Photo/Video Rate the breakfast cook's "pie"

Post image

For context, this cook has been employed here years and all attempts to teach her anything other than breakfast have gone in one ear and out the other. EC and I have been repeatedly blocked from terming her by admin. 🙃

Wow. And how? Not one of my kids ever had a kitchen job. Every single one of them can make a basic chocolate cream pie from a standard box of pudding mix. Was it instant pudding or cook & serve?

Is there an ESL issue (perhaps she needs directions translated)? If she's a native English speaker, could there be a reading disorder at work?

The crust is an abomination. Until you explained what she did, I didn't let myself contemplate it.

It's both tragic and infuriating that she wasted the chocolate sauce and the chocolate "fan decorettes" on her plates of slop.

(I'm still trying to wrap my head around someone who has worked in a kitchen for years producing something like this. Even if you accidentally put in the "pudding" amount of milk instead of the "pie" amount of milk, pudding sets if you make it far ahead enough and refrigerate it.)
