What Did You Keto Today? The Trilogy!

Ahhh, we were both at the dentist today. I hope yours was a good appointment. Mine was to discuss options for the tooth I lost on the pork crackling!

I feel awful saying it out loud :speak_no_evil: but I just miss the days of being left alone to get my work done. I do understand it’s all part of the role, but I feel so much pressure to get everything done at once. I did speak up today and say I felt swamped with it all, hopefully things get better.


('Jackie P') #5916

Yes, maybe you could have a mentor. Stress at work is horrible. Also you have been unwell and probably run down. :confused:

This is why I sucked as a kitchen manager. I hated the “babysitting” aspect. It’s like trying to get a bunch of children focused on a task and taking their job seriously. I hated walking in the door and the tattling that so and so didn’t finish prepping their station and that’s why everything is messed up today…:face_with_raised_eyebrow:.

:cowboy_hat_face:

This is true - I’m determined to not let a bad day turn into a bad week, but I do feel totally deflated today :roll_eyes:


(Steaks b4 cakes! 🥩🥂) #5919

I can just imagine you babysitting! :joy:
Some days I feel I can nail this supervisor thing…other days i feel I suck at it!

this is why I have never gone for a supe job! That and having to write all the reviews…
but I hope it gets better for you @ClareBear super soon!

:thinking: I may just be lazy

Got my new chaffle machine! Made chaffwiches for work tomorrow. Kept it simple, cheese and marmite😋. Not sure if a tomato would disintigrate it!


Had a re-toasted one with cheese for supper…

You know the thing … too much for one not enough for two … still learning😶

Nice though!

That is awesome, Jackie. I want a bigger one then my little one… maybe for Christmas from my kids, I have been hinting.


('Jackie P') #5924

Yes I think this will be more versatile. Hint away :joy:

A dessert of warm frozen berries and cream.

Right that’s it! I’m going straight on Amazon and I’m getting one of these!! :joy:


('Jackie P') #5927

Haha! You’ll get addicted!:joy:


(Steaks b4 cakes! 🥩🥂) #5928

I’m so ready for this! It’ll be here tomorrow! :joy:

Awwww sorry to hear that. #teamgrumpypants

I caused an electrical mishap today! I’d set off a huge parmigiana in the slow cooker this morning, and got home this afternoon to discover no power in the house, and a melted slow cooker cable - I somehow had left two inches of the cable stuck between the insert and the aluminium housing… thank goodness that the fusebox did its thing!

Here’s the melted cable - spot the exposed metal… :zap::boom:

Shoved it in the oven instead, then got a bit sidetracked. Mind you, there’s nothing better than that many layers of aubergines, cheese and tomatoes when it’s that caramelised! No pic though.

To finish we had my latest flavour of Frankenfluff - blackcurrant. Snarfed it down quicker than the camera could handle.


('Jackie P') #5930

Blimey you were lucky there!


(Rebecca 🌸 Frankenfluffy) #5931

Yup! Firstly not to have burnt the house down, secondly to have got supper on the table by 7.30 rather than the early hours of tomorrow morning!

Mr S has snipped off the offending portion of cable, and he’s going to wire the plug back on it. Yes it’ll be shorter, but it’ll still easily reach the socket AND not leave enough trailing cable behind to risk melting it again…


(Susan) #5932

Eeek. well I am glad that it all worked out well and your house didn’t burn down and that no one was hurt!!

Came home and wasn’t hungry at all, but we did have Steaks in the Sous Vide since yesterday. (24 hrs. or so) So decided to eat and just go back to Fasting. … Top Sirloin, Fried Brussel Sprouts, Pickles and Olives. (Did not eat the Cauli-Egg Salad, since I ate some earlier. Wife put it in a container.)
