@Krista - Indeed they are a nice, quick meal.

@A Year on the Grill - You know when I blogged about Julia Child back in August, I had another man say that to me, too--a lovely British man who reads my Coffeehouse Mysteries! Back then, I also linked to the YouTube clip of her very famous Omelette Show, as well. That show has made quite an impression on so many people. Your blog today is awesome.

Cleo... you changed my life (well, my egg life)...
here's my post today, after making your (Julia's) omelette yesterday for lunch (and then for dinner for my wife, and I am going to make another for breakfast now)

Cleo, what a funny story about Spam. Love omelets. They're so satisfying.

@Katy – LOL – stay tuned…(there may be a quiche yet in this Iron Chef week!) Krista Davis will be posting her Iron Chef recipe tomorrow and Avery Aames on Monday.

@Riley, Julie, Jenn, Avery – (my fellow mystery writing cooks) – Eggs are such a fun, basic ingredient. An excellent Iron Chef suggestion—I wonder if the real Iron Chefs have tackled this (on either the Japanese or US versions). I would love to see that show if they have.

@Tasty Trix – Tasty is in the House! Thanks for stopping by! Great minds think alike, I guess. You know, I first referenced this Omelette Episode waaaaaay back in August 2009 when the "Julie & Julia" movie was first released. You can see my old August post, where I talk more about Julia, by clicking here. My old post even includes a recipe for corn muffin tops, inspired by one of Julia’s entries in The Way to Cook, a fantastic book that also gives great step-by-step photos on making a tossed omelette.

@Sheila Connolly – Saint Julia indeed! We are all indebted to her, aren’t we? You have THREE copies of MtAoFC?! There must be a story behind that…!

@Janel – On Spam…it does seem to be one of those foods father’s eat, doesn’t it? LOL! I love using Julia’s technique. Her urging us to cooking it quickly really is the key to keeping the egg tender and buttery and delicious. And thanks again, Janel, for giving us this great January ingredient!

@A Year on the Grill – You have lust in your heart after Julia?! Love it! From everything I’ve seen and read about her, she had a wicked sense of humor. I’m sure she's somewhere in the great beyond, she’s grinning right now.

Great post, Cleo. I think I'm going
to watch Julie and Julia tonight. LOL
on the cooking advice from beyond. If
Julia the ghost did whisper in my ear,
I'm quite positive I'd burn something!

My dad used to eat Spam when I was a kid. Can't remember the last time I touched it, though!

I am definitely going to try Julia's omelette technique. So simple, yet perfect.

The only time I ate Spam was at a summer camp where I was a counselor one year. We also drank a lot of "bug juice"--very high culinary standards.

Bless Saint Julia (did I mention I have three copies of Mastering the Art of French Cooking?)! Although I still haven't mastered that flip of the wrist that makes the omelette roll itself up neatly.

Eggs are in the air! I did a Julia Child stacked gateau omni omelette, it's an insane pile of dairy products - it's from the same French Chef episode as the 20 second omelette: http://tastytrix.blogspot.com/2010/01/plain-filled-and-stacked-sky-high-kids.html
You have to try it, it's crazy!! I agree - omelettes are so much fun to make, and totally addictive!

What a great post, Cleo! How fun! And now I have the Spam song running through my head. It'll probably be there all day ;-) Thanks for reminding us of Julia's charm. Wish I would have read this post this morning before I scrambled my hubby's eggs. Coulda had an omelette!

Eggs and Spam. Spam. Ham and Spam. Spam. Spam, spam, spam...ack! Stop me. :)

Oh, I just love Julia. Thanks for the link. My favorite part in this link is when it looks like Julia tosses the omelet/souffle pan on the floor. Ha!

Mushrooms and spinach in my omelets makes me happy.

Love omelets. Love Julia.

My favorite is just a simple diced green pepper and cheese, sometimes with onion if I'm in the mood, and the occasional bits of ham.

Anything much more than that should be a quiche, grins.
