what to do with the coffee pucks ejected by your fancy coffee machine?... you can make wonderful deserts out of them.. like this one topped with whipped cream...
I guess my $50 Costco espresso machine is crap because used grinds aren't ejected in a puck like in the picture. Time to get one of them fancy italian jobbies!
I wonder how a flavored coffee puck might taste? Flavored!?
I just sent my wife off to Ethipoia & Northern Kenya, where they grow Arabica coffe. There is NOTHING quite like getting beans that have been picked, dried, roasted, and delivered to your door, all within two weeks. (it takes Starbucks three months, at best). Who wants some?
Erik, is this serious? Where the hell did you get this?
This is probably one of the oldest nd best restaurant gags/pranks to play in the kitchen. But it never stops being funny. I have even gone so far as to dip these in white chocolate, drizle them with coulis and put a strawberry fan on top. Servers love them....
Take a dude's straw out of his drink.... fill it up with hot sauce, fish sauce, mop water, etc... Cap the end with your finger so it doesn't drain out, and slide it back in his drink... It's called 'loading the panzer'... That first sip is a doozy..
I love being a chef. Very rewarding..
As for jobs e-rox, have you considered culinary school?
i want to study the culinary arts and one day study under a great master and challenge the iron chefs of every nation until i have the level to compete in the kitchen arena of the great chairman kaga in japan... and become myself the one iron chef by vanquishing them all... i will master all styles and combine them into the "one way" which may defeat all styles...
it's easy to get a real job and skate through life carefree and secure. but, it's much more difficult and rewarding to do what you like, when you like, and have someone pay you to do it. the best hookers treat their job like a hobby, not a proffession.

Parke- I'd like some!! Ethiopia is where this whole coffee thing started- truly old school!
Visine is a mild surfectant, you get the same effect (but worse) with detergent. My uncle has an amusing story about getting thrown in the clink after feeding the coastguard chipped beef on his boat. (Accidentally?)
I'll mark you down, how much you want? You want to roast the green beans yourself or you want 'em Arabica style from the motherland? Get my email from Erik and I'll hook you up.

Oh, well in that case I'll just rush right into my kitchen and eat ten of them...
It's what happens when you retire and have no $$. Desert becomes something you would normally have thrown out.
If you have milk that's gone really bad, you could use it instead of the whipped cream.
Other kitchen pranks...

Sorry Erik... It's clear to me that you don't need any more coffee. I'm staging an intervention.
I'll give you a restaurant job E-rok...
Opening day is about 3.5 yrs out tho...
Plenty of time to get some experience or education.
We are going global soul food with a south world twist.
Think:
US south + caribbean + tuscany + vietnam/thailand + n.africa + japan + south france/iberian peninsula
What about Comchatka?
