What Do Chefs Do Aside From Cooking?

what do chefs do besides cooking

(photo: @redcharlie)

Let me eliminate all the cooking (of which I, and most chefs, do very little) and all the things concerning direct supervision of cooking.

In the morning I do a stock muster and make sure we have everything we need to make it through the day. I read my team’s notes and the front of the house notes and try to understand what I need to order to have it here in a timeframe that allows me to never run out and nothing to come too early and spoil.

Picture of the Day

Eduard Bloch

Eduard Bloch, Hitler’s childhood doctor, and a Jew. When Hitler’s mother couldn’t afford cancer treatment, Bloch reduced his prices. Teenage Adolf declared undying gratitude, and when Austria was annexed, Hitler kept his word and granted the doctor special protection by the Gestapo

Even after the two had parted ways after Klara’s death, Adolf continued to keep in touch with Bloch by sending him postcards. Some of those were even personally hand-painted by Adolf himself.

The Daily Man-Up

self belief

(photo: @joshuaearle)

You can spend your whole life listening to other people tell you that it’s not possible or that you will never pull it off or you can listen to yourself, believe in yourself and back yourself!

It doesn’t matter what other people say or think it only matters what you think and what you believe is possible for you!

Whatever your vision, goal or dream is you have to know with absolute faith and conviction that you will get there and you will make it happen and that starts with believing in yourself and knowing exactly what you want!

You become unstoppable when your purpose becomes clear within your own mind and when you believe with everything you have that it’s possible and when you finally stand up and declare that you will not stop until you get exactly what you want!

Be relentless and so determined that no one or nothing can deny you or separate you from what you truly believe in!

What Is The Singularity In A Black Hole?

what is the singularity in a black hole

Why is it that when you push two pieces of wood together, they don’t smush together and become one smaller piece of wood? Because the atoms that make up the pieces of wood push against each other, repel each other. They want to own their own little bit of space. They resist being smushed.

But they can only push back so hard. With enough force, you *can* smush atoms together, breaking them down into smaller things. Those smaller things also don’t want to be smushed together, but with enough force, they will too. Everything will, with enough force.

lady guitar prison

“Lady”, an electric guitar built illegally by an inmate in a Pennsylvania State prison

This guitar came to life inside the 126-year-old jail that is so massive, it’s known locally as “The Wall.” Junior Ben had a broken guitar neck to start with. The heavy body was hand-carved from Pennsylvanian walnut and oak with white-painted binding. The hand-stamped brass truss rod cover has the word, “LADY,” a tribute to B.B. King’s “Lucille.”

All the wiring was smuggled in from the prison shops or pulled out of headphone jacks. All the knobs are spaced very closely together, a necessary step in order to keep wiring to a minimum.

What’s It Like To Have To Put Your Dog Down

The single hardest thing I have done in my life at the age of 31 was put down my dog, Angel, who had heart disease. I remember getting the call from my mom while I was at work and using the drive over the to vet to get all my crying out. This was my pup growing up and was the sweetest dog I’ve ever owned. Not a mean bone in her body and would absolutely light up the moment she saw me. Every time.

I remember pulling up to the vet and thinking I had everything under control but the moment I went into the room where she was laying on the table I lost it. Here is my pup breathing what seemed like slow determined breaths, dealing with pain in a foreign room without family around. My Mom walks in first and Angel immediately recognizes her and you can sense the relief.
