Today's Disaster...:-(

[pastafreak]

Prepping lunch at work today...making a GIANT tray of corn beef hash. My corned beef and potatoes were cubed and I was about to put in some lightly sweated onions...
...and then time stood still as that giant tray tipped over,and 99% of lunch for 25 landed on the floor. Oh how I wanted to turn the clock back...and the whole accident was witnessed by several clients.
My Monday had been going well until then....

[fraser]

I like corned beef hash!! Don't worry I bet it still tasted nice!!x

[pastafreak]

Nobody was tasting it after it had landed on the floor!

[DTCwordfan]

was it on thyme?

[pastafreak]

*groan..*

[DTCwordfan]

so what did you do, pasta....?

[-Talbot-]

What sort of clients are waiting for a portion of corn beef hash?

[wolf63]

Clients who appreciate good food

[jourdain2]

Oh, pasta, what a nightmare. What did you do?

[Mamyalynne]

What a damn shame, these things happen.

What was Plan B?

[Lie-in King]

Does the 5-second rule not apply in mass-catering situations?

[pastafreak]

"What sort of clients?"...homeless...elderly...rough sleepers
They got Fray Bentos pies instead...they love them....plus saute potatoes and green beans.

[pastafreak]

@ Lie-in King....not when the accident has been witnessed...lol
Our kitchen is open for all to see....damn!

[jourdain2]

That's called thinking on your feet, pasta, aka 'panic'! Well done!

[-Talbot-]

I knew that you helped the homeless etc but was thrown by use of the word client.

[pastafreak]

It was one of those " life flashing before your eyes" moments....

[pastafreak]

Talbot...some call them " service users"...I hate that.

[marval]

Oh I feel for you, glad you were able to do something else.

[ladybirder]

For me pasta it would have all gone into slow motion as my brain struggled to compute what I had done. What a shame, I bet the local dog rescue would have made good use of it.

[pastafreak]

We do get dogs in...with their owners. But unfortunately a co- worker had whisked it all into the bin straight away.

[Lie-in King]

Sack the co-worker! I'd have eaten it... ;-)
