So a few small #restaurants in #Astoria are observing the #strike, but not larger more affluent ones in #NYC, let alone rest of the country? At the risk of stating the obvious, #migrant #cooks are vulnerable to #ICE crackdown, and restaurants would not function without migrant #labor

It's October, which means it's almost #Thanksgiving here in #Canada. [1]

One of the traditional meals at Thanksgiving here is turkey. And I thought of that because I roasted a chicken this week. More specifically, I thought about how magical it is that many #chefs and #cooks and plain old folx can carve a #chicken or #turkey and have it come out as beautiful, even slices of white #meat, and lovely whole #drumsticks or wings, or what-have-you.

Because when I carve a bird, it looks like I did it with a #chainsaw. Or possibly a #lawnmower.

[1] Yes, it's ~6 weeks earlier than USA Thanksgiving. For much of Canada, the only harvest we could be grateful for in #November is #snow.

Edit: fix late-night thinko/typo.

Today is the day of Saint #Lawrence of #Rome (31 December 225 - 10 August 258). He is the #patron saint of those who work with open fires (#cooks, #bakers, #brewers, #textile cleaners, #tanners), of those to whom fire means harm (#librarians, #archivists, #miners, #poor people), and of #comedians.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Lawrence

This is a medieval-style drawing of a saint or monk. The man is standing on grass, wearing a long brown robe with wide sleeves and a hood. His hair is short on top with a ring of hair around his head, showing the style called a tonsure. Behind his head is a round halo, drawn as a circle with lines inside. He is holding a book in his left hand, pressed to his chest, and in his right hand he holds a long stick attached to a large grid-shaped object, possibly a grill. The background is filled with red and white flower and vine patterns, making the scene decorative and ornate.

Sen. #AlexPadilla is forcibly removed from #DHS Secretary #KristiNoem's news conference in #LosAngeles

Noem was in L.A. to address the ongoing demonstrations against President Donald #Trump's #immigration policies.

"Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Calif., was forcibly removed from a news conference in Los Angeles on Thursday after trying to question Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem during a press conference related to immigration.

" 'I am Sen. Alex Padilla. I have questions for the secretary,' Padilla said to Noem, which prompted several men to physically push him out of the room. It was unclear who the men were, as several were dressed in plainclothes.

"Padilla's office shared a video of the incident with NBC News. The video shows Padilla being taken into a hallway outside and pushed face forward onto the ground as officers with FBI-identifying vests told the senator to put his hands behind his back. The officers then handcuffed him.

"President Donald Trump's immigration policies — and the administration's handling of demonstrations against those policies — have sparked an outcry in recent days. After protesters clashed with officers from Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Los Angeles on Friday, the president deployed members of the National Guard, and later Marines, to assist local law enforcement. Dozens of demonstrations have taken place across the country in the days that followed.

"Speaking to reporters later Thursday, Padilla said he was receiving a briefing from military officials when he learned Noem was in the same building and decided to join her briefing.

" 'I was there peacefully,' he said. 'At one point, I had a question, and so I began to ask a question. I was almost immediately forcibly removed from the room, I was forced to the ground, and I was handcuffed.'

"He added, 'If this is how this administration responds to a senator with a question, if this is how the Department of Homeland Security responds to a senator with a question, you can only imagine what they’re doing to #FarmWorkers, to #cooks, to #DayLaborers out in the #LosAngeles community and throughout #California and throughout the country.'

Ad shows three chefs making meals for United Airlines. The title is "The Art of Making You Mouth Water"

What does it take to run a leading airline?

“Science!” say United's Operations people, and they talk of
electronic aids, over-the-weather flying, and all the other things
that contribute to United Air Lines’ on-time dependability.

“Service!” say members of the Passenger Service Department.
And as a supreme example they point to United chefs—practitioners
of one of the noblest arts of all: fine cooking!

Natives of Switzerland and France, trained in European
traditions, they have presided over kitchens of famous restaurants
and hotels in many world capitals, Now, as masters of United's flight kitchens, they offer you their cosmopolitan artistry in the finest meals aloft, Tempting appetizers, flaky pastries, savory meats, inviting
desserts — complete full-course meals contribute to your comfort
and enjoyment aboard the Mainliners, No other airline has its own system-wide flight kitchens. No other airline has such chefs!

It takes understanding of human tastes and desires as well as great operating efficiency, art as well as science, to achieve United's high standards of service.

Chef's salad and pilot's smooth, on-time landing—both signify
The Nation’s Number 1 Coast-ro-Coast AIR Line.

For the #cooks out there. Yesterday I bought 3lbs of hamburger, 2 lbs of it is going into a #chili I'm making today. I'm thinking of instead frying the two lbs, of baking it instead.
This hamburger meat is 93% lean, so shouldn't have to worry about a lot of fat.
Would baking the full 3lbs save me time in the long run?
