Ever since I started Yummy Supper, I have wanted to do a post on my love of omelets, which may just be my favorite meal for lunch, breakfast, or dinner for that matter. You can stuff them with greens, mushrooms, asparagus, crab, cheese, or keep it light and simple with just a bit of herbs. My mom has always made incredible omelets and she taught me her ways when I was a teenager. People can be quite opinionated about the "right" way to make an omelet. I'm not so sure I buy into dogmas, but I do know that this is an omelet I love - the eggs are nice and fluffy, while the inside is tender and filled with goodies.
SPINACH + FETA OMELET (makes two)
(printable recipe)
- large bunch spinach, leaves removed and cleaned
- 1 small hot chili (optional), finely chopped
- 4 small or 2 large cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 shallot, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 3 tablespoon butter (1 for cooking the spinach + 2 more tablespoons for cooking the eggs)
- 4 tablespoons crumbled feta
- 4 large or 6 small eggs
- salt
- pepper
First, prep all of your ingredients for filling. In a large saute pan, heat 1 teaspoon olive oil with 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat until bubbling. Add chili, garlic, and shallots. Cook a minute or two until everything starts to soften. Add the washed spinach leaves (we used beautiful water spinach - an ubiquitous ingredient in Bali - but any spinach would be wonderful.) Stir to coat. Saute until tender. Remove cooked spinach from heat and set aside to cool a bit. When the spinach is cool enough to handle, squeeze out any excess water. (If you don't, you'll end up with a sad, watery omelet.) Rough chop spinach and separate into 2 piles. Set aside.
Crumble feta. Set up two equal sized piles of cheese (2 tablespoons each).
Most people who regularly cook omelets have a pan they use just for this purpose. A little well-seasoned cast iron pan with rounded sides is my favorite at home in California. In Bali, where we made omelets at least once a week for lunch, we used a non-stick pan and it worked just fine.
In a small mixing bowl, thoroughly whisk 2 large, or 3 small, eggs. Add a pinch of salt (you may not need any salt at all if your feta is really salty), a few grinds from the pepper mill, and a splash of water. Whisk to integrate.
Here's the way my mom taught me, and this is the method I will pass on to my kids. I hope you like it too!
All of the cooking happens in a number of minutes so be patient with yourself if you are new to cooking omelets.....
Warm pan over medium heat. Plop in a tablespoon of butter. Tilt pan to coat all sides with the butter. When butter is hot and the bubbling has slowed, pour in eggs. Again, tilt the pan to spread the eggs evenly over the bottom of the pan.
When the eggs begin to cook, and big bubbles form, start the technique I show in the photos below: Use a wooden spoon to pull back the eggs from the side of the pan, then tilt the pan letting the runny egg fill the void....
Do this in three or four places until you have a nice, rumpled surface....
Then add cheese....
Then spinach....
Then flip that omelet out of the pan and you are ready to eat.
Makes 2 omelets.
Travel note: We made it to the Greek Islands - so dreamy, yet completely different from Bali. Will have photos to share soon...

As always the show was wonderful. I've never knitted with 100% bamboo. I did take a look at the colors they're all great but if I had to choose one I'd go for the Soft Pink Rose.

I like most of the colors, but Meadows is my favorite. I absolutely love the Spring Garden T pattern. It's simple and elegant. Lovely.

Nice to know you're feeling better, Alana, and to catch an update from you. Also, thanks so much for all the info about Be Sweet. They've been on my radar for awhile now thanks to the GORGEOUS "Caprica" shawl pattern, and I've poked about on their website a bit, but it was nice to get so much detail from you about the company.
The bamboo yarn they have looks luscious - I think the Royal Blue's got to be my favorite from what's available on One Planet Yarn. :-)
Take care, and until next time!! - June 3, 2010 at 1:42 PM

I love the tee! The kit is on my wishlist at One Planet. I think of the colors One Planet currently has in stock my favorites are the soft rose pink and the royal blue. If I could choose from the color card I would pick sea green or plum.

Normally I see a stockinette garment and think "Pretty, but I wouldn't be able to stand making that." But this pattern demands that I knit it. Lovely job! I think it'd be perfect for me in the Green Tea or Lilac colorway.

