making an omelette

i despise eggs. well, i dislike them when they're not IN anything. that is to say, a cake is perfectly alright, or custard, and i like cookies and tarts and fried rice, that sort of thing. eggs on toast? no thank you. scrambled eggs? absolutely not. but here i am making an omelette, and i might as well tell you about it. did you know the word omelette comes from french amelette/alumette/alumelle/lemele, which comes from the latin lamella, which means knife/blade? it sounds pretty i must admit, but i still hate eggs. anyway, here we go.

i clicked on the first recipe i found, which might not be wise, but it doesn't matter. it says here that first i have to beat the eggs. easy enough. eggs are quite pleasing to look at, especially when you have a lemon-yellow ceramic bowl like i do, and the kitchen is clean and it's sunny outside. moving on.

now i'll heat up the pan. melt some butter. i love that sound, don't you? it's warm and comforting, the sound of sizzling butter. okay, i'm adding the eggs.

i sort of moved the pan around so the eggs would spread evenly, and it worked out mostly how i'd want it to. it jiggles when i shake the pan. now i'm supposed to use a "heatproof silicone spatula" to lift the edges of the omelette (i love the word edges) but i'll just use this spatula (i don't know what kind it is).

am i supposed to flip this? it doesn't say, but i don't like the runny part.

okay, i'm flipping it, but only for a second.

it got stuck! i saved it in time though i think.

now it's time to stuff this guy. i put feta cheese, because i like it, and some herbs. and of course salt and pepper, i'm not a heathen (debatable).

after all this, i still don't like eggs. i gave the omelette to my brother, even though he THINKS he doesn't like feta, he does because he ate it.
