Perfect omelette
The gentleman taking my order at Hamburger Haven on Tuesday morning seemed dismayed when I requested an all-egg-white omelette. "Our eggs are very good," he said with a slight frown. I deferred and took my omelette with whole eggs, no cheese. And I'm glad I did.
Look at that perfectly cooked blanket of eggs. It was full of tasty sauteed mushrooms and nothing else. No leeks or feta or heirloom tomatoes or ham or goat cheese or preserved lemons or baby spinach or smoked salmon or hand-picked rosemary or creme fraiche. Just a plain and simple omelette. Divine. And I was starving after dropping off my car and then walking about two miles before I found this place. Luckily, this was before I encountered the pig truck.
The potatoes, on the other hand, were a little greasy.

I'm sitting at home playing with the NaBloPoMo randomizer and waiting for my friend to come and pick up her dog so we can head out to dinner together. I'm STARVING! But I'm trying not to spoil my dinner before she gets here and the randomizer sends me to the picture you took of the most beautiful omelette ever to grace a plate. Can you hear my stomach growling?
Oh, great! Now I've got a real bad case of egg envy! Thanks, Ariel! Thanks. A. Lot.
