I Admit Defeat

As I have gotten deeper and deeper into the blogging world, I have tried more and more things in my kitchen I would have never thought possible. I know it's because of a couple things. One, the tremendous amount of support all of you show me each time you log on, and two, I love challenging myself b/c I have an outlet to share it in. I also enjoyed trying new things, but was never as adventurous as I am now. And I'm not really talking about foods per say, more so, methods and techniques. But as comfortable as I have become in my knowledge and skill, there are still a few things that I'm adult enough to admit, I will probably never be able to perfect in the kitchen. One of these? Making a beautiful omelet. It's just never going to happen; and I'm okay with that. If you can make restaurant quality omelets at home, I salute you. Mine always end up looking like...well, I'm not even sure how to describe them. Not good. We'll leave it at that. However, while I am willing to admit defeat, I am also cunning enough to find a way around that defeat. I mean, come on. I still want to eat an "omelet" like dish. So I'll take all the things I'd put into an omelet, and I'll bake it instead! Sure, it won't come out looking like an omelet, but it will still taste like one! Ha! Take that ominous omelets! If you're hosting an Easter brunch, don't stand over the stove making individual omelets for each person! Bake a couple varieties of this instead! The possibilities of ingredients and flavor combinations are endless; and you can truly take what you love most about an omelet and simply make it easier. So I guess I'm not totally giving up and admitting I can't. I'm just discovering, as my grandma used to say, "there is more than one way to skin a cat!!!" Yeah, I don't want to know how that saying started either!
