one of my favorite games to play whenever i rewatch the bear is “spot the very realistic health code/basic kitchen rule violations”

so far my favorite is one of the ones i’ve never seen mentioned: how often people wear their aprons outside the kitchen, which is absolutely a no-no and equally absolutely happens all the goddamned time and i am speaking from a lot of experience on that one

you know what, I actually will talk about this because it's bothering me. The issue with focussing so heavily on syd and carmy's potential for a romantic relationship isn't that there's something inherently unintellectual about romance or whatever, it's that a lot of people seem incapable of doing that without immediately flattening the story and ignoring or intentionally misreading any and all nuance for the sake of that romance. Every scene suddenly becomes about how it impacts their relationship, every analysis is done through a romantic lens, every frame or line of dialogue becomes about finding some easter egg or hint that "proves" these people should start dating. Their dynamic is absolutely a fundamental part of this show, but if you can only see it as a will-they-won't-they, you miss so much of what the story is actually trying to say with these two.

There are good versions of this story where their relationship is romantic and there are good versions of this story where it isn't, but as soon as you decide them being together is "the point," you lose the ability to actually judge the story for what it is, not what you want it to be.

connor dewar/brandon duhaime :: 8k

Summary:

“Brandon,” Connor says with a sigh. “There’s no baby in there.”

“Not yet,” Brandon says. Connor feels his stomach twist, almost like what he would imagine a baby kicking to feel like.

It's always interesting to hear about people's weird/unexpected "alternate life paths". Like, something that you could have done with your life, a job you almost took, a school you almost went to, etc - that was still actually realistic enough that it could have happened, but NOW it seems to not suit your current personality.

Like for example, I currently hate advertising (how manipulative it is, brands trying to be 'relatable', social media amplifying it to an obnoxious extreme, etc.) so much that even seeing a little ad before a youtube video is grating to even witness, but there was a point in time where I was genuinely seriously considering going into marketing/making commercials as a career lol. Or like, I have a relative who was very inclined to be a pastor when they were younger, even though today they're a super strong atheist, etc. etc.

more fun job updates i no longer have the budget to be spending $20/week on the bus getting there and back but thankfully there is a free tram line i can take but it does add a 15 min walk both there & back to my apt so +30 min to my commute. also they are essentially gentle firing the most experienced employee they have (3 years there) bc she hasn’t been selling enough items per transaction (2.8 instead of 3) even tho she has the most actual sales of like anyone & also is their only “key holder” (essentially a manager who doesn’t get paid a manager salary or work full time hours). meanwhile they are training me & another employee to take on extra manager tasks without giving us pay raises to reflect the increased responsibilities. also we are chronically understaffed so i am picking up a shift for a coworker next week which means i will be working 8 days in a row. & they are trying to hire 4 new employees currently but have rejected 80+ applicants because their standards are insanely high despite this being a part time job that pays $14/hr. also the key holder who’s getting fired while they scramble to hire enough people to cover their asses told me she only makes $14.60 despite being there three years and, again, essentially being a manager. & another employee is leaving so soon they will only have 5 part time employees to cover all their shifts when they are open 7 days a week 10 hours a day. and 3 of us are in school and will need to like. halve our hours once the semester starts. and the other 2 have multiple jobs. so. very excited to watch everything go to shit over the next few months xx

I enjoy watching The Bear but it’s a wild feeling to feel like you’re wasting time with only 10 30 minute episodes

Literally the only thing holding me back from throwing all of my carefully laid plans to the wind and running away to go to culinary school is the fact that I would have to wear a hairnet for the rest of my life and I refuse.

Sigeumchi-Namul/Korean-seasoned Spinach is so damn good and I really need to just start making some and leaving it in the fridge to eat through the week, cause it's so low-spoon and keeps well and is delicious cold~

Just blanch some spinach (boil for 30s-1m minutes then rinse in ice cold water or run under cold water tap), press the excess water out of it (either squeeze it with your hands or find some good weight to press it with. I'm thinking leave the spinch in a strainer in the sink and put a glass bowl full of water on top of it but i haven't tried yet). You might want to bunch it into a cube and chop it a few times (the amount of chops depending on how big a batch you've cooked).

Then season it with soy sauce (or coconut aminos and maybe add salt if soy-free), toasted sesame oil, toasted sesame seeds, minced garlic, chopped green onion, and, optionally, add some gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes) or silgochu (shredded Korean red pepper) if you want some heat. Even regular black pepper is good in it if you don't like the spicy pepper heat.

I haven't tried, but it probably works well with frozen spinach too, just thaw it according to directions and then season as above. Probably takes longer to thaw than cook, but easier on clean up that way.

The amount of seasoning will depend on how big a batch you make, but start low then add more. Sesame oil is strongly flavored so start with a tsp. Maybe about .25 more soy sauce than sesame oil, but your taste will vary. It should taste nutty from the sesame oil and a bit salty.
