Title: No tip when you work for family members :(
Post by: sparky on March 27, 2013, 06:56:52 PM
found that out the hard way.  so my son (who has moved back into our house  :'( ) just got a raise to manager of a electronics store.  sunday was his 1st inventory.  its a big deal.  3 other store managers come over along w/ his employees.  normally they just get straw hat pizza (icky).  so my son ask if I could cook some bbq for everyone on sunday night.  he hands me a few twenties and ask if that will do it.  nope.  going to need a couple more.  ok, I now got $80 and going to the bev mo (can't cook bbq w/out a stogie and a FT).  then to Costco for food.

okie dokie.  got a Davidoff 2000 and a six pack of FT.  were good to cook now. 

I started a butt the night before for myself so I will give this one to my son.  frozen solid (thinking of STC).

When did you get the second 1 star?

well, I ended up selling my mak 2 star and the two 1 stars I had by accident.  so I got another 1 star from my local dealer.  one of the 1 stars I sold was brought back to me from the guy who bought it because his wife said he only used it twice in 6 months or so and he went out and bought a $3k gas grill.  his wife was pissed.  made him bring the mak back to me and I didn't have to give him any money for it.  cool huh.

if I have a few ribs to cook I always cook on the top rack.  just habit.  i almost never cook in the bottom rack unless i'm cooking a lot of food.   8)

Electric Cambro?   Tell me more about this critter....

welp, i use to do some cooking for ppl.  a regular cambro gets hot by putting hot towels or a pan of boiling water in them to get the insides hot.  while catering i have to keep the food above 140° or i'm screwed (food needs to be below 34° and above 140°.  anything else is bad juju).  the electric cambro i got from a restaurant supply house.  $500 or so w/ the rolling stand.  i love it.  i can get it above 140 so i can travel w/ warm food.  its also great when i have a party here i can keep a lot of food hot and when ppl are done i put it back in the cambro until their hungry again.  a wonderful thing to have.  it also keeps my beer cold when i'm not suppose to have any.  the inside also keeps my brandy and cognac warm on those cold weekend morning when i need cooking food outside.  some ppl put vodka in freezers.  me, brandy and cognac in the cambro.  no ones knows about this.  don't tell my family.   :-X
