Open Question: how do you preserve injera?

Sunday, December 25th, 2011

I bought some injera from an ethiopian restaurant and overestimated the quantity and now have a lot of extra “bread” left over. I love ethiopian food and don’t want it to go to waste. My question is will it still taste okay if I freeze it in the freezer and thaw it in the microwave with a paper towel? How long will it stay before it starts to spoil? Any other ideas on how to warm the injera up without making it soggy?
Thanks! :)

Open Question: Dealing with a difficult and lazy employee?

Tuesday, November 16th, 2010

I’m a manager at a restaurant. It is a small business so a cook’s responsibility entails cooking, prep and cleaning. Most restaurants have separate people to do this but not here. The main cook here is awful.

He thinks he’s too good to do cleaning so when there’s no food to cook, he’ll just stand there. If I tell him to get to work he’ll say he is waiting for a food order. He is dirty. He’s been spoken to about this many times and it will either improve for bit or he’ll just ignore the comment. His plate presentation is usually messy with greasy finger-prints all over the plates. He is rude to other co-workers and if there is any sort of mistake with the food order he will ALWAYS blame everyone but himself. He hardly does any work but goes out of his way to complain when anyone else has even slightly slacked off.

He has been talked to many times but he’ll either find excuses for how it’s not really a problem or becomes childish and spends the rest of the day sulking. Even when I DO manage to get him to do something other than cook, it’s done half-as.sed. Like putting away food deliveries - he’ll just place the product randomly in the freezer and then I spend 30 minutes re-organizing everything anyway.

The only thing that is good about him is that when the restaurant becomes busy, he is able to cook orders fast. Much faster than any other cook.

Like I said it is a small business and he is the only main cook. So even if I were to can him, a replacement would be hard to find. In the many years that I have worked there, we have had maybe 1 out of 10 people who were good. And those people quit and move on to better-paying jobs.

Any advice? On how to either deal with him or find a good replacement?

Open Question: Is it okay to eat salmon sashimi that has been frozen for a week?

Friday, September 24th, 2010

I’ve got a piece of salmon in the freezer, and planning on eating it as a sashimi. It has been stored for over a week now, bought it at my supermarket. We don’t get labels such as sushi grade here, but sushi restaurants buy it from the same store too. Do I just clean it (wash and dry) and eat it straight away?

Open Question: Is there some way to avoid cooking (cleaning) for the next month?

Thursday, August 26th, 2010

Here is the situation: My boyfriend and I are going to be spending a lot of time working for the next month, maybe 2 months. We’re talking like like 80-90 hours a week. But the main thing is that this is also going to involve lots of weird hours, pulling all nighters, working through standard meal times, that kind of thing. This started this week and I’m a little confused how to deal with the seemingly basic problem of feeding myself.

Some info: We live in a European city where eating out regularly is not really an option. It’s very expensive. Also, we will (with the long work hours) be working well after things (restaurants, grocery stores) have already closed. So we can go to the grocery store maybe 1-2 times a week. We’d like to eat at least kind of healthy. I don’t want to feel ashamed if my mother asks me what I had for dinner. Our fridge and freezer (especially freezer) are small. The reason I mention where we live is that when I lived in America this was easy. There are late night restaurants/fast food joints, grocery stores are open late, convenience items are a lot easier to come by (decent frozen meals available even at regular grocery stores), and I had a comparatively massive fridge and freezer. But now I don’t have those options, so I don’t know what to do.

I guess what I am looking for here is a sort of novel solution about the food problem. I mean, we do have to eat. But it literally feels like there is no time, not just for preparation, but for actual purchase of food as well.

What do you do to avoid cooking? Any specific meals that you turn to? Or do you have a good system of avoiding cooking? I thought about freezing meals but our freezer is small and we basically have 1 day off. I don’t want to spend it slaving together in the kitchen to generate food for the rest of the week. I would love ideas on at least somewhat healthy meals that can be made in less than 20 mins without a ton of chopping or shopping. 1 pot-bowl-plate meals also appreciated, since it’s fewer things to wash. We’re not picky eaters.

And if you have some tips on keeping the apartment reasonably tidy you can throw those in as well.

Oh, and I would really appreciate strategies or meals that you’ve actually tried, not just a recipe off the internet!

Open Question: O.K. a few more jokes for everyone?

Thursday, May 13th, 2010

(1)A guy walking downtown on an early Sunday morning had to take a crap really, really bad. With no bathrooms or business places open yet he squatted down and took a crap on the sidewalk when he spotted a police officer in the distance walking the beat. The guy quickly threw his hat over the s**t and held his hat tightly when the cop walked upon him. What’s under the hat? Asked the officer, I have the fastest thing in the world under this hat replied the guy. Well let me see it said the cop, oh no, no, no said the guy if I move my hat it’ll get away, no it won’t said the cop getting down on one knee. Tell you what, you raise your hat and ill grab it. O.k. said the guy but its fast and its going to get away! On the count of three said the cop, the police officer placed his hand beside the hat, ready! 1, 2, 3 the guy lifted his hat at the same time the officer swiped. I told you I had the fastest thing in the world exclaimed the guy it’s done s**t in your hand and ran!!!

(2)An elderly lady bought a talking parrot from a pet store but the pet shop owner neglected to tell her it used to belong to a bad a$$ motorcycle gang. On arriving back at the elderly lady’s house the parrot looked around and said, holy s**t lady nice house! This made the woman mad and she stuck the parrot in the refrigerator, before long she felt bad and took the parrot out. Moments later the parrot said, what the hell did you do that for? This time the lady was outraged and stuck the parrot in the freezer, after a few minutes the parrot’s eyes became adjusted to the dark where he spotted a frozen turkey in the corner, leaned over to the turkey and said, s**t bro what did you say!

The Nun in Hooters
(3)
A nun, badly needing to use the restroom, walked into a local Hooters.
The place was hopping with music and loud conversation and every
Once in a while ‘the lights would turn off.’
Each time the lights would go out, the place would erupt into cheers.
However, when the revelers saw the nun, the room went dead silent.
She walked up to the bartender, and asked, ‘May I please use the
Restroom? The bartender replied, ‘OK, but I should warn you that there is a
Statue of a naked man in there wearing only a fig leaf.’
Well, in that case, I’ll just look the other way,’ said the nun.
So the bartender showed the nun to the back of the restaurant.
After a few minutes, she came back out, and the whole place stopped
Just long enough to give the nun a loud round of applause. !
She went to the Bartender and said, ’Sir, I don’t understand. Why did
They applaud for me just because I went to the restroom?’
Well, now they know you’re one of us,’ said the bartender, ‘Would you
Like a drink?’ No thank you, but, I still don’t understand,’ said the puzzled nun. ‘You see,’ laughed the bartender, ‘every time someone lifts the fig
Leaf on that statue, the lights goes out. Now, how about that drink?
