    This was born out of practical concerns from trial and error over the last month.
    1 quesadilla rice on the side, not enough.
    2 quesadilla, one's cold or we don't eat together.
    1 quesadilla overstuffed, no structure sloppy mess.
    1 megadilla with several tortillas, perfect!
    Marijuana was involved in both the creation and consumption of all steps of this great and glorious journey.

    I didn't flip it, I put the ingredients other than cheese in hot and I put a hot skillet on top to sear the top 'tilla.
    The middle 'tillas were just quickly browned before construction.

    Old lady is a quesadilla lover and she gave it an enthusiastic approval.

    It's office potluck day today, so I just had a big lunch of really fucking gross, lukewarm dishes. :lol:
    I try my best not to participate in office potlucks anymore.  Let alone the dishes, half of the people I work with are really fucking gross!
    I absolutely hate them... but people who don't participate are seen as antisocial, so I just suck it up and do it anyway. I dread them.
    I'm so happy that I work from home and only talk to my dog all day long.  Absolutely hated that nonsense when I worked in an office everyday.
    Yikes. Sometimes I think it would be nice to work at home simply to sleep in or not blow dry my hair every morning, haha, but I know for a fact that actually doing so would be terrible for me. I would basically turn feral in no time, lol. I live alone, so would become quite lonely and bored working from home every day .... it was just a small, somewhat tongue in cheek complaint on my part - I like working with my colleagues. i'm pretty social and i have many enriching and fun conversations on a daily basis, and being around other people keeps me on my toes. Sure a few things annoy me, but that is well worth it. I can't believe that an office potluck or co-workers in general are this repellent for some of you, lol. Maybe I am just really lucky to not work with a bunch of assholes or something???

    Speaking for myself, I’m an introvert. Other people just drain all of my energy—even people I like/love. 

    I’m not antisocial. I don’t want to go postal or anything. I’d just rather not participate in any group
    activities that aren’t directly related to work.

    There are definitely aspects of working in an office that I miss.  There were always a few good people to talk to, but I just don't miss the nonsense like team potlucks or being guilted into eating cake for someone's birthday on a Tuesday afternoon!  I don't want any cake...just leave me alone! 

    And you can't beat just rolling out of bed in the morning and turning your computer on.  And having a 1 year old now makes me appreciate the peace and quiet I get all day even more!

    Not true form, but had some awesome shrimp and grits with a creole ham and pepper sauce for dinner.

    Went to dinner with one of my sales guys in Orange County last night.
    Roti place
    Started with splitting a Bone Marrow app and a few martinis
    then went with the 2 person board of Roti...
    Porchetta, Lamb, and Chicken
    Fingerling pots that cooked beneath the meat spits...meaning the fat dripped on them throughout
    Pickled veg

    Wow, that shit was good!

    I go to a place called "plancha" here in NY and LOVE the bone marrow.  I once had beef heart too.  

    It's one of the best Tapas places I've been to.

    Anybody in NY go check it out, it's in Massapequa, NY.
