There were still plenty of 'broken glass cleanups' though. At least for me. Those sucked, especially sticky stuff like jelly.

Same here. I stuck with the grocery store for 7 years (14-21). What kills me now is the baggers these days only put a couple of things in each bag. Back in my day, we aimed for about 10 lbs in each bag. People must be wusses now.

Bernaise is hollandaise with tarragon and I think vinegar.

Bechamel isn't a base for hollandaise, but yeah, I get your point.
True hollandaise is pretty much egg yolks, butter, lemon juice and chefs will fight to the death for how much salt, worcestershire and tabasco belong in it.

Looks like they are already prepared and have Endless Shrimp going on:

I know! It's bean a while.

In the states the biggest Australian beer is Foster's which comes in a big can compared to other beers. So that's where it comes from.

Your wife knows what's bad.

A pinch is fine, but half a teaspoon for the amount is too much for me.
