Adam’s Omelets

So, what do you do when you’ve got a 14-year-old like this one, who can whip up the kind of omelet you see in the above photo? That’s right, ya’ take him on the road! This is the same Adam of mine who lost his head for the camera a few posts back. In this image to the left, he’s actually cooking the omelet in the above pic. Turned out beautifully in my opinion. How cool is that? Here he’s in a small cottage in Canada using a pair of professional-grade butane stoves I’d picked up at an Asian grocery up in Ann Arbor, along with foodservice-grade WearEver Lincoln skillets with CoolTouch handles, which I’d gotten at GFS Marketplace. He made 10 omelets this past weekend, practicing for an omelet buffet he and I will be cooking for in mid-October. In this instance he’s used a store-brand olive oil, Egg Beaters, cubes of real ham, low-fat shredded cheese, and turkey bacon on the side with the toast. The previous day he was practicing with real bacon, and omelets made from real eggs mixed with 2% milk on both days. He’s getting pretty darn good at this. I think dad’s got some competition in the cooking area in this one. Bring it on, son! Dad’s so proud … 😉
