I've been eating a lot lately. Swann makes really good food and she teaches me things about cooking. Things like: don't throw cold water into a really hot pan or the pan will distort into a misshapen freak of cookware; add water slowly to pancake mix if you want the mix to have a thicker pancake-batter-like consistency and not be all runny; buy things made in France because the French are the best.
At 1:30pm, which is shortly after we wake up, we like to turn on the telly and watch Nigella do things in the kitchen. I have been missing out, because before this week, I had no idea that Nigella and her joys of innuendo-filled cooking existed! The first time I watched her show, I couldn't tell if the show was meant as a parody of sensual foodies gone wild, or what exactly was going on with the creatively close-up camera work -- and, for once, I'm not the only one thinking depraved thoughts -- excerpted from wikipedia's Nigella Lawson entry: "'Those who did criticise her often suggested she was too flirtatious; a commentator from The New York Times said, 'Lawson's sexy roundness mixed with her speed-demon technique makes cooking dinner with Nigella look like a prelude to an orgy.'"[19]
Yes, yes it does. And her journalist/author background is intellectually appetizing. Appealing from all angles. We never leave the kitchen.
Corsican OmeletteHow:
Chopped some fresh mint and threw it into the frying pan (Tefal crêpe pan) with some olive oil.
Added two beaten eggs.
Added some cooked mushrooms leftover from the potatoes + rosemary dish.
Crumbled some goat cheese on top.
Flipped omelette in half with fancy crêpe spatula.Mouth orgasms.
SO GOOD.
The show with the Corsican Omelette recipe (at 7 minutes in). We used olive oil in lieu of butter in the pan.
