Frittomelette

Pretty overcast and wet, cold day today. I bought a box of Christmas-themed doughnuts from Peter Pan bakery. Mmm. I also too my Haro for a spin around the neighborhood, but encountered a lot of icy conditions. The Haro works ok on snow, actually, but not on ice. Do they make snow chains for BMX tires?

I tried making an omelette this morning, but my pan was too small for a three-egger, so it was hard to flip over. By the time I managed to flip it, the edges were cooked well and the whole thing was a bit broken up, so I just finished it off in the oven, which was already heating up a corn muffin. And so (an English teacher once told me to never begin a sentence with "And"...), either you could say the omelette was overcooked, or you could say that I created some kind of mutant. The outside was slightly crisp, and the inside was meaty (though I didn't add any meat)—with thin layers of egg rolled in along with the filling. By the way, the filling consisted of thinly sliced sauteed button mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, parsley, dill, and a bit of green onion and garlic.

Next time, I will use butter instead of vegetable oil to cook it with, and also add a little water and salt to the egg before cooking. And...maybe get a 12-inch pan, as Julia recommends.

I included an old pic of a Veefer tag at Wendy's I saw once. Notice the angle at which his marker is held. Around 45 degrees plus. Nice...
