RE: Chef's Rant
Sorry that I couldn't find a more gentle Irish saying, but they are all pretty much straight to the point. I do have some very good Irish toasts and a couple blessings when needed. The others are always much more fun though!
Yeah, definitely listen to your wife on the multiples thing. The first 3 months with the twins was HELL!!! My wife and I took turns one night on the weekend sleeping with ear plugs and letting the other do all of the night work with the kids. That was the only night of the week that I got some sort of sleep. Although, you could still hear the kids cry through the plugs.[:@] Good luck with children, and I'm glad that I'm past all of that now. I get the really big problems and troubles from here on out![&:] LOL
Oh, the car...is home and working great, except, I curbbed one of the front tires on Saturday night.[:@] My wife was in the car with me and explained how grateful she was that I was the one who did it. My own fault, and I was trying to squeeze over enough so the person next to me wouldn't scratch my car. Sucks![:'(] The coilovers have been moved back to a June 8th ship date. It seems that the part companies like to make wait.
Other than that, all is well in my world...at the moment.
How are things on the other side of the country? You wife break any news to you yet?[sm=yikesomg.gif]
Cheers!

RE: Chef's Rant
I like that one.
Two more also apply to me very well:
One is for my mod reasoning: 'Tis better to spend money like there's no tomorrow than to spend tonight like there's no money!
&
The other is for my chef skills: 'Don't make little of your dish for it may be an ignorant fellow who judges it.'
LOL

RE: Chef's Rant
[sm=funnypostabove.gif]Good ones, the first one I knew from many visits to our local Irish pub... The second one is awesome, especially coming from a chef.
Still, Chef, you added a little something to your sig and you expected us not to say anything??? Not me buddy, not me...
Roughly translated as “Take the world nice and easy, and the world will take you the same.” Your metro sexual side is showing off again? This is pretty fruity thing to say for an Irish guy living in LA… So I searched the internet and found one that I liked (not certain if this is the way to spell it as people were arguing about how to spell it correctly): “go dtitfeadh seacht mbuicéad chac ar do cheann” lol
[sm=joke.gif]
Ouch – you are just accumulating things! I did the same thing but to my wife’s car with her twin sister as a witness [:@]…
**** just does not happen with you, it piles up!!!! I am laughing but it is not funny. I am sorry.
No news is good news I guess…
Keep us updated and hopefully you will have some good news and pics sometime in June ! [sm=signs003.gif]

Olivier, that wasn't very nice, but very funny! I guess that the filters don't work for Gaelic?
BUT, I think JohnS1's line is very good for this forum, and well suited for an Irish Chef. The French term 'mise en place', is the creed that we Chefs live by, but the Irish may have spelled it out much more plainly. I think it works for most every situation.
Sig changed!
Cheers!

HaHa thats not a nice phrase to say! (seven buckets)
HaHa thats not a nice phrase to say! (seven buckets)
A little bird was flying south for the winter. It got so cold it froze up and fell to the ground in a large field.
While it was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on it. As it lay there in the pile of cow dung, it began to realize how warm it was. The dung was actually thawing him out! He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy.
A passing cat heard the little bird singing, and came to investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out-and then ate him.
The morals of the story are:
1. Not everyone who drops **** on you is your enemy.
2. Not everyone who gets you out of **** is your friend.
3. When you're in deep ****, keep your mouth shut!

What kind of Chef are you? I am actually being serious for once. Do you specialize in any sort of cuisine? I have not seen a lot of Irish restaurants....Taverns [sm=icon_guiness.gif]yes, restaurants, hum no. Sorry, I cannot be serious for more than a minute tough... If you say French I will roll over laughing! [sm=icon_rofl.gif]I know you make house call, but how much is it to get you to drive your A3 down here, cook us a meal and let us ride in your car? The most important being the last one.
I guess I should be a lot nicer to you before asking you things, no? Sorry, no can do. You know what they say about the French… Personally, I do my best to uphold the tradition… It is not my fault, I am a traditionalist!

I think that goes, "May the cat eat you, then the cat be eaten by the devil"
That's a great old Irish curse. Don't you know any good Irish phrases??? BTW, you French just don't get it, because the Irish are so much more mentally advanced than the rest of the world. I remember reading the Freud said that the Irish were the only group with whichphsycoanalysis didn't work. That must mean that we think on a higher level than the rest of society.
^ See my response to JohnS1 – nope does not work!

I'm open for the drive down and cooking for you. Sounds most excellent!!! If you were in Chicago then I might barter for some good Bear's tickets, but Florida??? You will be paying the normal rate. It would probably be cheaper for you and your wife to fly out here, eat at my home, then go for a ride. My going rate is $100/hr + all necessary expenses. I'd have to work out the car mileage thing, but it is around $.435 per mile I think. That would be one very expense trip for you to flip. That'sover $2000in just vehicle reimbursement!!! I might cut that down because I love to drive, but that's a lot of time away from work, and you'd probably want me to cook some horrible French dish.........so maybe it's not worth it??? LOL
BTW, I really love French, the food, not the people![:-]

The Mouse on the Barroom Floor [align=left] Some Guinness was spilled on the barroom floor
when the pub was shut for the night.
Out of his hole crept a wee brown mouse
and stood in the pale moonlight.
He lapped up the frothy brew from the floor,
then back on his haunches he sat.
And all night long you could hear him roar,
'Bring on the goddam cat!'[/align]

After Chef's apology I will be waiting for yours, since I have proven that my intentions were pure.... Anytime now and you cannot use Chef's "apology" either.
"NĂ* dhĂ©anfaidh smaoineamh an treabhadh duit." - very apropos. Here is another one I found that I liked, only an Irish could come out with this one: "Go n-ithe an cat thĂş, is go n-ithe an diabhal an cat".

the response would be "Nuair atá an cat amuigh bĂ*onn na luch ag damhsa"
And here's one for you Olivier