I am so excited that you upsized this pattern for Adults. It's very elegant. I like the new Silver Mint colorway the best, but I think the Champagne you chose for the design is lovely, too.
- June 7, 2010 at 3:04 PM
I really like the pattern (which is unusual for me - I don't always understand knitted t-shirts), and I think it'd be fun to make one in the soft olive green.
And I'm so glad you liked the bamboo! My first to knitting projects were made with a bamboo blend and a 100% bamboo yarns, and I liked the way they felt as I worked with them, and as I wear the FOs! - June 7, 2010 at 3:12 PM

I think this tee in the champagne colour you chose would go perfectly with a green and gold silk skirt my MIL brought me from India. Also love that it's top down.
I really enjoy your podcasts, they are informative but also laid-back funny. As to your blog, I am constantly seeing projects on I'd love to make myself, and your photos are book-worthy. Honestly - they are better than most knitting-magazine ads. Thanks! - June 12, 2010 at 11:51 AM

"This is another chance to prove that I'm one of the best fighters on the planet." - Mark Hunt
In 2011, heavyweight Mark Hunt told UFC.com if he didn't win his next fight he'd be looking for a new organization or a new line of work. If he beats Junior dos Santos in their fight this Saturday at UFC 160, he could be in line for a title shot. And while he doesn't gush about his own achievements, he admits he's proud of how far he's come.
"I am pretty proud of it, going from where I was to where I am today, so it's great."
Heavy hitter Junior Dos Santos believes he can knock Mark Hunt out. Hunt, a former K-1 kickboxing World Grand Prix champion, knows it's a possibility. But he doesn't expect the fight to unfold that way.
"Everyone thinks they can knock me out, but anyone can be knocked out. If he gets you in the right spot you're gonna get knocked out. Vice versa, the same goes for him. If he thinks he's gonna have an easy road, he's wrong. We'll see who gets knocked out on the night."
Hunt won't be surprised if Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt dos Santos tries to take him down after getting a taste of the standup.
"That's what happens with everybody (they try to take me down). I can stand and bang all day, it's just a matter of timing, when I get them. We'll see what happens on the 25th. We'll see who's doing what."
Hunt's last fight ended with a brutal third round TKO victory over Stefan Struve, after a massive left hook broke the Dutchman's jaw. Despite Hunt's emphatic finish, Struve had some strong moments in what was a back and forth battle.
"It had been a year that I hadn't fought. I wasn't all there. He was a tall guy, it was hard to get the timing, I got beat up a bit, but in the end, I got there and that's all I really needed, the victory."
While Hunt has fallen prey to submissions in the past, he's also demonstrated an impressive resilience in some bad positions on the ground. He found himself under the 7 foot tall contender's mount several times, but didn't feel in any danger.
"It didn't really matter, I just stayed there (laughs). Tried a few positions to escape, didn't really bother me. I was fine."
Hunt was recently awarded a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under black belt Steve Oliver. MMA coach and fighter Oliver has long been a fixture in Hunt's career, and it's a relationship the "Super Samoan" is grateful for. For Hunt, people like Oliver haven't been easy to find in the fight game.
"It's always good to have a friend that helps like you like Steve. It's been a long journey for us from way down to where we are now. It's good to have someone on board who helps you wholeheartedly, not just for their own reasons, so I've been blessed to have Steve a part of my life as a fighter. Onwards and upwards."
Hunt says he has seen his share of cheats throughout his long career.
"Management's always been an issue for me as a fighter. I've been through 4 or 5 of them, and it's always been a bad run with management. Management just doesn't help you these days; they're just into cheating people and running their own little scams. Sometimes you can catch them before they do something stupid or take you for a ride, but sometimes you just don't get there."
Hunt has been sparring with a team assembled by Oliver to prepare for dos Santos, in addition to doing strongman-type training for his conditioning.
"(I have) A few training partners, I had a group of guys that I've been working with in New Zealand, some young guys, some old guys. Like I said it's good to have Steve Oliver's team to help me."
Hunt has been an elite fighter for over a decade, so when asked if he finds himself training a little harder with a title shot so close, he replies no.
"I've been fighting at the top level for 15 years; there's not much different from then to now. There's just more people watching. I've been working hard on everything so I'm prepared. Prepared for battle."
The "Super Samoan" is buoyed by support from fans in his birthplace of New Zealand and adopted home of Australia. He's won a world title in kickboxing as an underdog from Oceania, and now he's trying to do it in MMA.
"It's good to have the support (of fans in Australia and New Zealand). Australia and New Zealand is a small place, and I've been doing it for a long, long time. I won the K-1 title before as a person from down under before and this is another chance to prove that I'm one of the best fighters on the planet."

