Okay, new topic.

I've been cooking about 85% of my meals and homemade is so much better. Anyone have any recipes they love?

Hosin sauce and rice is a new favorite. Pineapple in quesadillas is actually pretty good.

Think about years between services. Seriously, they DO NOT CARE about your well being. They ONLY care about saving money.

This.
Applies to big business in a nutshell.

I mean that it can take years to clear or finalize a claim. That includes ongoing treatment etc.

Watching Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer and Yukon Cornelius is definitely an operator. Inserts via dogsled and with help from locals defeats an enemy, saves the town, and doesn't take credit for it.

I made it six days fighting off the nasty bug and it hit me tonight. No vomiting yet, I can handle this if I dont vomit.

Really the worst part is I have the girls by myself for the next two days.

Used my new Ninja Foodi Tendercrisp (air fryer/pressure cooker combo) to make a Coq au Vin dish (chicken and wine.... with bacon)

Turned out pretty well, seared up the bacon and veggies, pressure cooked the chicken then finished off with an air fry, worked nicely, crispy chicken skin, juicy cooked chicken. Paired very nicely with bacon. I think I'll take the Foodi to station for my next cook shift.

I just used a white cooking wine, nothing fancy. I did a version of the recipe a few weeks back in the regular pan with a red, but I didn't like that one as much

New me used to think these days of running call volumes in the teens in a 12 hour shift we're a fun challenge...and every so often I still do....but ****, this is just plain tiring to do daily.

My last 2 days I ran a total of 3 calls. Cancelled by BLS on two. Moving ALS providers to fly cars was the best decision we’ve made.

If I was stuck on an ambulance, I would have been out of service for a 90 minute time on task minor BLS level call. Instead, I was available for the next one in minutes. Hallelujah.

Well that was an interesting call, not so much the all itself (homeless person found altered (ETOH) on the sidewalk) but the response. It was along a perimeter road at the airport, so both us and ARFF had jurisdiction. (ARFF is a State run agency)

So we had State Sheriffs on scene (yeah another oddity, because City&Counties are a single combined, State police are the Sheriff's...), State Crash sent a crash truck And their structure engine.

We showed up in a Rev (RRV, Rapid Response Vehicle) as opposed to the Quint (standard for medicals, take the Rev, everything else take the big truck).

AMR who is contracted for airport response had a supervisor/QRV show up alongside a regular City&County EMS ambulance.

All for one drink homeless dude... and here I thought LA Co was nuts haha

...
Otherwise apparently I'm now a black cloud? This shift was only a pm 12 hrs (2000-0800) and ran 3 calls (lift assist, and two medicals counting that one) which were the only calls they had all shift lol.
Although I dispute the black cloud status since in my last 3 shift cycle at my regular engine we only ever had one call, and my last 4 days, where I worked 2 different OT shifts at two of the busier engine companies, only one call between them as well lol so I think that was just their regular cloud raining on me haha
...
And in directionlessness... I still have ingredients for the Coq au Vin, and a bottle if Sherry, so I think I'm going to try that to compare to the red and white, taste test winner gonna find itself being made at station on my next cook shift lol

-Reverse seared steak. The how is pretty universal.
-Mascarpone cheese and minced garlic makes a damn good mashed potato.
-When making key lime pie, hand make your crust, filling, and whipped cream.
-A decent bar of chocolate, milk, cocoa powder is the bare minimum you should do for hot chocolate.
-Home made taco seasoning is easy to make and ground beef is cheap
-Pan seared asparagus is easy. Olive oil, butter, minced garlic.
