Why haven't beans and tomatoes at breakfast caught on in the States? It's really yum.

God, I love that standard British breakfast. Minus the eggs, because I hate them, but beans, tomatoes (grilled or not), bacon, some sort of breadstuff...

Now I want to go down to one of the English places near the beach and order it.

The last couple times I went on cruises my only big complaint with the vegetarian menu was that the soups all had a chicken stock base.

At the buffet, the soups usually had meat stock base (or there were a few vegetarian ones that just didn't appeal), but at the sit-down dinner, the menu was labeled to note which things were vegetarian, and there were always at least two vegetarian appetizers and one vegetarian entree. And they got fairly creative with the entrees, too -- I had vegetarian chili, tofu and veggies with Thai curry, some Indian vegetable thing, fancified eggplant parmesan, and a bunch of other things I can't remember right now.

I've finally found a place nearby that stocks Heinz Vegetarian Beans. Beans, toast, tomatoes, and some sort of potato thing makes my perfect breakfast. Maybe mushrooms too, but I can take or leave them.

I like to toast some bread and cheese and then put the beans on.

Soooooo good.

OK, upon reflection, it's possible my boss had a point. But I still hate getting dressed down for doing something I've done for years in previous jobs and hadn't been told not to do in this one.

Basically, I hate being in a subservient role and having my powerlessness rubbed in. But I don't want to be the boss, either, because why would I want to treat others in a way I hate being treated?

Please, God, let the WIP be the book that finally sells, and let me be one of those lucky ones who gets to quit her day job. Because I can't live like this for the rest of my life. I hate it.

Honestly - I don't see how someone reply-alling without double and triple checking the cc list is ever anyone else's fault but theirs. Sure, it happens, but it's hardly such a new phenomenom that adult people should get a pass on it.

I don't understand "reply all" being a default choice. I almost never reply to all.

Yes, this. Reply All is not anyone else's fault!

I tested my first breakfast potatoes recipe this weekend, and I'm thinking I need to expand that breakfast to include some of this stuff (and, well, meat).
