We have the vegetarian book.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

How the hell does a restaurant manage to get 41 grams of fat in a veggie goat cheese wrap?

Have no idea. Cream? Massive portions?

Stunned and thought I was eating healthy today. The computer is not always a good thing.

Deep fry the goat? Deep fry the wrap? Use high fat cheese? All of the preceding?

Seriously. You start poking around those sites, you end up changing your eating habits. I do like the ones where you can see the difference if you leave off cheese or things.
Mayo is the worst culprit - any of that in there?

When one is submitting writing samples for a job, when it has been requested, is it necessary to delete people's names and other personal information?

I think it may have been hidden in the sundried tomato spread.

Ann, that's a ferret.
sj, depends on the situation. If the names are confidential, definitely delete or use some system so the reader can tell what you're talking about without knowing the names.
Example -- when I was job hunting, one of my writing samples was a legal memo about a juvenile case. (Quick rundown -- 3 juveniles accused of killing a 4th with an eyewitness present. The oldest was 14YO, the eyewitness 6YO.) Names in juvenile cases are confidential. In the memo, I referred to everyone by initials.

Happy Belated Birthday, sj!! Also, go with the naked elopements, Bev and DH! Wheee! (Conflation is fun, isn't it?)
Cindy, I'm glad the MiL is recovering well. Let's hope they can suggest ideas on how to prevent it happening again. 72 is too darn young to start having those kind of things happen.
I see I missed being timely enough to wish GC and Jen best of luck on their tests. Sending it for the next time around. And that GC's teacher grades on a curve.
I had a lovely 4th of July weekend in the wilds of Door County, WI. Ate too much, shopped too much, sat around just enough and made it home in time for fireworks in Madison. We walked from my daughter's apartment. A good half hour walk, so it helped work off the pizza we picked up on the way.
