Mitch Cronin Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 Years ago, a friend of mine worked on fire crews in the bush in northern BC. The cook was a huge 300 lb girl with a voice to match who couldn't cook worth a damn. He learned very quickly to leash his tongue when it came to comments on the food... "Good beans" is something he found worth saying. I understand the potential for damage in excessive negativity, so maybe I should be saying to AC upper management... Good beans. (?) Trouble is, I get the feeling nobody's listening, or if they are, maybe they just can't cook either? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neo Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 There's an old camping rule: the first one to complain about the cooking does it for the rest of the trip. "This stew tastes like moose &%$@!! But gooood moose &%$@!!" neo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Cronin Posted July 21, 2003 Author Share Posted July 21, 2003 I'd love to be the "cook" for the rest of this trip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 Mitch, never stop compaining about the beans, it is like slapping your forehead, at first it does not hurt but do it for awhile and you will get a headache. Keep complaining to the cooks, they will either learn to cook or give you a bean enima. BTW, that gun that management has pointed at you, is full of blanks.

Mitch Cronin Posted July 21, 2003 Author Share Posted July 21, 2003 So they have me in their sights, do they? For speaking truth? Or are you just guessing? ... lemme chew on that bit of meat for a while... ... First: that's a bullet I'll take if I have to... Truth needs to be told. The bloody Emperor isn't flipping dressed and someone needs to say it! Secondly: Mmmmm, good beans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Cronin Posted July 21, 2003 Author Share Posted July 21, 2003 Robert... I think you might have missed it... it's not the beans that one would complain about... They're fine. It's the rest of the meal that tastes like moose droppings. So, the idea is, instead of saying, "This meat is terrible" or whatever, you look at what's not so terrible and say... "Mmmmm, good beans". As for your BTW... I doubt anyone really has me in their sights, but I can assure you that wouldn't stop me from trying to fix what's wrong. Cheers, Mitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
