I love fermented and pickled foods and super-from-scratch stuff, but canning never appealed to me (which most of the home-pickling recipes i’d found involved). The only ferments i’ve ever done are sourdough starter and one kimchi that turned out sub-par. All the great stuff on this sub got me to buy some pickle/fermenting appropriate jars and really go for it. I’m currently lacto-pickling some beets, have a hot sauce going that’s starting to smell like hot sauce, and started some salt-preserved lemons today.

Just wanted to say thanks for the great content, fermenting is my new hobby.

We got less than half the tasks done today. I usually handle something fiddly (deep cleaning pumps or coffee urns or the coffee grinder) and JUST THAT ONE TASK takes me an hour usually. Today I broke an urn sight glass, the spring that sits in the seat cup of another urn was rusted out, and we realized the circle that holds the filter together on our vacuum was missing, so we lost like half an hour going on a wild goose chase through the BOH for these random parts. (I ended up ordering them all, R.I.P. openers who will be down an urn.) We have not once managed to deck scrub the whole store. My SM is starting to get frustrated with me over it and i’m just like ???????? DO YOU THINK WE’RE SUPE

I wanted to finally spend a gift card and get new bottles of a few of the Emotional Brilliance products I love online (specifically Fantasy and Bubbly), but couldn’t find them on the US website. Is the line downsized, or are they just not available online right now?

It’s more unique in style than any other art movement to have occurred in the last 200 years, and far superior to the “mid century modern” style that’s disgustingly everywhere right now.

People need more leaf-shaped beds and table legs that look like tree branches or waterfalls.

to walk up to the damn window, shock both me and the customer at the window, and tell me she wants nonfat in her latte.

I was like panicked gesturing “Okay can you get back in your car please?”

“Why are you being weird?”

“Customers are generally meant to stay in their cars in the drive through?”

She gets back in her car, pulls up to the window, and I shit you not goes “Why can’t I be out of my car?”

I’m like “Well, it’s a drive through, we don’t allow people to walk up to the window for safety and liability and you know . . . “

“If people aren’t allowed to walk in the drive through that should really be posted, otherwise how is anyone besides an employee meant to know?”
