Today's meal (breakfast)...
Across the street from where I blog work (heh, who said that?), there's a burger shack (it actually used to be a Tastee Freeze, before the owners went independent). Ironic, really, considering I work at a health supplement company ("Yep, our mission is to help you stay healthy... now excuse me while I run across the street for a burger combo and malt.").
Anyway, this place makes fantastic breakfast burritos. The head cook makes them the best (unsurprising, since she's worked there 40 years). Now, when my boss moved his company here from the city, he knew that having a burger joint across the street would wreak havoc with the company's health standards (not that you can get fired for being unhealthy, but we like to practice what we teach), so he asked the owners if they would consider carrying whole wheat tortillas (they have great bean and chili meat burritos, too), so at least his employees wouldn't be eating a bunch of white flour (a big no-no in our philosophy; okay by me, since white flour just tastes gummy). So, now, at least twice a week, I go across the street for breakfast (as an aside, is it a sign of being in a rut if a restaurant's staff knows what you want without asking, and expects you to come get it at a certain time?)
So, without further ado... the Egg, Potato, Cheese and Tomato Breakfast Burrito!
Breakfast Burrito
2-3 eggs
salt
pepper
1 tsp. butter
grated cheddar cheese
diced potatoes
diced tomatoes
1 whole wheat tortilla
Whisk together eggs, potatoes and cheese. Add salt and pepper to taste. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and melt butter, coating pan. Scramble eggs until they are firm and the potatoes are done. Transfer to a bowl or plate. Warm the tortilla on the skillet (don't burn it, though).
Fill tortilla with eggs, top with tomatoes and roll into a burrito. Eat, while pretending to work.

Are you under the impression that you get weekends off? And most of the workweek? :skeptical:
You mean I don't?!?
Sheesh... time for some contract negotiations, I guess. Or am I just your blog-slave?
Speaking of... where's your blog again?
What? Unionizing already? :shakehead:
What do you expect... I'm typing my fingers to the bone here, and I don't even get a 5 day work week?!?
You gotta treat your employees better if you want productivity.