Lily had a great time modeling this skirt despite the high noon heat and shouted "Quack, Quack. That's duck for goodbye!" as we made our way home.
When I saw this Alexander Henry fabric I immediately asked for a yard. After seeing the print of the large bird feeding on seeds, the wheels in my head started spinning. I wanted to make a skirt with a tiny pocket on the side, large enough to carry a handful of birdseed.
But I didn't just want to make a simple skirt....so I made it reversible! It's the first reversible piece of clothing I've sewn since the kindergarten pinafore. After that nightmare I feared I'd never attempt a reversible piece again but I think enough time has passed for me to ease my way into one again....starting with this simple skirt. As you can see, the reverse side is green with a bird print pocket and trim.
(see below)
I made the waist 19" so I would say it would fit a 3t-5t. PLUS, if you leave a comment I will include the matching rickrack doublebanded headband, see below.
This giveaway is for the reversible skirt only.
Last day for posts is WEDNESDAY 7/30/08. Winner will be announced FRIDAY morning!
As usual, if you would like a chance to win this skirt just link back to this post. If you have any questions see the "questions and answers" link to the right. If you use blogger just use the "create a link" link at the bottom of this post. If you don't use blogger, that's fine too. Just create a link on your page as you normally would and I will see it using Technorati.
I've also had a couple people ask whether or not it is a problem if their blog is private. No, it is not a problem. I've seen plenty of private blogs in Technorati but if for some reason you don't think your blog is being recognized by Technorati, just let me know you've blogged in a comment to be sure.

Compassionate Garden Pest Control
Pests are a part of gardening. Period. And although traditional techniques (like the ones recommended by the Chicago pest control experts at the University of Illinois Extension Service) revolve around killing these creatures – either chemically or manually – a small but enthusiastic group of food growers is re-imagining the ethics of gardening. And including a strict "no-kill" policy. If you are interested in trying out these new humane techniques, be sure to connect with pest control near you to find a local service offering these techniques.
From bugs to birds to bunny rabbits, you can control almost every animal annoyance without resorting to violent means. But before you even begin to target the critters, there are a few very general rules for keeping your crops protected: 1) growing in raised beds as opposed to the ground, 2) using scattered and diverse planting patterns (no monocultures) and 3) practicing crop rotation each season. These are fundamental to a healthy backyard food or flower ecosystem.
As for the actual pests, aim to reduce them, not to completely wipe them out. You've got to be realistic, and work with the natural world, not against it. Focus your energy on making your plants strong. Healthy soil will build hardy plants that can handle a small assault now and them. Try to include plenty of pest-deterrent allies, like marigolds, garlic, basil, coriander, thyme, dahlias, dill, etc. And finally, for those pesky little pests . . .
Build Barriers for Snails and Slugs
A fence around a fortress, a moat around a castle and a ring around your tomatoes: walls work! An easy homemade version is a section of 2-liter soda bottle, 6-10 inches high, encircling each plant at the base. The crawlies can creep up, but they won't get over.
Another effective and store-bought solution is copper tape (the kind that plumbers use). This is just exactly what it sounds like – strips of copper that are sticky on one side. Snails and slugs won't cross the copper. I use it to line the ledges of all my raised beds.
Trap and Transplant
There are a number of easy ways to ensnare your garden enemies. Try planting a few sacrificial plants in easy-to-access locations (like in the ground beside the raised beds). Brassicas work especially well for drawing bugs away.
Snails and slugs like to hide during the hot day, so give them a place to go like an easy-to-flip piece of stone or a piece of log, for example. I like to use wide wooden planks. All of these make great slug-collectors, so you'll always know where they're hiding during the day.
Giving them a treat – like apple cores or melon rinds – is an excellent way to draw them out. The bugs will flock to the fruity bits.
Once you've set all these traps, it's just a matter of checking them. Collect the bad bugs in a bucket while you're weeding and pruning in your beds. Pull them off the sacrificial plants and out from under your slug collectors and off the flavorful fruits. Then take that bucket and move the whole lot of them – to the front yard, the nearest park or wherever you see fit. I have an overgrown median strip dividing the street in front of my house – I like to walk my bad bugs over there to drop them off.
The Big Guys (Birds and Mammals)
Depending on where you live, you may be contending with heftier foes. But that's fine; you can still fight back. Nets are effective at keeping out all sorts of hungry critters. Scaffolding is easy to build, and netting can be purchased at any garden supply store. Just remember to leave areas that you can reopen, so you can get in there and work (and harvest!)
There are no-kill rodent traps for capturing rats, gophers, and groundhogs. Just remember to check them daily, and you'll have to figure out where you're going to release them (like the woods or a local park).
It's an oldie but goodie: bars of soap will keep the deer away. Try putting a strongly scented bar in an old pair of pantyhose and hanging them near your plants. Deer-deterrent magic!
If neighborhood cats and dogs are your problem, some people have found success at keeping them out of flower beds by sprinkling chopped up grapefruit peels on their flower beds.
And there you have it, a few easy steps and you'll be able to get our garden certified "cruelty-free". Got any other ideas? We'd love to hear, so share in the comments!

