"omelettes" news and stories

At first I was going to show you Julia Child's jiggling omelette technique, but then something else caught my eye -- two greats in the kitchen. Julia and Jacques Pepin team up to make a Pan Bagnat.

It's a delicious sandwich to watch come together, but the real charm of this clip is the interplay between Julia and Jacques. With even the most good-natured cooks there will be inevitable clashes, and these two are no exception -- although it's more jovial surprise and disagreement than clashing. Julia loves throwing the oil into the mix, and adding things here and there, while Pepin tries to go with the flow. But as much as he tries to run the sandwich making show, Julia's the Queen of the Kitchen. Watch to see her lay the smackdown for the appropriate Pan Bagnat beverage. Pepin's good, but he's no match for Julia!

Oh no, not another dried out flavorless omelette! Are you tired of inconsistently making decent omelettes? One of my favorite meals is a simple omelette that's done to perfection. This means it's dry on the outside and rich and creamy on the inside.

Do you eat breakfast?

I usually don't eat anything for breakfast. Yes, I know, that's bad. "Breakfast is the most important meal of the day" and all that, but I'm never in the mood to cook anything in the morning (and I'm trying not to eat as many muffins or breakfast bars), so I usually just grab a cup of hot tea. Even that's only in the fall and winter since I don't eat hot tea in the spring and summer, so I usually go breakfast-less.

However, because September is Better Breakfast Month, maybe this is the month that I actually start eating breakfast on a regular basis. Eating breakfast can actually help you lose weight and improve your mind, and the A View of America site has a ton of recipes you can try, including everything from Apple Omelettes and Eggs Benedict to Party Salmon Crepes and Swedish Pancakes.

Pity Robert Wood. The Scot has a problem: he cooks in his sleep. According to an article in the Sydney Morning Herald, Wood routinely sleepwalks, but the real problem comes when he gets into the kitchen and starts whipping up dishes - and he's not just heating up soup. His wife, Eleanor, has caught him making omelettes and spaghetti bolognese in his sleep. As expected, the couple is a bit worried that Rob is gonna burn down the house. "Every night, I have to think, 'Is Rob going to cook?'" says Eleanor. And no - no mention of Ambien in the piece.
