You don't need to wait for a shit stain to know it's dirty.  50 hours
sleeping in/on them is enough to require washing.

Which is why it didn't work.

No, as a contractor. They don't discuss pay until the offer. At most,
they may ask 'how much you expect' but not always.
 
I got one offer from a job that wanted 10+ years SQL (I do an exceeded
their skill set in several areas). In fact, for the senio position
that had just closed out but required a degree. So this was a
supervisiory middle management SQL job. They offered 36K and I laughed
and walked.

They should be crying. I've known many people who hired so-called pro
painters and wished they hadn't. the vast bajority of "pro painters"
can't paint themselves out of a paper bag. Most are huxters looking
to rip people off. I don't cosider a house painter a skilled trade.
It really requires no skill whatsover to paint, house painting
requires no more skill than raking leaves... actually raking leaves
requires greater skill... both require the same brute labor.
I've proved many times that a ten year old can out paint any so-called
pro painter. Painting is no more a trade than floor sweeping.

"Until the offer" being the operative term. John had already accepted
the job offer, gone through orientation, had to sign a bunch of
documents (for tax purposes) and been told he'd be trained on the
charting software and paid for training. I'm pretty darn sure by that
point someone would have mentioned his hourly rate.

Coming back to this.
 
Couple of things not mentioned.
 
I make what I was told are called 'fat boys'. Not thin like a
cigarette or cigarello but more like a fat cigar. Lumpia in the stores
for some odd reason have one of the highest markups I have ever seen!
 
Filipas will try to pretend it's because of all the careful handrolling
and manual labor. Nope. It's easy and fast to produce 24 fat boy
lumpia even without cheating and using spring wrapper but using the
proper almost seethough ones that you use in layers to make them so
crunchy that you can hear happy a bite 10 feet away.
 
Normally I make a few right away (say 4) but the rest are loaded in
diplock or vacuum sealed raw just as they are and frozen for later use.
 
You leave about 2 inches at top and bottom since both get flipped
up/down over the meat then you roll them up.

On this rock, people that are older than you are called "aunty" or "uncle."
They're not usually paid to raise the kids, though. Extended families are
common so it's usually the grandparents that help raise the grand-kids. The
most famous auntie on this rock is Aunty Genoa Keawe.

Looks like Uncle Ben is going away too. The name comes from a rice
farmer known as Uncle Ben, back in 1943. Seems like they are honoring
the guy, not disparaging him.
 
Is there a real Uncle Ben?
According to Mars, Uncle Ben was an African-American rice grower known
for the quality of his rice. Gordon L. Harwell, an entrepreneur who had
supplied rice to the armed forces in World War II, chose the name Uncle
Ben's as a means to expand his marketing efforts to the general public.

In the South, the title uncle or aunt was applied to either black or white
elderly folks as a matter of respect.

I think the whole situation is getting out of hand.

I don't know if it was Uncle Ben or Mrs. Butterworth, you blinked and it
happened.
 
 
Funny how these things happen. A while ago they got rid of the
stereotyped south Asian Apu on the Simpsons, but there was no complaint
about the stereotyped Scotsman.

Next to go is Eskimo Pie, a chocolate covered hunk of ice cream on a
stick. We grew up thinking if Eskimo only as the name for the people in
the far north. We were also under the impression that it was the term
that the northern Indians used for them and that it meant eaters of raw
meat. Now it is seen as a pejora
tive.

Will Frank White (cream of wheat guy who replaced Rastus on the
package in 1920's) be gone too?

There was a recipe here in the last week or so using pickle juice to
marinate chicken. I want to make it but I can't find it. Anyone
remember where it was?
I was sure that I copied and saved it but if I did I don't know where
it went.
Thanks

I'm glad you found that for her but when I read it I was not impressed enough
to save the site. I don't care for thighs nor pickles on any sandwich no
matter what meat it is and the thought of using the juice, uh-uh.
Thomas <canope234@gmail.com>: Jun 17 01:45PM -0700

Soak in pickle juice then cook.
Good enough?

I like chicken thighs but, like you, say no thanks to pickles or pickle
juice. :)

The first thing you have to do is to proof the yeast. You need proof that the yeast is still in a viable state. Dissolve the yeast in some warm water and make sure you get some nice bubbling action. Make sure you're putting some sugar in the dough too. Make sure you're adding enough liquid to the dough. You should add enough to make a soft, but not too soft dough. No recipe is going to be able to tell you the correct amount or liquid to use.
 
If you're making pizza dough, let it rise once, shape your crust, add toppings, and pop it in the oven. Don't wait 3 days, don't even wait 1 day! Once you get that right, then you can start monkeying around with the extended fermentation.
Thomas <canope234@gmail.com>: Jun 17 01:31PM -0700

Thank you all. Beginner and trying hard.
So far, better than any frozen but not better than the best.
Having fun figuring it all out.
