L'omelette de Marie~

First you need eggs..preferably eggs that are in your family..

Just kidding..but our son-in-law had just given us some beautiful eggs from his girls..and Marie had just posted a recipe that looked so good..
I made it for lunch on that cold Valentine's Day we  had.
You can find Marie's recipe here..and below..

I had extra mushrooms..so I used them also..and my garlic scape chives..geesh they freeze so well all chopped up..you always have some on hand!

Here's what I did because of the extra ings..

6 rashers of bacon
as many mushrooms as you want I had about 1.5 cups
salt and pepper
3 eggs
1/4 cup milk
garlic chives

some sharp cheddar cheese..

Start by partially cooking the bacon in  water.. Bring water to a boil in your omelet pan..and cook bacon..drain water..cook bacon longer until crisped up..
Remove from pan..cook sliced mushrooms until well done and burnished;)  Not boiled.:)Season them.
Remove..drain fat..add 1 tbsp of butter ..heat the same pan..
meanwhile you have whisked up your eggs w/ the milk...season..add garlic scape chives if you have..
Put the mix in the hot pan..and cook..lifting up around the omelet so that the omelet will cook,
When omelet is golden brown and done..lay the bacon on one side.. top with the cheese and the mushrooms.
Fold omelet over and serve.
One omelet is perfect for Jacques and I..I cut it in half.
I love a good omelet;)♥

It's been miserable here weather wise..winds..freezing rain..power outages..

I keep busy..

I am so grateful for busy and still grateful for winter..just not for power outages..

a vintage cigar box came in handy today..

Since I aquired this WN travel set..maybe 3 years ago..I have ..

disliked it a lot.

You rarely  hear me say that.

It was hard to open..every aspect was hard to open..and the water bottle?

OHMYGOSH.

Ripped the corner on the water bottle the first time I opened it..so not even out of the proverbial gate and the bottle leaked.

So I have hated it .

Nothing worked well in my kit..

and seeing the bottle wrapped in Saran..bugs me.always.

So I put it aside..FOREVER.

It's the Field Box plus and I think I got a lemon.

Love lemons..;) just not in a paint kit..

and then I found the cigar box...  and put the WN kit in it..with brushes and papers ..and a little easel type thing to hold paper up..little cups for water..and Fantastix..an eraser..a Micron..etc..

Just looking at it..makes me much happier. And I don't smoke.

I love things..that make other things seem so much better.
A cigar box can do that;)
It hides Saran Wrap well~:)

Windy Saturday night for a change here..;)
