For 50k a year
I'd probably be willing to whore my soul out to accountancy or law (sorry swipe) or pretty much anything, even if I hated it. I'll never see that kind of money in science, ever: it's well over double what I'm currently on.

I want in on Kitty's business: I'd love to run a bakery/deli/café style place. And 100k would buy you an awful lot of cupcakes.

I don't think I could do a job
I hated for any money. Unless it was only 2 hours a week or something

the job I have at the moment is bad enough

Yes, but NEW JOB SOON
so yay for that.

thank fuck
the last few days here have really shown how much they are going to miss me though. It's going to be interesting to see what happens here after I leave.

Same, there's a lot of big changes going on here
and I'm the only one who really knows what's going on or where anything is. They're gonna be screwed in six weeks when I go.
(berk, Tue 16 Aug 2011, 13:39, Reply)

things seem to be circling the drain here as well. nothing to do with me
but companywide. If I didn't have a new job already I'd have started looking.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 16 Aug 2011, 13:40, Reply)

This place is scraping the very edge of the drain.
I wouldn't be surprised if it was sold off or merged into one of our competitors within six months.

this company as a whole is too big for that
but I can see my division and particularly my office going within 6 months if things don't drastically turn around

Well, I have chosen a job that makes me happy
over one that'll make me rich, that's for sure. I'm sure I could stick it out for a couple of years in a job I hated just for the money; I'm too easy going to get really hacked off by much at work. I am struggling to think of anything I would really hate except really tedious or really manual stuff, neither of which you'd earn 50k doing...

chef
would be the ultimate horror job for me, but the thought of office work for life makes my brain want to do a sick
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Tue 16 Aug 2011, 13:34, Reply)

Oooh no, I'd love to be a chef
in a proper restaurant, not some shitty Beefeater or something. But I believe it's very stressful, and I don't deal well with stress.
(berk, Tue 16 Aug 2011, 13:38, Reply)

it would be everything I hate
hot, stressy, crappy shifts and cooking.
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Tue 16 Aug 2011, 13:41, Reply)

I think that would be really up your street.
I'd quite like to run my own cafe, not own it or anything, but run it. I find it disheartening all these people who open up cafe/resturants/sandwich-bars (etc) and then they fill it with the cheapest ingredients that have really horrible flavours and textures, like out-of-a-tub corination chicken. And then employe people who can only put a sandwich together and fry some bacon/eggs, rather than make up something fresh (fresh as in, at least made on the day, if not to order).

I'm going to learn how to make Rarebit this week, that's my Food To Learn This Week thing.

isn't it just cheese on toast?
Even I can do cheese on toast
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Tue 16 Aug 2011, 13:42, Reply)

Not just cheese on toast
It's got beer and other stuff in it too. Shouldn't you know this, being Welsh? :P

zomg
i had it at quaglino's the other day, on tiny squares of garlic foc and the rarebit was made with stilton.

i nearly creamed myself.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Tue 16 Aug 2011, 13:50, Reply)

not beer
it's got mustard and a splash of milk or cream, and some spice
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 16 Aug 2011, 13:52, Reply)

There are many recipes, using a variety of different ingredients
but beer is definitely a common ingredient.
( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Tue 16 Aug 2011, 13:55, Reply)

not in any of the recipes that I've read

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 16 Aug 2011, 13:57, Reply)

I'm not saying you have to include it.
I'm sure your personal recipe is perfectly adequate for your needs.
Most of the top results here seem to include it though: www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&xhr=t&q=rarebit&cp=6&safe=off&qscrl=1&nord=1&rlz=1T4GGHP_en-GBGB442GB442&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&biw=1280&bih=845&ion=1&wrapid=tljp131349982707702&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=iw

that's weird
I'm sure I looked on at least two of those sites when I was finding a recipe for it

ingredient accompaniment
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Tue 16 Aug 2011, 14:01, Reply)

I used to think it was, it really isn't, it's so much more.
It's like toast with a cheesy bechimal.
( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Tue 16 Aug 2011, 13:52, Reply)

serve it with some crispy bacon and a poached egg
buck rarebit. nom

I liked your b3tan Come Dine With Me idea
except without all the bitching in the cab afterwards. I believe that the kind of café you're on about does have a place; sometimes you need a quick grab-n-go and you don't really care about flavour or texture as long as it's quick and cheap. But that's not the kind of place I would want to run.
I'm making tagine this week. Om nom nom.
(berk, Tue 16 Aug 2011, 13:42, Reply)

Yeah', exacto, there are way to many of them where I live. Or there are cafes that charge like £8 for a big bowl of salad who think way above their station and charge accordingly.
There is a place in Brighton called The Mock Turtle, which I believe to be the perfect cafe, which is the sort of idea you're talking about.

Oh nice, what kind of tagine?
( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Tue 16 Aug 2011, 13:53, Reply)

Lamb, apricot and sweet potato
with GIANT couscous which I found in Waitrose, and was so amused by the idea that I had to buy it.
(berk, Tue 16 Aug 2011, 14:02, Reply)

nice
I got a tagine from my mum for christmas and have yet to use it.
