For those who don't find either direction particularly appealing... Summertime discussion-only

Short shorts.

That is all.

...the fragrance of the linden trees in bloom
and your windows open so the scent wafts through your room...

cause it's summer, summertime is here
yes it's summer, my time of year...

I've been working on mastering BBQ (or really technically grilled) chicken this summer. It was always one of my favorite things in the world but I always overcooked it in fear of being undercooked. So I think I've grilled it about 7 times so far this summer, and the trick is brining the chicken, and owning a decent meat thermometer. The beauty of chicken is that I can have 2-3 days worth of food for like $6.

Thermometer?!? Thermometers are for simps...

What is a meat thermometer?

Interesting. Every professional cook I know uses one, to the point where they keep them on them at most times while working.

$25/hour? @#!*% , I interviewed and was hired for such a job about seven years ago at about $15/hour but turned it down because it just didn't seem worth it.

Don't know about other places but here it's 80% of your normal hourly.
