Football, Food & Fauna
The big news this week is that England have reached their first football final since 1966. It has been a somewhat fortuitous journey. Ukraine in the quarters and Denmark in the semis is a pretty easy draw all things considered.
On Sunday, they face the Azzurri in the European Championship Final. I have been thoroughly enjoying the games. At the beginning of the tournament I had a punt on Italy, so even if disaster strikes the cloud will have a silver lining, albeit a meagre one.
In other news, I made this omelette. It took me ninety seven attempts to reach perfection. With the depth of knowledge and experience at my disposal, I feel confident that I will be able to repeat the feat several more times over my lifetime.
Got this ice cream by the sea last weekend. This seaside staple used to be called ’99 Flake’ back in the day. These days they go by the name ‘Mr Whippy’. We can thank Americanisation for that.
Well, that’s the exciting news out of the way.
Here are two pictures of deer taken this week.
Right, time to get some of the grass cut before it starts raining again.
Ooh, I’m terrible at making omelettes too. They always stick to the pan. I must put in a special request for my daughter to make one for me. 🙂
Now there’s an idea, Heather. Have a good weekend.
Omelets take a low and slow approach. Also room temperature eggs fluff up nicely.. My method. Beat the eggs and add milk. Let sit for at least half hour. Melt a table spoon of butter in a skillet. on low heat. Pour in the eggs. Cover the pan and walk away. Come back in 15 minutes and the egg will be fluffy and cooked. Put your filling on 1/2 of the egg and fold over. Cover again so that the heat will melt the cheese or whatever you put in there. Also, if some of the egg is still uncooked it will cook in the fold over process. Serve hot. Mister Whippy? Hahaha. Hope you got your grass mowed. Have a great weekend.
You’ve opened my eyes to a whole new method, John. Have a good weekend.
Be careful with the temperature. Too high and the omelet will be crusty. Just right will give a nice golden color. Good luck.😊
