The way we used to stretch a roast chicken seems forgotten now

My dad would buy one chicken and make it last three meals. First night was roast, then sandwiches, then soup from the bones. Now I see people toss the carcass after one meal. I mean, it's such a waste when money is tight. Idk, maybe it's just me but that old way saved so much cash.

My stubbornness about learning to cook almost burned the house down

I used to think cooking was a waste of time and ordered takeout every night. After setting off the smoke alarm trying to fry an egg, I saw that basic kitchen skills are really important for safety and saving money. What everyday skill did you ignore until a disaster made you learn it?

Stopped cleaning my station between courses, now it's a total mess

I thought wiping down could wait until the end of service to save a few seconds. But now I'm constantly hunting for tools and dealing with cross contamination, which slows me down way more. I mean, it's gross and my ticket times have gone up. Maybe it's just me, but getting back to quick cleans has made nights so much smoother.
