ANST - kitchen commandments

[Michael F. Gunter]

Good Greetings!

With all the talk lately of feasts and such, I had to pass this along
from the SCA-Cooks list.

I urge everyone to take these commandments to heart!

Yers,

Gunthar

============================

Kitchen Commandments

1. Thou shalt wash thine hands upon entering the Kitchen, and often
   thereafter.

2. Thou shalt tie back thine scraggly locks before entering the Kitchen.

3. Thou shalt not pester the cooks, and thou shalt obey the Chef.

4. Thou shalt pay for thy disturbances of the kitchen staff with
   chocolate.
   Likewise, thou shalt turn a deaf ear to the rowdy disturbances of
   creativity in the kitchen.

5. Thou shalt not borrow kitchen equipment or supplies without
   permission.
   Thou shalt return every piece of equipment thou borrowest in tip-top
   condition, promptly.

6. Thou shalt honor thy cooks with backrubs and praise often, for
   verily, without them thou wouldst go hungry. 

7. When thou carest not for what is put before thee, thou shalt simply
   say "No, Thank-you", for those who wouldst shout "My God, that's disgusting"
   shall surely forfeit their lives at the hands of those who have slaved
   hours to prepare it.

8. The Cooks of thy acquaintance surely have not been fed while they
   have toiled for you. Therefore, thou shalt save them some of the food if they
   so desire it.

9.  Thou shalt have a soft chair and a glass of "something with a kick"
    for thy wearisome cook when the feast is done.  While thy cook relaxes,
    thou shalt help clean the kitchen.

10. Thou shalt help thy cook load the wagon for the journey home, for
    verily will thy cook be falling down tired after providing such an awesome
    meal.
