This morning I woke with a craving for a salty breakfast. Given the fact that I haven't been grocery shopping in a week, ingredients are few and far between. However, I had enough to make a delicious egg and hash browns breakfast. The hash browns were simple enough- I peeled and shredded 4 small potatoes with a medium-holed grater while the skillet was heating up. I added vegetable oil before I put the grated potatoes in, however next time I would just spray the pan because they turned out less crispy than I like.
The eggs were a different story. Given my quest for perfection in my cooking, I decided to attempt the perfect omelet rather than simple scrambled eggs. The perfect omelet is elusive in my life. I can never get it to fold perfectly into a half moon shape. I got so far as to fold it almost all the way over so that there was still a small bit of the bottom half showing, and then I was stuck standing there holding it so that the top half wouldn't fall back for several minutes. Am I missing something? I didn't think it was so difficult to make an omelet but I am still searching for the perfect method.
All in all, breakfast was a success. You live and learn with cooking. One day, I'll find the perfect omelet technique. But today, I'm letting my breakfast digest while I enjoy this Superbowl Sunday afternoon.
