I have to honestly admit that what worried me the most about coming to Iowa was cooking for myself. I was afraid that I had forgotten how to make a simple meal after living at college for three years. However, this evening that fear has vanished as I once again crossed into a new dimension of independence. I made myself the best Omelet!
Ingredients?
Eggs
Milk
Cheese (best part)
Smoked turkey
Tomato
Spinach
Sprouts
A dollop of sour cream
Mixing and cutting things was pretty basic. However, it got a bit tricky when it came to the spinach…Two days ago, I thought it would be a good idea to preserve my spinach leaves in the freezer. All things frozen are presumably saved from the ills of decomposition, right? Yes, but they are not unscathed from flaccidity. As it turns out, spinach is a floppy green. As I put it out in the sun to unfreeze, it slowly turned into a highly questionable mush. It presumably suffered from the same effects as “a saggy boob after milk drainage” (quoting my aunt). Once I figured out that I could cook it in butter and cream, I felt less embarrassed by my mistake. Following a lesson in biology, the most challenging part was flipping the Omelet. And, well I am going to blow my own horn here and say that I actually FLIPPED it just like those crepe masters in the movies! Hup, swoosh and splat! The final result was…
Delicious!
It is amazing how the simplest and silliest of things can make you happy.
