I have a jerb! I applied for dishwasher/food prep job, and got it. I was thinking "Food prep? I've cut raw veg a bunch before. Kale, and such, right?" I get there, and it's like "Naw dawg, you gotta make Creme Anglais. Also, Creme Brulee. And do dishes." So now I can make Creme Anglais. It's a real pain in the ass, but I can do it.

My first job when I moved to town was a line cook at a popular college bar and grill. My respect for the guys and girls in the kitchen grew exponentially in those six months. Unbelievably demanding and, frankly thankless, line of work. You have to really love the art of cooking. But at least now I can create more than Poptarts in a kitchen. Good luck to you.
