Food - Uncensored

I should have said meats (and maybe cheeses?) And they need to pack it into disposible bags (so everything can be thrown away) I was able to ask her teacher some follow up questions, and I guess, it's not that strict. (we're going with lunchables)

Since I'm going also (I carry the epipen) I may just go with IGs sugestions. With maybe ice cream for dessert.

Don't forget to take along some of those lovely medications that require refrigeration.

Yeah, um... there's something just *slightly* wrong about that :)

That's actually quite cute. Took me a few seconds to realize I was looking at a cupcake.

I like imagining that the cookie monster was stuffed in such a small place.

That's awesome.

I'm feeling that certain special need coming on:

She doesn't quite have the same panache at describing the right way to make an omelette, does she?

Heh... and, if you didn't catch it, here's something she did for a gent named Phil Morrison:

Here, she intentionally burns the two foods she prepares.

She doesn't have quite the same Fleeb Sassy Omelette Attitude (tm) ... but I do like her method! No folding, no gentle manipulating and coaxing, just SHAKE THE PAN AROUND UNTIL AN OMELETTE FORMS. :)

I'm very tempted to give her method a try. It looks *fast*. And you know it's always best to make your omelette fast, so nobody else has a chance to steal it.

You've really got a problem with omelette snatchers where you are, don't you?
You should have bought a single family house. Then you could have put up an electric fence.

I'm wondering how one would go about preparing an omelette with fillings using Julia's method.

[#] Sun Jun 06 2010 12:59:47 EDT from fleeb @ Uncensored

Not sure. If you mix the ingrediants with the eggs, it's not technically an omelette anymore (it's a fritatta instead). And you'd have to cook it more slowly, as I understand.

Salt and pepper are easy enough... maybe you just have to use ingredients like that (so, no cheese or the like).

After a little experimentation, I'm finding that I can't get the eggs to slide around in the bottom of the pan like she does. Without a utensil to nudge things in the right direction, the eggs still stick to the pan.

I guess I'm just not French enough to make butter do the needful.

[#] Tue Jun 08 2010 12:16:36 EDT from Harbard @ Uncensored

Hint: You need the right shaped pan AND it has to be non-stick AND you use butter even though it is non-stick AND use fresh eggs.

Having said that....I have never successfully made an omelet either. It always turns out to be scrambled eggs.

[#] Tue Jun 08 2010 12:27:04 EDT from IGnatius T Foobar @ Uncensored

Fresh eggs are not a problem; this omelette was made with local eggs that were laid mere days ago.

I can make an omelette, and it comes out just fine, but I do have to use a spatula. I just wanted to try Julia's method for fun.

[#] Tue Jun 08 2010 17:59:32 EDT from fleeb @ Uncensored

Julia pointed out that the butter has to be brown, and she also hinted that browned salt might also help.

Much better today. I asked the IGlet what he wanted for breakfast and he said "eggs benedict." Yeah, right. We don't have any english muffins in the house right now, nor do we have any backbacon or hollandaise sauce. So it was eggs, pepperoni, and cheese on a roll instead.

After sizzling up the pepperoni in the omelette pan, there was a nice bit of oil left, and the pan was really hot. And that, of course, is the key.
A very hot, well-oiled pan. I poured the egg mixture in and then looked for my rubber spatula -- and couldn't find it. But the pan was hot enough that nothing was sticking, so I just kept shaking it back and forth like Julia did, and soon enough, I got the same effect she did. Once it was cooked, I slid half of it onto the roll, then used the edge of the pan to fold over the other half.

Perfect. IGlet enjoyed it, and the Big Fat Friendly Cat enjoyed what the IGlet didn't finished.

Ok, so while I was reviewing the original video, the IGlet took an interest and we started watching old Julia clips.

This one was really funny -- someone did a little "creative editing"

omg. the GMA music caught me off guard. I haven't seen GMA since '95, and not much since the 80s, but I used to sit on my mom's bed and watch with her when I was little... so the music...
