What I’m sort of getting out of these articles is that all servers hate me because I’ve never worked in a restaurant and don’t know the litany of extant unwritten rules.

I do the “backdoor Roth IRA” method, and I wish they’d come up with a less illegal-sounding name for it.

Where are you getting duck fat in sufficient quantities and at a low enough cost that you’re not going poor from using it a quarter cup at a time? Serious question because I’d build a child out of duck fat and love it and care for it and ultimately eat it.