Drive Type | Solid-State Drive | This defines whether the drive is a large-capacity slower hard disk drive, a smaller-capacity but much faster solid-state drive, or a hybrid | |
Physical Size | 2.5" | The size of the drive dictates which drive bays it will fit into - generally a small drive will fit into any bigger drive bay with an adapter | |
Capacity | 120GB | The drive storage capacity is the limit to the size of files that can be stored | |
Release Date | 01 May 2011 | The later the release, the more likely manufacturer support will still be around | |
Power Required | 3W | HDDs should generally require very little power to run, and SSDs even less | |
Read Speed | 525MB/s | The read speed is how fast the drive can read from data stored on it | |
Write Speed | 500MB/s | The write speed is how fast the drive can store data | |
IOPS | 85000 | The IOPS (Input/Output Operations Per Second) is a common benchmark used to measure drive performance | |
Drive Interface | SATA 6Gb/s | The interface is the type of motherboard connection and defines the bandwidth limit of the drive |
The OCZ Technology Agility 3 120GB is a solid-state drive, which means it stores data using flash memory similar to how USBs store data, but much more effectively. Solid-state drives perform much more effectively than hard disk drives, with faster read/write speeds, lower latencies, and even higher physical shock resistance, but come at a price premium. An SSD will cost much more than an HDD with an equivalent storage capacity - although SSDs are becoming cheaper and more viable over time. A common choice is to use a small SSD for an OS installation such as Windows for fast boot times and OS performance, and to use an HDD for applications and files. This avoids the negative point that over-use of data-writing can eventually lead to SSD degradation (although modern SSDs are said to take years before degradation), because Windows does not write much data, but its data is read often.
The OCZ Technology Agility 3 120GB is a high-performance SSD and superior to any HDD.
Its read speed of 525MB/s is very fast, and should thus provide very quick loading speeds for applications and games. Its write speed of 500MB/s is quite fast, which should allow you to store data relatively quickly.
With a capacity of 120GB, the OCZ Technology Agility 3 120GB has a fairly small amount of storage space, in which you could install Windows, some sizable applications, and store some large files. However big the drive, an SSD should always have enough unused memory to be able to rotate space and minimize the reuse of the same areas of the drive. Because each block of space has a limited lifespan, by spreading out the reuse of space it prolongs the lifespan of the SSD as a whole.
Using the SATA 3.0 6Gb/s interface this SSD will not be limited by its motherboard connection.
A form factor size of 2.5" is standard for laptop drives and solid-state drives, and this will fit into any 2.5" drive bay. These drive bays are not yet ubiquitous, but it will also fit into a standard 3.5" or 5.25" drive bay with the appropriate adapter.

When people put together different fashion trends or try to being back a past trend and it just doesn't work out.
I am not sure that headbands were ever really a female fashion hit, but I can tell you that Mia made a huge fashion mis-statement with that one tonight. She looked silly.

This is a delicious way to prepare cauliflower. It's similar to the taste of a potato pancake and makes a fabulous side dish – your kids will love them!
My Sicilian friend Julia is a wonderful cook. I remember the first meal I ate in her NYC apartment; lamb chops and fried cauliflower which she calls broccoli a pasteta[1]. She joked that day you can fry a sponge and it would taste good – she's probably right. These are a lightened version of her recipe, made with Pecorino Romano, parsley, egg, garlic, white whole wheat flour and just enough oil to saute them in a pan.
Cauliflower Fritters
Servings: 8 • Size: 2 fritters • Old Points: 2 • Weight Watcher Points+: 3 pt
Calories: 139 • Fat: 6 g • Carb: 14 g • Fiber: 4 g • Protein: 7 g • Sugar: 1 g
Sodium: 269 mg • Cholest: 61 mg
- 6 cups roughly chopped raw cauliflower (from 2 small heads)
- 3 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 cup white whole wheat flour
- 2 extra large eggs, beaten
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tbsp grated Pecorino Romano
- 1/4 cup parsley, finely chopped
- 1/3 cup hot water
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt and pepper
- 4 teaspoons olive oil
Steam the cauliflower in 2 1/2 cups water over medium heat until tender, about 5 to 6 minutes. Drain and quickly rinse under cold water to stop it from cooking. Chop the cauliflower into smaller pieces with a knife once steamed and measure to make 5 cups. Set aside the rest for another use.
In a large bowl, combine the steamed cauliflower, flour, garlic, eggs, grated cheese, parsley, 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt and pepper. Add water so that batter becomes slightly more dense than pancake batter.
Heat a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, add 1 teaspoon of oil coating bottom of the pan. Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to form fritters. You can fit 4 fritters at a time, flattening them slightly with the back of the measuring cup. Cook until golden brown, about 2 1/2 to 3 minutes on each side. Repeat with the remaining oil and batter 3 more times.
