om (elett)

while npr is busy with their spring pledge drive (the guilt! and more guilt and finally less guilt) pbs is apparently at it too. the vehicle for their begging this time around>julia childs (aka- the french chef). i was treated to multiple (awesome) episodes of the french chef on saturday afternoon. it made want to do terrible things with butter. the first show i watched was about omeletts. usually when i make an'omelett', it really turnes into scrambled eggs with stuff in 'em. however, per julia's brilliant instruction, i made my first ever real omelett-- it even folded over all pretty, just like hers did. two eggs beat together (with a little water) in a hothothot pan with a little budda-- i shook the pan just like julia told me to, added some shredded cheddar and fried potatoes and folded it over into my plate like a pro. i slapped some guac on top and served it up with sthe remaining potatoes, a coupla slices of sprouted wheat toast and a big glass of carrot/apple/lemon juice. mmm. so fast and awesome. thanks julia!
