	The problem is they probably didn't fear and/or respect you. While most tubers can often be convinced by the glory of higher purpose, sweet potatoes are godless heathens and only capable of acting out of a baser self interest. You might have poked holes in their surface arguments, but the problem is that their fundamental beliefs hadn't been pierced through in any effective fashion. Give them a stern talking-to beforehand. Torturing them with a fork is a great time to delineate your expectations and future goals.		The problem is they probably didn't fear and/or respect you.

		+	\|I am going to valentine the everloving shit out of my partner this year. If we're both working we both kind of just try to fuck or whatever but this year I am freelancing and making fuck-all when it comes to cash (and have been cooking a ton as a result) so I want to go BALLS OUT for this.
		+
		+	I'm thinking of something like this for a menu:
		+
		+	Appetizer: Something seafoody. I made salmon tartare recently and it was fabulous, so I could do that. Alternatively, oysters? I've never shucked an oyster before and I'm slightly scared to try, but fuck it, I've been meaning to.
		+	Beer pairing: Something light. Probably La Fin du Monde or another belgian tripel.
		+
		+	Entree: Agnolotti filled with goat cheese and mushroom (and maybe kale or something, don't want to eat all that butter without at least a little roughage) in a sage browned butter (or maybe a sage cream sauce). Or maybe just do some kind of braised pork belly over top to really push it way over the top, and make a lighter sauce?
		+	Beer pairing: Probably a stout of some kind, or a barleywine--we've got Victory Twelve in the fridge and I think that'll stand up to all the butter and all the rich flavors. Or red wine if he's more in the mood for that on Friday.
		+
		+	Dessert: Something chocolate. Chocolate coconut tart or something? Like, a chocolate shortbread crust, a layer of coconut oil caramel (which I have been wanting to try for a while), and ganache? Either that, or chocolate mousse with coconut whipped cream. I want this shit to be PRETTY dammit.
		+	Rum Pairing: Zaya or the 20th anniversary Plantation (if we're not too drunk to actually taste how good that shit is)
		+
		+	Thoughts, anyone? I'm a little shaky on the agnolotti filling and the progression of everything.

		+	\|Darfur war orphans have shit much harder than I do, obviously.
		+
		+	Ok E/N, this is kind of a nebulous problem to confront. A non-problem almost. I don't even know if it's thread-worthy other than that it bugs the hell out of me. I started a job about two months ago and overall it's great. Co-workers are nice, pay is reasonable for the work involved, whatever. The closest thing to a problem is my boss and that's only because he does not communicate well. At all. Any criticism or even anything that could be interpreted as criticism of him is taken very personally. This wouldn't be a problem if this one incident didn't keep coming up!
		+
		+	Every Friday, he grills up a bunch of hotdogs and hamburgers and brings them in on Saturday and Sunday for everyone to have for lunch. I'm vegetarian, and after I told him this, he's started making me these enormous salads that, truthfully, I don't ask for and don't want. He's putting in all this work and I can't figure out how to tell him I just want to get out of the store for my lunch break and get some quizno's down the road.
		+
		+	A complicating problem is, the salads are really, really good. Home grown crisp apple slices, fresh butter lettuce he gets from a local co-op, all sorts of herbs from his home garden - this last weekend he made a raspberry-pear vinaigrette that was, to say the least, fucking amazing. I just don't want it sometimes! But if I ask him to ask me before making me one, I know he's going to take it personally. I guess what I want to know is, should I suck it up and try to enjoy the salads that are forced on me? Is it too early in the job to risk it over a free lunch? How can I break this to him without hurting his feelings?
