I just brought Steve (my sourdough starter) out of hypersleep (aka the freezer).
And we’re having a power-cut tonight for line maintenance.
If you don’t hear from me again, well…
You’ll know what happened.
@ayankdownunder I’m reminded of the nicest, most inept line cook I ever had, who was some kind of weird Ultra Mormon, and he would make us all sourdough starters which he’d give Mormon-y names to as personal gestures and we’d all neglect them and they’d died in the fridges of the restaurant.
@ayankdownunder later on, he tried roasting his own coffee beans and he’d earnestly hand you these cups of black coffee and say “this is Burundi summer berry mixed with Columbia summit old growth” or some such thing and it would be the worst cup of coffee you ever had, but he was such a stand up positive guy overall.
@Chriskorvela he sounds like a kind soul. It’s a shame when the spirit is there, but not the skill.
@ayankdownunder he was fantastically enthusiastic but kind of got murdered at the company via the Peter Principle…you are really good at your existing job, so they promote you until you’re bad at it. Last I saw him he was moving back to the Philippines to get married and I hope he’s happy and healthy forever.
@Chriskorvela amen to that.🥂❤️
