Do you do something special with spring onions?
Comments (10)They're the young bulbous ones. The heads are kind of oval vertically, not fat and round horizontally. But I only have one bunch and they're not on the list for next week. I'd never heard of any kind of onion tarte tatin, however, and reading the recipes was very interesting. Linda, I'm no sure I'm up for raw, but thanks for the idea. I like raw onions and scallions in stuff, but not straight. Maybe something from eggs. Maybe roasted?...See MoreDo you resent being told to do something for your own good?
Comments (35)Career wise, I was nearly always fine with being told what to do. I can think of one major exception when I was told to write up a report from a conference trip I went on with my supervisor. I asked if I could write it from home as at that time I had severe carpal tunnel issues and was told NO, you can't do it from home and take the time out of office to do this (it was mid-90s.). My home computer had an ergonomic keyboard which was not compatible with the work computer workstation. So... yes, I wrote the report up from home anyway and didn't take the time out of my in-office/lab work time. I brought my report in for my supervisor's review. Mind you, he was at the same conference. I wrote up 10-12 meetings I'd been to. On my own time, over a weekend. Because my wrist would not stand me doing that on company time. He changed ONE sentence I'd written, signed the report with his name first, then mine, and sent it off. He didn't write ANYTHING of his own. I had a severe problem with that, and I really wish in retrospect I'd spoken up. But whose word against whose? **** In other circumstances - I do listen to people when they tell me what I should do, but a lot of this depends on the apparent attitude of the person doing the telling. A lot depends also on how well people realize that some requests for "improvement" are in the eye of the beholder, or not, for instance, understanding what depression, anxiety, and those sort of things manifest. Like their way can get you through everything, because it worked for them!...See MoreEver do something like this?
Comments (18)I have scissors that I use for yard work, like opening bags of mulch, and I must have dropped it on the lawn. But when I went back to the area I last used it, the scissors were nowhere to be found. The other day I found the scissors in a kitchen drawer. Of course, someone else must have found the scissors and put them back there. ;-) It's like the times I look for my glasses and find them when i look in a mirror and see the glasses on my face....See MoreAny advice to do something with my large living room wall?
