Tales From the Fish House: The Whack-Job

This tale may not be as exciting as some of the past ones....This one isn't full of sex and crazy drug use and all that good stuff....But some of us find it humorous....Maybe because we're sick, twisted,heartless, bastards, who get joy from other people's misery....Whatever.

The Whack-Job, we'll call her Whack-Job-K, W-J-K for short...Don't worry, give me time and I'll have a whack-job for every letter in the alphabet.

W-J-K was service manager, and she was hot....She was married to a guy I knew, but not well....He had worked for the company a long time ago...So I didn't feel bad for having thoughts of what I'd do to his wife if I wasn't married...

Anyway, she started out okay...got along with everyone....seemed like a cool chick....She was a little weak when it came to doing the books and some paper work, but she was hot, so who cares...right?

Then slowly the whack-job started creeping in....Before she hit full blown whack-job, she went into drama queen phase....There were problems at home and everybody had to know....from the servers, to the dishwashers, to the costumer, to me....F**king everybody.....Soon anyone who set foot in the Fish House hated this dude...."what a jerk''..."what an a$$hole"..."I can't believe he would say that"...Then the Sh!t hit the fan.....W-J-K comes in one afternoon crying, her face bruised and beat up....She let's it be known her old man did this....I'll be honest, there were some of us ready to throw this guy a beating....But the boss told us to stay out of it.

As time goes by the drama grows, she's sitting in the office crying and listening to the Cure....Everything makes her cry....Then some of us get the drunken phone calls in the middle of the night...."why am I so alone?" "I'm so lonely"..."why can't I be loved?" She even called the Fish House in the middle of a Saturday night service....My one boss made me take the call, I was closer to the phone....There I am sauteing and having to listen to this drunken women cry and babel....and I actually feel bad for here....Anyone else and I would have been pissed.

Now here comes the kicker....W-J-K comes in again beat up and freaking out...The boss sends her home after his shoulder is soaked with tears...A little while later we hear from multiple people...some employees....some other people who work i n the area, that W-J-K was seen beating herself, with her shoes, in her car....WTF!!! Are you sh!tt!ng me?

Now this couldn't be real right? F**k yeah it was. We later found out from people who worked with her at her last job caught her in the act...B!tch beats herself with her shoes, and says her husband did it....I guess you can't blame him for leaving.....I just want to say this again...She beat herself up with her shoes....WTF!!!

Now after that happy tale, how about a recipe...This is one Mrs. Beeze loves.

Pan Seared Scallops with Braised Spinach

The first thing you need to do is chop up some bacon strips. (3-4)

Slowly cook the bacon in a skillet...I like to use cast iron...Get it three quarters cooked....Drain some of the bacon grease, but not all...Then add some nice, fresh scallops to the pan...just season with a little S & P....They don't take long...after you turn them over add some fresh spinach...You're just getting warm, but keeping some of the crispness...Throw it on a plate pour some wine, or beer, and stuff your gob....After that, take you clothes off and see what happens.

Enjoy.

One last thing...I added something to my sidebar called Jokes from the Knife Guy....This guy comes in every week and can't leave without sharing a joke. Check it out.

Later, The Beeze.
