Bored Out of My Mind

Today is the first 100% down day we've had in awhile, and I'm so bored. There's no holiday baking to do, no friends to visit with, no errands to run, no shopping to finish, no Netflix to watch, no knitting projects to complete, and no books to read (that's not really true, but I'm not feeling the reading thing today).

On top of all that, J has decided this is his hiding place of choice.

In slightly more exciting news, I made a great omelet for breakfast. Here are the assembled ingredients.

The trick with omelets, of course, is to sautee everything first. I tossed the bacon into a cold pan, added the onions when the bacon started giving off fat, added the mushrooms as soon as the onions were heated through, and then put the spinach in to wilt before adding the eggs. Then I scrambled the mix around as if making scrambled eggs, so that most of it was cooked. I then let it take on a pan shape until the bottom browned.

When the bottom had solidified and turned golden brown, I sprinkled the cheese evenly across the top and folded the omelet into thirds. Because I had done the scrambling motion, the heat from the browned egg was enough to cook the little bit of raw egg left, as well as melt the cheese. No messy attempts to flip an omelet!
