“Just move the chicken out of the way if you need to use that cutting board.”
Very funny! Good way to start my morning.
Love these! Though I must admit I do use low-fat buttermilk or condensed skim milk instead of cream and try to keep butter to the minimum possible. The rest fit me pretty much to a T!
I needed a good laugh thank you
How about “Get out of my kitchen!” And I gotta admit I am not a chef but even if I were I would not check out the waitresses… maybe if they were waiters…
Don’t pre-heat the pan, just add the oil.
These are great! And so true! Thanks for posting them. Here are a few more:
“Go ahead and use my kinfe to cut the cardboard boxes.”
“I love cooking well done filet mignon.”
“You nicked yourself with your kinfe? Go ahead and take the day off.”
“You would like a break in the middle of the rush? That’s fine.”
Very clever!
This dietitian is cracking up over, “Please use skim milk instead of heavy cream” and several others. Very fun post.
” Go ahead and substitute that margarine for butter”
I LOVE it when the gluten free crowd asks for a pasta special…oh and Vegetarians
Very fun! Although I live in “Earthy” Asheville and know a couple of chefs that would forbid foie gras. Their lose!
This is hilarious!
“Just season it at the end.”
“Jarred garlic? That’ll do.”
