Mother's Day Omelette

 Today is Mother's Day. Mommy stayed in bed with a cup of tea and her book while Dad, Ollie, and I made omelettes for breakfast.

It's raining this morning. Here I am going out to the back yard for chives.

Me, picking the chives.

I cut up the chives for the omelette. Chives go really good with eggs.

Adding chives.

Adding mushrooms.

Getting ready to take the tray up to Mommy. We also gave her bananas and
apples with yogurt on top.

Happy Mother's Day, Mommy!

We fooled Mommy and told her -- after she had already eaten
her omelette -- that we put a special ingredient in the omelette.
Then Daddy showed her this picture! She didn't believe us!

Mediterranean Masterpiece

This omelette has mushrooms, eggplant, onion, and zucchini in it.
And feta cheese. And eggs. Daddy called this one "Mediterranean Masterpiece."
He said the flavors went well together, even though he's not a fan of eggplant.
But he always eats my omelettes, even if he doesn't like them that much.

We sauteed all the veggies in Mommy's cast iron skillet.

The veggies plus the feta cheese went into one big omelette that we cut up
and shared. Daddy got the biggest piece, Mommy and I got the  same sized
pieces and Ollie got the piece that fell apart.

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.

Dad  making  tea!  

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

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

Ollie is putting a plate on the table.

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 Mushroom and Swiss Hit-Or-Miss Omelette

In the omelette, we put rosemary, sauteed mushrooms, Swiss cheese, and caramelized onion. And eggs.

Daddy named it the Mushroom and Swiss Hit-or-Miss because some people like onions and mushrooms and some people don't. Mom, Ollie, and I loved the omelette, but Dad was not a very big fan of it.
