Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

I understand Anj. I have the same problem cooking for 1. I did an omelette last night and I put all sorts of things in, depending on what I have in the fridge. Last night it was onions, mushrooms, bacon and cheese. I had that much filling I couldn't fold the omelette over lol. It was very nice though, even if i do say so myself.

I love omelettes but absolutely rubbish at making them. They end up looking like scrambled eggs with added stuff. Taste OK though. any tips on how to get them to look like an omelette?

That reminds me of a walk we did along a beach in Lanzarote yonks ago. There was an old guy, mahogany brown and wrinkled, sitting on the sand in his budgie smugglers, except the budgie was hanging out the side. Not a pretty sight. lol

I think you've stumbled on something here, remember Ralph McTell, streets of London?
Your post could be the first verse of 'The beaches of Lanzarote '?

There is loads of stuff out there to do and if you pick something you like it never seems like a chore. I was off work for two years after I took redundancy. Got roped into volunteering for "a couple of hours a week" with a community advice group. Ended up spending three days a week there and pretty much running it. Absolutely loved it. I also got a 10 hour a week job at Durham Uni where I was the note taker for two disabled students. I used to go to lectures with them and take the lecture notes for them. so I did the 2nd year of a physics degree and two terms of an archaeology Masters degree. ? That was such a good experience. When I do retire I intend to to try and go back to do that again.

That sounds great.
What I dream of doing is just pissing off to Alaska and living off grid, spending the rest of my days fishing, hunting and building a cabin from scratch. The rest of the family aint too keen though ?

You must watch Alaskan Bush People then? If you haven't, you need to. My absolute favourite trashy reality TV show - that is probably fake. I quite fancied a season crab fishing in the Bering sea after watching Deadliest Catch

Cook them slowly in butter, not oil. And make sure the blade on the slice thing is as thin as possible. Once the underneath starts to solidify, gently fold one half over the filling, then the other half. It will cook itself from there, as in, you dont need to totally flip the whole thing over. Once done, slide it onto a plate from the frying pan.

As a nice addition, no matter what filling you use, chop some spring onions into it. You will have a lovely crunchy onion experience.

I fry off the other ingredients (not the cheese) in a separate pan and when they are fully cooked season and add a dash of Worcester sauce. I use 3 eggs for my omelettes, season and give them a good old whisk. Add to a buttered small frying pan and just let the eggs cook unaided. When the omelette is nearly cooked through, but still a bit runny on top, loosen it so it comes out of the pan ok. Add the cooked ingredients to one half of the omelette and the grated cheese to the other half. Sling the pan under a hot grill until the cheese melts. Then fold over and stick it on a plate ;)

If you did the same but went pissing off to Alhambra rather than Alaska, they might be a bit more interested. :)
