  • Growing up in Oklahoma there were two dishes that confused me as a child.

    Cranberry salad was a bowl of strawberry jello with cranberries and pecans with a layer of cool whip on top.

    There was also always sweet potato casserole which was a tray of thick slices of sweet potato covered in maple syrup, sprinkled with brown sugar, and marshmallows placed on top before baking the entire thing.

    And yes both were served with the savoury food, and yes there was always 10 different pies, ice cream, an assortment of cookies, and homemade caramels for dessert afterwards.

    Looking back, it explains why every single male in the family was overweight.




  • I was a bar manager and used to get a flood of applicants every time I needed to hire people. I wasn’t particularly picky since I was always happy to train people up to my standards since I usually had to untrain bad habits anyways, so I would only schedule one interview at a time and generally just hired the first person I interviewed to save myself the work unless their vibes were off.

    The one time I interviewed someone where I thought “damn he’s hot asf”, seemed nice, could answer my questions and he was experienced in the role, so I hired him on the spot. I have never had to fire someone so fast. Dude lost his shit at another bartender for bumping into him, I gave him a warning and told him it would be his only one. Shit happens, it’s a tight space.

    Then a customer that was smoking in the alley after we shut asked him a question as we were leaving and he said “why the fuck are you talking to me”. Had to tell him not to bother coming in for his next shift…
