egg-tasm #1
Posted by ernie on March 5, 2008
breakfast time again; this time for real, as i actually was out of bed before noon. that means it was time for some actually breakfast-y foods.
and bam, there it is.
not much to speak of. it’s the same omelet i made last time, though this time it was red peppers instead of the green. the only thing worth mentioning is that, as previously stated, i had recently seen an egg episode of good eats. i wanted to try the AB approach to the omelet, which is only slightly different than mine.
the AB method involves a sort of mix/stir for a few seconds just after the egg hits the pan. this gives the egg a nice scramble before anything else happens. my method does not have this step and instead allows the egg to set more in a solid cake form.
interestingly enough, it made a noticeable difference. the AB omelet was thinner and more like a ‘pocket’ for whatever would be inside - even if it’s just eggy goodness. my omelet (from eggs for breakfast) was a little fluffier and thicker. it’s a personal preference, i think. i don’t think i can pass judgment just yet, especially since i am not quite deft at the AB method: i tore the omelet just a little upon the out-of-the-pan flip.
also there was raisin bread toast with cream cheese involved.
breakfast consumed.
footnote:
i just finished reading eat shoot and leave, a fabulous book on punctuation by the brilliant and witty lynne truss. it definitely opened up a whole new door to the realm of punctuation for me. i’m not even kidding. highly recommended. this may also explain some of my punctuation uses, if you even notice any.
