I've been working as a cook for the last 2 years. I know a few things. I also discovered Poutine and it's the bomb.
We make the gravy using bacon, lamb stock, and chicken stock.
General tips:
If it's meat, drown it in black pepper.
Anchovy or egg enhance the flavor of all soups without altering.
A few recipes for you lovely folks. You only need a blender to make these.
The best spread ever for bread (pretzels esp):

Sounds fancy. It's not.
Literally just blend goat cheese (like, a handful) with whole milk. blend and add milk slowly until a thick cream forms. Thicker than yogurt is key. Add 2-3 pinches of salt to finish.

I've only recently started the paleo way of life (3 weeks) and I'm enjoying the **** off of the benefits so far. Today I had an apple for breakfast and a salad with bacon avacodo bell peppers and jalapeños with balsamic vinaigrette... I wish they had olive oil instead but my choices are limited where I work
I just ate pork roast, mashed potatoes, and field peas. I've had much better lol. I hate to say it but the only time my stepdad's father cooks well, is when he's grilling. The pork roast was too dry and I can't stand dry meat. The gravy didn't even make it any better.
Good news is that I think we're having grilled burgers tomorrow night.
I haven't had it yet, but I'll be having steak tonight. We're just gonna throw them on the barbeque and eat them, but sometimes we marinate them in soy sauce and garlic.

We had steak earlier this week and I marinated them this time. I don't grill them of course but I had never marinated steaks before so I took it upon myself to try it. I used "seasoning" salt, garlic powder, and something in a bottle called "Dale's sauce" lol. I don't know if it's available everywhere or if it's something local but it's great.
And then of course I add some A1 steak sauce to it once it's plated and in front of me. Ugh. I miss that steak lol.
Eating a tomato. Not gonna be home again the next few days so I'm eating as much as I can because I'm very picky and the house I'm going to doesn't have much food I like.

Had some schnitzel that was made for us with potatoes and gravy. I would've actually enjoyed it if the gravy tasted like gravy. The parts of schnitzel that didn't get gravy on it was good, though.
i just spooned a nutella pot. my boss went out to get us some more food too. and then i wonder why im fat and have slight problems with my breathing pattern..
Of course not! every time I eat something I look at the taste value in my head and I eat what I feel will be less enjoyable first and save the best for last....every time.
