What's for dinner on Easter? Are you cooking?
Goose with citrus, veggies, soup, fruit tart, yum yum.
though polish custom usually has the main focus of the day on breakfast - eggs, polish sausage, more soup. triple yum :)
Waitering, Part Two
I have to agree with the sentiments about how awful it is when people just don't show up. I worked a summer with a boss/chef who would throw plates at the waitresses and call us every name in the book - on girl (understandably) quit - but I had to spend the next three weeks working double shifts, 7 days a week to cover her lunch shift. It sucked, and it would have been great if she could so much have given a bit of notice, or forwarded us a name of a friend who could cover her.
And maybe it's because I paid most of my way through college/law school waitressing for every psycho chef out there, but I don't really see the big, dehumanizing aspect of having to get a kid a piece of bacon and picking up a fork. Count your blessings if that's this is the worst job you get.

Waitering, Part Two
I can completely sympathize with Adam. I waitressed for half a year and finally decided it just wasn't worth it and found a job not in the service industry. Not liking a job doesn't mean you're spoiled, it could just mean the job sucks. And it would be both stupid and masochistic to stay in a job you hated if you didn't have to do it. I considered myself a friendly, competent server and often went out of my way to do little things for customers. But so often people are cheap or just mean and will not tip well, regardless of how well a server does his job. Also, our kitchen was terrible and would constantly screw up orders or take forever to cook food, all of which I was blamed for. Waitressing is terrible and at times made me doubt that nice people actually existed in the world. Maybe it is better at some restaurants, but at the one I worked at, I wouldn't recommend a job to my worst enemy.

This guy sounds like a spoiled brat and incompetent to boot. He probably did his employer a favour when he quit, although he'd certainly worked there long enough to know he was screwing his fellow workers.
I grew up in the restaurant business, worked as a waitress for years to put myself through college. I only worked in one place bad enough to warrant quitting without notice and the place in which he was employed was nirvana compared to that.
Hosting/hostessing in every place I worked was always a plum job given only to very experienced waiters/waitresses. I'm not surprised he wasn't able to do it. His employer should never have put him in that position.

over medium because only true elitists order eggs over medium

Jerzee...I feel the same way. I don't do all of my shopping at Wegman's....we have alot of local markets so when I have time I like to check out different markets for different things...but when I want to get the best of everything all at once, then Wegman's is the place to go. I too have to drive 25 minutes to get there....but if I can coordinate it with my drive home from work, then it's almost on the way!
Your chicken dish sounds yummy...I'll have to try that sometime. I love the Nature's Marketplace in the store too...it's great to have all those organic choices at reasonable prices. Hmmm...we sound like a commercial now, don't we? lol

Poached, atop a crispy toasted lightly buttered thick English muffin. Hungover Gourmet: When I was in college, in Boston in the 1970s, after a hard night of partying, a bunch of us would feast at Ken's in Copley Square. I ate scrambled eggs and hot dogs there on more than one occasion. Thanks for the memory!
