The Black Mountain Omelette

We are visiting North Carolina.
I'm cutting up herbs from Nanny's garden.

Nanny showed me her trick of how to crack each egg
into a small bowl before adding it to the big bowl.
Just in case you get a bad egg.

Sometimes I mix my herbs into the eggs.
Sometimes I don't.

Mom flipped the omelettes for me.
The ingredients were salsa, ham, cheddar cheese, parsley, and chives.

Nanny thought my omelette turned out excellent.
That's what she said. "Excellent."

Dad and Ollie ate it all up too. So did Papa Clyde.

Monday Evening Omelette

We called this the Monday Evening Omelette because Daddy wasn't here and it was Monday and we were having it for dinner.

Mom already made dinner but it was disgusting--she thought so, too--so we decided to make an omelette because I'm a great omelette chef. About her dinner, Mom said, "Even good chefs mess up a meal every now and then." The pork chops were too chewy to eat. We used the salad Mom made for our dinner; it was good in the omelette but it was bad by itself because it had too much vinegar in the salad dressing.

This is the mixture of my omelette. All the green stuff is parsley and chives. Mmmm.

The silver blur in the middle of the picture is me whisking the eggs with a fork.

This is the salad that we added to our omelette.

I cut the cheese and put it into a grater.

The bread is the best part. The cheese is, too.

I am pouring the eggs into the pan now. The eggs are in mid-air.

This omelette smelled like hot, melting cheese.

Those two pieces of bread that are sticking out of the omelette look like
a leg and an arm.

The omelette was fantastic. Ollie was too busy watching TV to eat it.
Besides, he ate all his soup and my soup too from the dinner Mommy made.

I LOVE THESE PICTURES!

Omelette #17

I am next to the bacon cooking.

I am cracking eggs.

This is our bowl of eggs. They've got peas in them.

Mature cheddar cheese, English peas, streaky bacon, and sauteed mushrooms.

Dad named this omelette "Omelette #17" because our new apartment's address is #17.

Grandaddy and Grandma Donna Love My Marvelous Omelettes!

Since we are moving to England in a couple of weeks, my Grandaddy and Grandma Donna came down from Tennessee to visit us. It was great! The omelette turned out really good and so they named it Merrit's Marvelous Omelette.

Eggs get whisked with a fork because that's how I like to do it.

Today's omelette's ingredients are: Ham,
artichoke hearts, white cheddar cheese, and eggs.

You have to evenly spread your ingredients into
the omelette because if you don't it's going to just
taste bad in the one spot.

Mommy made hash browns.

Ollie loves Grandaddy. He's wearing his hat.

This is Grandaddy and Ollie. Ollie is going to
whack the table with that spoon!

Everyone's plate is empty. Breakfast was delicious!

Jolly Good Omelette

My dad is in England and we decided to make an English omelette. So my mom and I looked on the computer to see what an English omelette has in it. 

This is what an English omelette has in it: Green onions (we did not have these, so we used garlic chives from the garden), mushrooms (we sauteed our mushrooms because Gramma B wanted to), asparagus (we only had canned asparagus, but it was still good), green peas (we meant to put these in but we forgot).

Gramma B taught me how to crack an egg with a knife instead of on a table or counter. I got good at it, and so I used it a lot. Gramma B named the omelette because Daddy wasn't here to name it. She called it the Jolly Good Omelette. 

Cutting garlic chives and mushrooms.

Gramma B showed me how to scoop out the
insides of the egg shells to get the rest of
the egg white out of the shell. That's the way
her mother did it.

This omelette is just about ready to be folded in half.

The Chiles-and-Cheese-with-Needs Omelette

What we put in the omelette was diced green chiles, shredded Monterey jack and cheddar cheeses, and we put herbs in--like we always do. My dad called it The Chiles-and-Cheese-with-Needs because it had chiles and cheese in it but he said, "It needs something else. Maybe bacon."

I'm opening a can of green chiles.

We poured the chiles into a strainer to get all of the juice out.

The herbs we used were parsley and chives.

When we put in the cheese, I saw that we had more than we needed,
so I ate some. These are the cheeses that we used.

The ingredients.

The omelette.

We put the omelettes on the plates so that we could make the other ones.
We put the plates in the microwave so they stayed hot.

The Peacemaker

Daddy decided to name this omelette The Peacemaker because the ingredients don't look like they go together, but when you eat them, they do. The ingredients are artichoke hearts, grated extra sharp cheddar cheese, salsa, and dill.  And eggs.

I was so hungry today that I almost didn't have enough energy make the omelettes. I was like, "Gimme some cheddar! Gimme some cheddar!" when I was grating the cheese. And I could not wait for those omelettes to be done. When they were finally done, I dove in. So did Ollie and Mom and Dad.

We spilled some egg down the front of the stove and onto the floor, but my cat Skippy licked it up.
