T.S.

@pyramidwoodwork @ChefGruel Walk into Calico on the PCH and apply. Chef or his lovely wife will likely be there. I’ve met them and they are no BS people.

@ChefGruel I'm 35 and live in CA.. I'll drop everything and go back to washing dishes for 80k a year I call bullshit. I live in Sacramento where do I apply?

Our dishwasher is one of the highest-paid positions in the restaurant. If a line cook calls out, you always have 2-3 that can cover. If a server calls out, others can take more tables. If a dishwasher calls out, the entire restaurant is at a standstill. It's easily an 80K per year job in CA.

@hotmesshomeschl The sesame oil is good. The Organic bread and butter pickles are excellent. Some things they always have, others are seasonal. Their cheese selection is decent: French brie, Roquefort, Swiss Gruyère etc at good $. Bakery items are hit or miss. Butter, sour cream is good $.

@hotmesshomeschl Spend time and look closely at a lot of the condiments, oils, vinegars, etc. They are generally very high quality at a good price. For example, mandarin oranges from Spain (not China), authentic Dijon mustard from Dijon, aged balsamic well priced, canned wild Alaskan salmon.

I’m going to Trader Joe’s for the first time this next week. What are your favs? What do I need? It has to make the 3ish hour drive home in a cooler.

@Half_A_Pond Just remember that volts x amps = watts. Your frig and freeze are both 120 volt (unless it is commercial walk-in) Look up how many amps your units pull. (find manual online) Usually a freezer or frig will pull 5-6 amps but could pull as many as 10-11 on start up…..

Can anyone smarter than me tell me if one of these Harbor Freight inverter generators will power one refrigerator or freezer at a time? Might need to make a run 😬

Wonderful meal @CalicoFishHouse ! Thank you @LaurenGruel and @ChefGruel for such a fabulous experience.

@bettanneta I loved this piece. It made me feel like I actually met your wonderful parents. I use a lot of the items they reviewed and your parents comments are spot on. You’ve inspired me to make some Greek food soon. Cheers! and have a great weekend.

Wanna know which Greek Trader Joe's products are actually worth buying? I had my Greek parents try 15 different items to find out which ones they loved and which ones they hated — and they didn't hold back🇬🇷insider.com/trader-joes-gr…

@TexasAustyn Lamb. I love to serve it with homemade pesto.

@ChefGruel @curiousjustin74 Chef, to slow roast for reverse sear, what temp do you use for the slow roast?

@curiousjustin74 I don’t like sous vide. I slow roast in oven then sear

Guess who never called me for a donation...

@OCFA_PIO Done.

The fire family at OCFA is overwhelmed by the outpouring of support that people in the community are demonstrating for our two injured firefighters. We have received endless requests to help the injured men. Here’s two ways you can help:

@Joeyz123 @OCFA_PIO Here is what I found: Fallen Firefighters Relief Fund gofundme.com/f/orange-count… Wildland Firefighting Foundation Wffoundation.org

@TSInsurance @OCFA_PIO Agreed these men protected my home in my time of need i would love to repay them somehow

At approximately 12:15 pm this afternoon two OCFA Handcrew members were critically injured fighting the #SilveradoFire. Aged 26 and 31, both are covered in second and third degree burns and are currently intibated. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.

@OCFA_PIO These are what I found that are to firefighters as 11-99 is to CHP: Fallen Firefighters Relief Fund gofundme.com/f/orange-count… Wildland Firefighting Foundation Wffoundation.org

@OCFA_PIO Do you have a foundation much like CHP has the 11-99 foundation? Please let me know. I would love to lead a donation drive when this is over. We want to express our appreciation of these wounded heros in meaningful way.

@OCFA_PIO Thank you for the update and especially thank you for the hard work saving our homes. Is there any way to provide an estimate as to when we might be able to return to Orchard Hills? A day? Multiple days?
