We've selected the following statements to provide vision,
inspiration, and protection to our visitors. We recommend that you
display them around your dining area or kitchen. |
|
|
| |
|
|
#1 "Let them eat cake" |
|
A dessert suggestion first
voiced by Eamon X. Boyle, legendary 11th century Irish
philosopher, pre-renaissance man, and forebear of Tish Boyle.
Incorrectly attributed to Marie Antoinette by many cultural
historians. |
|
|
|
|
#2 "A watched pot never
boils" |
Correct. For best results in life and cooking, don't watch
the pot. Also attributed to Eamon X. Boyle. |
|
|
|
#3 "Frische Luft
macht gesund!" |
Translation: "Fresh air is good for your health!" An old
German saying of uncertain origin. Uttered with vigor
as one throws open windows, supposedly to promote good health.
But equally useful when it's necessary to expel smoke that has
resulted from obeying #2 above too literally.
|
|
|
|
#4
"Sauve qui peut!" |
Translation: "Every man for himself!" Generally heard when one's
ship is sinking or enemy forces are about to overrun one's military
position, this suggestion also applies to cooking emergencies that
may arise from obeying #2 above too literally. |
|
|
|
#5 "If you can't
stand the heat, get out of the kitchen" |
|
Useful advisory for kitchen
workers, adapted from regulations reportedly
issued by the U.S. Occupational Safety & Health Administration
(OSHA).*
*If
kitchen heat exceeds 75◦F or 23.8◦C, remain calm. Power down
appliances, evacuate premises, and report violation to the nearest OSHA office. |
|
|
|
|
#6 "Too many chefs
spoil the broth"
|
Another old truism of unknown provenance. It applies to a
wide variety of activities, including cooking, marriage,
business, foreign policy, and military operations. |
|
|
|
#7
"The early bird catches the worm"
|
Standard analysis: you're likely to be
rewarded if you get up early or are first to do something.
Correct analysis: it's better to
sleep in, particularly if you're the worm and birds are around.
See pastimes. |
|
|
|
#8 "No one speaks
English, French, Spanish, Italian, or German here"
|
 |
 |

Non / No |
