No, I have never been to Idaho That's why I rather make questions than doing assumptions!

Peachcreek, still. They drive you crazy my friend!

Let them go and hire someone you can teach him/her the way you think right!

Heh Ath... you should come travel the American Midwest sometime. It DOES have its charm. I used to work in a small town. I did many interviews. Here's a snapshot out of a typical interview:

Kuan: How much experience do you have?

Interviewee: Been cooking all my life, about 35 years.

Kuan: Tell me what you know about sauces.

Interviewee: Well, at our last job, we made both kinds. White AND brown!

Default Yikes!

Last week I had a person come in and apply for a job because they had volunteered in a shelter/soup kitchen before and that we must be doing the same thing!

I think both of you made your point clear...

that's how we all started somehow, cooking, yeah I like that how hard can it be, let me find out more. At some point reality does set in, but at some point the bug hits you too. Come on now, we do it for the love of cooking. Don't we? I know I'm not doing it for the money. Are you?

When I was at a four star restaurant, I went through two weeks of having my nine pan full of sliced chives thrown into the stock pot, because they weren't perfect You know what I can now slice a pound of chives and each slice is identical, no chunks.

At the same time, it's only food. We're not trying to save the world.

But then again, a culinary grad, it's now your personal responsiblilty that they learn about it. haze. haze. haze.
They leave a dirty knive out overnight. freeze it.

Sure we place our own challenges in front of ourselves. Is your responsibillity to nurture. Probably not. But then again they came to you to learn and work.

Good luck and have fun with 'em.
who knows you may learn from them
