The Not’cho Cheeze game might have ended as soon as it began! Here’s some real talk for a second…
I’ve been one broken piece of equipment from going out of business for a moment, and this week, both my food processor tanked (the part is back ordered, at least 3 weeks out!), and now my stick blender has died.
After cooking 40 lbs of taders & carrots this morning, I found my Robocoup dead, but I wasn’t about to throw it all away! I used my little immersion blender to the point of smoking, putting in the freezer every few minutes to cool it down, limping along, doing whatever it takes to get Cheeze into your Cheeze holes.
I do know someone who has a commercial stick blender that I might be able to borrow on the short term in order to use up ingredients (cuz nooch is hella exPENsive). So, if you love the Not’cho Cheeze, I would recommend not sleeping on it, because its end is in the very near future.
A lot of you already know I’m in a pretty volatile kitchen situation, working graveyard to avoid said ‘situation’. The getting up at midnight, & having to leave the kitchen (& my home) as soon as the situation wakes up (cuz he starts boozing it up as soon as he wakes), the not being able to come home until after he passes out, the not knowing what I’m returning home to, the living in a van (down by the river), it’s getting hard y’all. This might be the cosmos trying to force me onto the next stage in life.
Today I’ll work on updating my resume & start looking for one of those real jobs. Who’s hiring?
