways, any judgements made would be hypocritical

Plus, the doctors have put me on some meds to control these migraine headaches I've been getting since a grey/white patch of hair appeared on my head about a week ago and I haven't quite been myself lately.

hope you're ok

 

[MadDog]

Thanks Yomiko I've been feeling a little bit down lately, but you managed to chear me up. Plus, I think I'm fine, so thanks for asking.

Anyway, I didn't think too much about the grey/white patch on the side of my head until I got a killer migraine out of nowhere and had to go to the hospital. (I typically avoid the hospital until I have no choice) The doctors did some scans (which were not fun) to make sure everything's cool in my head. It takes a little bit of time to figure things out (according to them) so their guess for now is that the migraines and the hair patch are most likely due to a large amount of stress from work. I'm normally a relaxed/easy going guy, so I was kind of surpirsed by this. I guess that stress finds an outlet one way or another (and at least I didn't take it out on anyone)

My dog, Captain Morgan, has moved back in with me and he's slowly going down hill. I have to give the poor little guy a bath every night to give him releif from a skin condition. Plus, I have to trick him into eating the hald dozen pills he has to take a day in order to keep him going. To him, it's a game, to me it means that I won't be able to stop at dunkies on the way to work.

Since I'm sharing, they gave me some low dose anti-stress medication to help with the work related stress (which I didn't really think I needed) as well as pills for when the migraines come (which definetly work). Plus, they gave me a script for some valium...which...has been kind of interesting.

To make a long story short, It looks like I'm fine until I hear otherwise. The only problems are that I'm not supposed to drink when I'm on the pills and I've been gettin really drowsy all the time. I think I'm keeping thew white patch.

 

[rabb]

valium? *eyes shine* good stuff XD i was on it a few months ago. you dont feel nuttin with that stuff ^^ so whats wrong with your dog? i hope the two of you get better. oh, and who cares if the post doesnt add anything? how many of my posts are just random sentences or stories of my newest attempt to kill ichi? dont worry bout it, man.

yomiko... why dont you just pour salt on them? like normal people?

 

[PaperYomiko]

I don't know, I'm not the one rampaging the slug population, talk to my mom about it

careful with those drugs though, they can be bad. I was on powerful stuff like that once, and hated it. It really does numb you, and that really bothered me. Totally killed my creativity as well, and my memory. I stopped them when I was waitressing, cause I couldn't remember the orders otherwise. And they weren't really helping anyway, so why pay the money

hope the Captain's doing better too, maddog...my dog is getting old too, it sucks

 

[MadDog]

Thanks guys, that reallly means a lot to me. It was really one of those situations where you don't know how people will react if you post something a little more serious than normal, and I wasn't looking to bring the mood down.

Yomiko - I fully underestand what you're saying with the pills. I work in a creative environment, so anthying that kills off thta edge will not be good.

By the way, I totally passed out in front of my computer tonight while on MH...for hours, and just woke up now. That's something I've never done before. probably not such a good thing.

Captain Morgan seems like he's in better spirits. He developed a skin irritation on his neck and part of his back that was causing him some pain, but the anti-biotics and nightly baths seem to be helping him out somewhat. Here's kind of a funny story...I built him a doggy ramp because he was having trouble going up and down the stairs to the backyard. For the first few days, it took him a little while to figure out that your supposed to wait until you get off the ramp before you go...or that could've been his way of protesting that he wanted the stairs back. Can't beleive he'll be 15 soon.

Yah it is Pirate.

My dog is about 10 years old right now, and the poor thing, she has cataracts. She's almost completely blind. It is kind of sad, but it is funny too. She still thinks she is a puppy so she tries to run around the house at top speed...

We have a few dents in some of my walls from her hitting her head now,

MadDog, I hope you feel better dude. If you don't need the Valium, send it to me, who knows when you may need a high dose pain killer on hand?

 

[iThePirate]

Had a few dents 'n' holes (mostly holes) in my walls from me throwin' my barbells 'n' weights at 'em, cellphones too..
