How do you UNWIND?

[chefzombie]

i cook, and watch completely non political stuff. i recently binged through all of rupaul's shows that i could access, now i'm hooked on aussie cooking and reno competition shows.
  if it's been a fiercely bad day, i pan fry bacon low and slow until it's so crisp it shatters while watching some kind of anthology show, or some of the advertising shorts i collect and smoke a bowl,have my mini cocktails and a couple of beers while eating most of the bacon i'm cooking.

Kristi is watching Bar Rescue. I could imagine you sitting shouting at the screen with that one Barri and some of the kitchens in those bars.

My (least favourite) was the "All in!" guy.

Oh!  The bar I used to live by was on that Bar Rescue show!  The Abbey Pub, later called The Abbey.  I could see that place from my attic back window.  My uncle still lives there.  Another one of my uncles and cousins lived in the apartment above the Abbey Pub until the early 90s.  I am pretty sure that uncle was a regular there and friendly with the original owners.  I don't think the Bar Rescue helped them out very much.  The lettering they put on the outside literally started falling off maybe a month after it was put up and then a fire in 2015 caused the place to close down.  I know it's been closed for a while but I heard they were planning to reopen with new owners and a similar name.

How do I unwind?  I fantasize about quitting my job.

very few, if any, of these bars( or restaurants on other shows) benefit from being on tv . the notoriety is a challenge to trolls, and the business ends up overwhelmed, gets terrible rating AGAIN, and closes. it also hurts the career aspirations of the GOOD employees who actually tried to help, simply because they DID try to help. when the ship goes down, the crew takes the rap too.

I walk. And walk & walk & walk. Sometimes I run.

Build model kits.

I loved building model kits when I was a kid. I could go to a local toy store (or even the news store) and buy one. Back then most of them were only about $1.99 or $2.99. I had all the Aurora monster models, plus other stuff from Star Trek, Lost in Space as well as tanks, planes, cars . . . I'd like to build a few now.

Couple beers, some music, hang with a few friends while playing games or skateboarding.

Read. Listen to music. Watch an old movie. Smoke weed. Cook-out.

Pretty much the same thing for me.
