I got lucky with sourdough and have never had a failure with this recipe for the starter https://www.bostongirlbakes.com/how-to-make-sourdough-starter-from-scratch/#h-ingredients-and-equipment-needed and this recipe for the actual bread https://heartbeetkitchen.com/rye-sourdough-bread-recipe/#recipe

I want a good go-to regular bread though, I've tried a lot and had some success but none that especially stood out, pls post if you have any

This is a great pizza dough but I found it a little salty when measuring by weight, I'd maybe split the difference between the volumetric and measured weight https://www.seriouseats.com/jim-laheys-no-knead-pizza-dough-recipe

Lafayette, LA is a good food town.

We've already established that Starbucks employees hate their customers in classic rdrama posts like:

• Here is a list of things that /r/starbucks employees complain about

• Starbucks baristas still hate their customers

This week's rant comes from /u/Jewicer, who's unhappy about customers who complain when she doesn't bother to even say hello to them. She also rants about customers who don't say hello to her, so I'm not really sure how she hasn't managed to figure this one out yet.

I open 5-6 days a week and 95% of people coming in before 7AM do not say hi, do not say thank you, do not acknowledge us WHATSOEVER even if we literally place the drink directly into their hands.

Most of the time I am solo-barring and am clearing out 5 or so drinks every few minutes. People will see me struggling and still not acknowledge any efforts.

It's 4AM.....you're WELCOME for making your stupid butt drink! And HELLO, mf! Idc if you haven't gotten your coffee. I'm tired too! Who raised yall??? And then they get mad when we don't acknowledge them, greet them, say their names. Same people who I've "served" forever and have never said a word want to complain on google reviews. We're not robots! Literally makes the job so freaking miserable and then we get b*tched at for not connecting with customers. I don't like yall! No one does! Entitled asses.

Comments:

No matter how I'm greeted at the speaker I always say good morning/afternoon and ask how they're doing today. I can't tell you how many times their voice and demeanor totally changes. It costs nothing to be nice and you never know how it impacts their day. ☺️

[OP] that's great, but asking that and then being completely ignored makes me violent

And

After many years I understood my morning customers and realized they didn't want small talk that early. Anyone before 7am got the bare minimum from me. Maybe a half smile and a nod.

[OP] saying thank you isn't small talk. i don't want to talk to them either

It might be time for a new job my dear!

The ones that come in don't acknowledge us and went straight for the washroom then get mad when the washroom is out of order..those the worst

What do you want them to say? "Hello don't mind me while I shit in your bathroom while not ordering anything"

Finally a non-Starbies employee /u/Inevitable-End-7957 decides to start a fight and for some reason hasn't been banned yet:

When people come in and ignore my greeting to go straight to the bathroom, I go “oh do we know the code to the bathroom or are we not saying hello?” Then they either sheepishly say hi and ask for the bathroom code or get annoyed.

[/u/Inevitable-End-7957] And then you expect a tip on that $6 drink and I happily say no

.....we don't expect anything? just customers being good humans, is that too much to ask?

[/u/Inevitable-End-7957] Yes! So if a customer walks in and needs to use the bathroom, but doesn't hear a worker's greeting, they have to be subjected to that persons passive aggressiveness?

Maybe they have a hearing impairment. Maybe they about to sh!t their pants lol

Just because you assumed doesn't make it fact. Heres an idea. Be nice, say “if you're using the bathroom, you will need the code”.

Don't speak to someone in riddles and say they are sheepishly coming back.

But then, that might be too much to ask…or just some of that good human stuff

🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓 please keep giving sbux your money so you can pay for our college tuitions ^.^ we dont care if you tip or not, thanks NPC!

[/u/Inevitable-End-7957] Hahah. More than happy to help you with that liberal arts degree

imagine dissing someone for getting an education lmao. there's actually a ton you can do with a liberal arts degree, maybe you should google it before you act so condescending

I've been making so much bourguignon recently that I've started to get sick of it. One good thing about it though is that you can prep it in advance for the week and make mash/gnocchi/pasta as required without it tasting like leftovers. I was looking for something similar to make and came across gumbo. Food from that part of the US always looks good in photos but I've never had the opportunity to try some that was made by someone who knew what they were doing. The closest thing to it that I've tried was one of my attempts at jambalaya, but I put in too much paprika and ruined the flavour of the whole thing. When looking at the recipe for gumbo, I saw that it uses similar spices and also needs roux. I don't store excess oil from my cooking and the thought of mixing flour and frying oil to make the foundation of a dish was . I figured that cuisine from Louisiana is already pretty French so substituting parts of the recipe for more French versions might work out.

Here I started prepping some celery, green peppers, and onion/garlic. I wasn't spoiled for choice in terms of smoked sausage so I just got chorizos.

I also added some chopped up beef chuck steaks

First step is to crisp up the meats

Pop them back in their bowels and start frying up the onion/celery/peppers

Once the onion is looking nice and brown, add in some tubs of tomato paste, crushed tomato, a bottle of Pinot noir, and beef stock

Add the meat and throw it into the oven at 350 for a while.

After 30 mins mine looked like this - OK, but feeling a bit empty. I added some more celery and onion, and also added 7 teaspoons of flour to thicken it up. After that, back in the oven until it has had at least 2 hours cooking time.

This was it at the end. My whole house smelt like a pizza shop and it tasted great. I made some rice to go with it seeing as that's how most do gumbo

In the end, it wasn't that bad! Much better than the jambalaya I had previously made which was done by following a recipe. My only mistake here was in adding some supermarket Cajun seasoning. Just a teaspoon of it changed the smell of the whole thing and I'm curious to try it with any paprika. I also need to find a noncancerous place to look at southern US recipes

What am I supposed to eat with chicken wings now?

!goyslopenjoyers !fat !fatsmellyuglyr-slurs please

i went to mcdonalds and they offer one cone size and it's 330 calories and honestly it's not even that tasty. if i want to eat bad goyslop i at least want there to be more of it so at least some sort of hedonism can be fulfilled

sams club chads please rate the brownie soft serve treat /10

Also did a blue cheese and bacon salad with a simple red wine vinagerette, some roastie potatoes, and smoked sweet corn salad with a cilantro lime dressing

All hand mixed due to lack of power tools. Whipping frosting with a hand whisk is an absolute b-word

Frosting was the choice of cake recipient, I'm a plain jam kind of gyaldem when I do it for myself

I am apparently not great at smoothing frosting with a small butter knife but god gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers so

Secret ingredient is light brown sugar to make it blend better with the cocoa and peanut butter notes in the frosting

!goyslopenjoyers would you?

A friend who homebrews has a huge CO2 tank where he modded his sodastream intake to fit it. Now he doesn't have to bother with those small CO2 tanks they stick you with. I've wanted to curb my soda consumption recently and his set-up is actually really cool. Any seltzer or sparkling water CHADS here with advice?
