Chi-chi-chi-chives!

Clementine left a legacy of food in our home. For last Saturday lunch, she made a mushroom-chive omelette, after spotting a chive plant at the local grocery store. Of course at first we were not sure it was chives, because the plant was labelled as "purløg". I did however know that løg means onion in Danish, which to me matches with a chive's onion-y character. I had to roll my eyes at the store clerk, not because he didn't know what chives meant, but because he thought we mistook that plant for onions.

Anyways, in order to have enough chives for the 9-egg omelette, Clementine cut off the top of every single stalk and stuck the chive stumps into one of our teacups. Since then I've been watering it and now, four days later, about 20% of the plant has started growing again. Hooray!

Oh and before I forget, let me document it here - the secret to the omelette is.. "more nutmeg".

So I have resolved to try to blog more, because I enjoy it, and because the only reason why I stopped is because I've been working too much. Today, at my request, I was given some managerial material about why employees might be stressed out of their minds. One point leapt out at me: "The manager talks about work/life balance, but does not model it."
