Look at me in my chef’s outfit. Smart eh? Now for a gastronomical masterclass. Move aside, Gordon Ramsey!
Right. Crack an egg, plop. Three more, plop plop plop. Whoops, one missed!
Add a drop of milk, splash. Oh, some’s spilt on the floor.
Plug in the whisk, press the button and ….. wizzzz! Oh, the ceiling!
Into the pan and a bit of a stir. Secret ingredient, a little pepper … oh, the top came off the pot! Never mind.
Onto a plate, well, most of it, and …voila!
‘Sweetheart, supper’s ready!’
‘Why that face? You can’t make an omelette without making a mess!’
Thanks to Rochelle for hosting and Todd Foltz for the photo.

Are you spying on me? Yesterday I went to make an omelet. Cracked the egg, threw the egg in the sink and put the shell in the bowl. Even I had to laugh. I’ll blame it on the virus.

Haha! One of my regular mistakes is to separate an egg and throw the wrong part down the plughole! Of course, it’s the virus – for the time being anyway!

My lips are sealed. 😉 But there is the time I left eggs on the stove to boil, came back up to my office. A while later I heard “Pop! Pop! Pop!” All of the water boiled off and the poor eggs exploded. Shell fragments and egg bits everywhere.
