The specific area for vehicles outside the office complex reads:
Visitors | No Employee Parking
So, I put my vehicle there and then got a "Bad Employee" email stating its No Employee Parking there.
I replied back with a copy of my golfing scorecard to prove I'm a double-bogie king.

That's not even worthy of a groan.

Hence none was supplied.

He will soon be fired,must take a job that involves flipping burgers and guess what he will then claim to be?

Tonights supper:
16oz Rump steak, Sous Vide with black pepper and garlic for 90 minutes at 56C.
Oven roasted vine tomatoes, cooked with a little salt and olive oil.
Triple cooked chips (fries for our colonial cousins).
The latter takes all day to make: I started about 10:00, and served at 18:00.
And what's the first thing she does? Splats 'em with ketchup ... 
It's like typing for twenty minutes explaining why and how to avoid SQL injection in QA, only to have the answer "you missed a quote" accepted ...

Oh Noooo! Inconceivable! I always said one of the things people in the UK do right, is to season fish and chips with salt and vinegar. Damn! Now my mouth is watering. Pity the USA is so far from the UK.

This is similar to going to a fine steak house and paying $$$ for a fine steak, and watching someone drown it in brown sauce/steak sauce, etc. Makes you go, hmmmm.
The meal sounds divine. When are you opening up your mail order restaurant to clients across the pond? I'm starving.

Oh god, I have this argument all the time with my family. When I have a meal, I like to savour the flavour, so to speak, which means not smothering it in crappy sauces. My brother, who is a very good cook, inspired by years of world-wide travel, even ruins his own meals – he concocts these lovely dishes and then gets a bottle of Mexican Hot Chilli Sauce and splashes it all over! I mean – wtt? Why does he bother cooking? May as well get fish’n’chips down the road if he’s going to do that. Each to his own, I guess, but still… it drives me mad…

My always ready answer to ketchup is that it is a waste and ruination of perfectly good tomatoes
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, navigate a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.

Fries drowned in ketchup, mayo, sate-sauce and unions.
That's how it is done.

I have to admit fries and ketchup do go together  , although I don't think I have ever had triple fried ones.
The wife does those little spuds in the oven - almost tasteless when they hit the plate so they need something.

Oh, they are damn fine - crisp like glass on the outside, and light and fluffy on the inside, all without being greasy!
Use a floury potato like Maris Piper (this is important!)
Peel and cut the potatoes so they are all about 1 inch thick squares - discard anything which isn't.
Wash in running water, then put into a pan of cold salted water. Bring up to just under a boil, and simmer for about an hour - they should be "about to fall apart" but not quite doing it.
Carefully transfer to a rack and allow to cool, then transfer to the fridge for at least two hours.
Fry at 130C for four minutes, gently moving them every minute to get oil to all surfaces.
Carefully transfer to a rack and allow to cool, then transfer to the fridge for at least two hours.
They should now be significantly smaller than they started!
Fry at 180C for eight minutes, drain and serve.
A lot of work for chips / fries - but the best you have tasted!
I'm planning to experiment with Sous Vide instead of simmering - 2 hours at 90C maybe? It works (I'm told) for roasties, so ...

How do you fry something at exactly 130 and 180 centigrades?

My deep fat fryer has pretty accurate temperature control from 50C to 190C*, plus it holds 8 litres of oil, so it has good "thermal capacity" to keep the temperature up when cold food goes in.
* It's an industrial unit as I got fed up with domestic ones being bloody useless or leaking. I checked it's thermostat and control with my infrared digital thermometer.

Oh, I thought you meant this: Pan frying - Wikipedia[^] when you said frying. You said you turned them at 1 min each so. I couldn't understand how you could control that without some serious wizardry

No, chips / fries need deep frying to get even cooking.
It's similar to this: 10l fryer[^] but holds more oil and is a bit taller.
It's excellent for fish and chips, Sweet and Sour Pork Hong Kong style, and others - though it's a pain to clean, especially if you don't do it soon after the oil has cooled enough to drain.

No need (yet).
Jokes apart... I would definitively tell you if I go over there within a comfortable range of distance. At least to have a something to drink in a pub or so.
