Habanero jelly is a bit too spicy for a breakfast spread. I think it would work better on a sandwich.

Something missing as a possibility
The “glass-half-empty” folks lean toward the idea that something’s wrong, something’s not there, something’s missing-as in problematic. The “half-full” folks are attending to what’s actually in the glass-as in what could be brought to the party-as in “missing as a possibility.”Angie Mattingly
Sometimes it's hard to see the possibilities before me. There is so much baggage and angst that my mind is clouded and I miss opportunity. I could instead stand in the moment and let the possibilities appear. Sometimes what I think I need may not appear but something else, another path, appears. One has to be in the mind frame to see it.
Meat
Culturally I feel that we have a tendency to prepare meals around the meat we intend to serve. Take a look at fast food as an excellent example: fried chicken, cheeseburgers, meatball subs. It's really all about a lump of animal; everything else is an extra, a side, or a garnish. Whether by conditioning or a natural, evolutionary predisposition to favour meat as a food source, I think this is probably a difficult thing to change. For meat to become supplementary instead of central we probably have to make some subtle but meaningful changes to the way we think about our food.

I never understood the American desire to eat volumous amounts of meat. I think this is mostly a cultural thing. I grew up on several small Caribbean islands. Grazing land is scarce; islands are small. We eat mostly fish and chicken. More fish than chicken. The meat was always considered a side. Not the main dish. I think it's that way in most cultures.
My wife is vegetarian. A real vegetarian, not the bullshit that some call themselves while eating fish and chicken. If you are eating something that has a nervous system you are NOT a vegetarian.
So I guess the combination of her eating habits and my upbringing leads us to put less focus on meat and more on the vegetables on the plate.
NOTE: I do like a good steak.
