DanielK Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 List for Thurs 8/12, 5p-8p: DanielK +1 Rhone1998 goldenticket Xochitl10 ol_ironstomach Four open spots, for any last minute interest... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ol_ironstomach Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 You don't need monster skills to come along to one of these. Just look at us - a bunch of regular folks! All you need is a bit of patience, enough dexterity not to injure yourself, and hopefully a willingness to chat a bit with whomever you're standing next to. That might be one of us, or the other dozen-and-change folks who show up from I-don't-know-where. And it's strangely satisfying. Last call for this evening!

Xochitl10 Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Urgh! Madness reigns, so I will be there, but a tiny bit late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielK Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 OK, time for the next signup has arrived. I didn't book far enough ahead, and the lead time is longer than ever, so this month's is split between two dates: Thurs 9/30 (6 spots) Mon 10/4 (3 spots) I can do either (and both, if we need the spots filled).

If you haven't gone before, I guarantee that not only will you have a great time, and walk out with that warm feeling inside, you'll be fighting for a spot next month. Way better than writing a check (though you can do that too...) Thurs 9/30 (6 spots) 1. DanielK 2. +1 3. skipper10 4. ol_ironstomach 5. sparkycom 6. Mon 10/4 (3 spots) 1. Goldenticket 2. laniloa 3.

ol_ironstomach Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Crap crap crap. Sorry for the failure-to-appear, gang; it's been a day of disasters.

DanielK Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 We showed 4/6, but the rest of the crowd was 6/24, so our 2 missed people weren't so noticed. I will say that 10 people tonight did an incredible amount of work, and (regulars will appreciate this) MY KNIFE WAS SHARP!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers2000 Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 As a last minute plea, it looks like I'm going to lose a battle to reschedule a proposed meeting that I can't miss today that will last until 6 . If there is anyone here that can pick up my spot, I would greatly appreciate it. Otherwise, I will do my best to get there, even if a bit late.

hillvalley Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Those of you who went last night-did you deal with any black radishes? They got about 30 bunches from Dupont on Sunday and I am curious to know what they did with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They got about 30 bunches from Dupont on Sunday and I am curious to know what they did with them. No - it was (almost) all tomatoes all night, with a little bit of bibb lettuce and greens thrown in for good measure. They might just use the radishes directly in salads which they would prepare during the morning shifts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielK Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 No - it was (almost) all tomatoes all night, Normally I would love this, but for your sake I hope they had actually sharpened the knives before shift... I remember about 6 months ago we were breaking down these huge raw potatoes, with a knife that wasn't much sharper than a spork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanielK Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 The last DR.com night at DCCK was early October, so it seems like forever since I was putting the call out, but here we go again! As usual, putting out the request 2 weeks before the date, and will give back any unclaimed spots 1 week before. Next session is Monday 11/22, 5p-8p. That's the Monday before Thanksgiving, so the needs are even greater than usual. Who's with me? 10 total spots available.

goldenticket Posted November 23, 2010 Author Share Posted November 23, 2010 Thanks to everyone who volunteered tonight! We had a full 12, in spite of a last minute flat tire - Rissa's surprise appearance with a friend made sure we were well-represented. Even though it was a packed house with a couple of other large groups, there were plenty of carrots, radishes, and peppers to be chopped And special thanks to Sparkycom and the Fresh Start Catering crew for our special break snacks - and SHARP knives!

leleboo Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 - and SHARP knives! Amen to that -- those knives actually made me realize my home sharpener is dead. Also that I might want all new knives. I hated having to leave early to get back to work (grrrrrr) but I had a blast. Can't wait for the next one!

Arrrgh, I hate to be the one that bails, but when I walked out of the house at 4:15, and saw that flat tire, I knew that it was over. Glad that we still represented well!
