How many eggs does it take to make an omelette??
Although I wasn’t expecting to post anything for a while, as I seem to been posting a lot more than is healthy, I couldn’t resist this opportunity. Well here goes, Cathy if you’re reading this you might want to close your eyes…
The date was January 17th 2006; her mission, if she chose to accept it, was to come up with a culinary masterpiece, both edible and good to look at. For someone of her catering ability, this should be child’s-play, because rumour has it she knows how to cook everything… well everything except custard (what’s with that?!?).
The chosen environment to perform this precarious task was my delightfully clean (for a change), humble abode; the result was something that will live with me for the rest of my life… and what’s more haunt my dreams.
To try and describe this work of art to you simply wouldn’t do it justice, therefore I took a picture!! Oh if you’re wondering what this is, it is in fact an omelette. Don’t believe me? Ask Cathy (please!).
And if this wasn’t enough, just to really rub a bit of salt into the wound, mine came off first time; that’s right, mine was round (not a cylinder!). But don’t worry Cathy, it happens to the best of people, oh and by the looks of it, it happened to you too!
Finally, to answer my own question, it took 9 eggs to make two omelettes; that’s 4½ per omelette!! I’m now fresh out of eggs… though it was worth it!!
Bring on the pancakes!!!

LOL. It's gone 1am; had an inordinately long day; just had a "deep and meaningful" (i.e. important chat/discussion) with my Dad; am very tired. But now I'm quite literally, for a change, laughing out loud. LOL.
Thanks for that. Oh and by the way my second attempt worked good. I would launch into justifying the results of my first attempt, but where's the fun in that?
Take care (said sincerely, and not at all through clenched teeth),
cathy
PS: I can cook pancakes. You're right, I can't do custard. It's a patience thing, I'm sure. Or a stirring thing. Or a yellow thing.
Glad you weren't too annoyed!!! And yes, your second attempt was okay, though I forgot to mention that- I'm afraid I ran out of time... honestly.
Just thought I'd let you know that Pancake day is on the 28th Feb not when you thought; so we should all still be in Liverpool!
Anyway, got an exam in a hour so better start some revision.
Take Care
Daniel
