Spanish Omelette

Brother J called early this morning to say there was no change in Mum.. she really is a little fighter. and we probably wont know anything else until after the doctor sees her again this afternoon. After breakfast Iof a Spanish Omelette and toast could tell that MrD was a bit restless... and probably a bit stir crazy... so I suggested a drive out to our favourite picnic spot by the river to blow away the cobwebs.
As it was quite warm already... and we should really enjoy the last days of summer... he agreed and I hurriedly put togeher a packed lunch.. and off we went... bringing Prince in tow.
We realized when we got there that other people had had the same idea and quite a few families were enjoying the Saturday sunshine 
So we moved further down the river and found a lovely rock pool
where the river was flowing quite prettily
We found a shaded spot and just relaxed for a couple of hours
just enjoying the peace and quite
and I think Prince enjoyed it too

Another call was made to Brother J when we got home. Still no change.. so we shall see what happens tomorrow

Spanish Omelette

To me... a Spanish Omelette has potatoes.. but this recipe from  The American Family Cookbook 1945 has no spuds in sight. I thought I would give it a try this morning
Nevertheless this omelette was really tasty  and may just be my new weekend breakfast.

The only changes I made was to half the recipe as there are only two of us... cut back on the salt... and I didnt fold it... because I forgot!!
4 thin slices bacon, minced
1 tomato, diced
1 onion, chopped
5 mushrooms, chopped
6 eggs
3 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon red pepper
1 tablespoon butter

  • Brown bacon. 
  • Add tomato, onion, and mushrooms. 
  • Cook slowly 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. 
  • Beat eggs with milk, salt, and pepper. 
  • Melt butter in another pan and pour eggs in. 
  • Fry slowly until eggs are set. 
  • Pour sauce from first pan over eggs. 
  • Fold omelet and turn onto a hot platter. 
  • Cover with remaining sauce from both pans. 
  • If desired, chopped green pepper may be substituted for mushrooms.
