Saturday omelette


There's nothing like a good work out followed by a satisfying breakfast on a Saturday morning. Before getting back to work of course. After getting home from a tiring Konga work out, I decided that an omelette would be the cherry on top of a good morning.

Ingredients
(Serves two)

4 Eggs
1 Tomato diced
A few slices of ham diced
1 teaspoon of my seasoning chilli mix (garlic, ginger, chilli, and onion diced very small, in some olive oil and salt)
The chilli mix can be replaced with dices onion if preferred.

  • Separate the whites and yolk, setting the yolk aside and putting the whites in a mixing bowl. Beat the whites until fluffy and light.
  • Add salt, pepper and the chilli mix to the egg yolk, mix in.
  • Mix the egg yolk into the fluffy egg whites, add the ham and tomato.
  • Pour into a warm pan over a bit of olive oil or butter, on a medium heat.
  • After bottom layer has set and turned golden, flip on half over and let it cook a little longer.
  • Half the omelette, flip each part over, let it cook a little more, and you have a delicious little breakfast. I enjoyed it with a slice of whole grain bread, a bit of butter, and a cool glass of orange juice.
Bon appétit!

Update from under the books - Parsley potatoes

I'm guessing that I'm the most absent blogger around, though with a somewhat good excuse... My last semester is hectic, and will be until the 12th of October: dissertation due date! At the moment its all about getting the dissertation and other assignments done, to an adequate standard given the time frame, and more so, the stress level. Besides from uni work, I've been quite distracted by something I've finally given a try after years of wanting to... Acting. I've been involved in three projects in the last two weeks (student short films and a 60s-70s music video), and can't wait to do more! Though I'll probably have to put it on hold until the end of this semester, I'm really looking forward to having the time to go to auditions, and learn more about performing.

I have quite a few recipes and travels to share, and look forward to sharing them, probably, unfortunaley only after this semester is done..... Good luck to everyone that's the same boat! Sorry for not giving you more excuses to procrastinate during this deadly period ;o) But it's neeaaarrrlllyyy over!!!

Here's a quick tip for a snack or a side: Olive oil, butter and parsley potatoes.

Ingredients

2 Potatoes cut into wedges
1/2 tbsp Butter
1 tbsp Olive oil
Fresh parsley
Salt

 Melt the butter in a pan with the olive oil. Add the potato wedges, and about 3 minutes before you removing the wedges from the pan add salt and parsley. Serve as a snack or a side.
