Happy Mother's Day - Not Just Desserts

Happy Mother's Day to all of our fabulous fans.

Whether you're a mother or not, you had one at one time.

This post is a tribute to them and to you.

To the challenges you all faced. To all your successes. To all your mistakes.

A tribute to the worlds you have conquered. To the children or pets you have raised. To the meals you have made.

To the books you have read aloud. To the unspoken heroes in each and every one of you.

May this day be a special one and open new worlds of insight and intrigue.

Mothers make the memories

Underneath the memories:

Morning's undertow.

And now a Mother's Day recipe.

Here's a simple omelet fromage. Every mother likes "simple."

Ingredients:

2-3 eggs

1 teaspoon butter

2-3 ounces of your favorite melting cheese (Monterey Jack used)

1-2 teaspoons of your favorite herbs

Directions:

Whip up the eggs.

Heat a saute pan to high. Drop in the butter. Let it sizzle. Spread it with a spatula and immediately pour in the eggs. Shake the pan to spread the egg evenly about. Turn the heat down to medium. Lifting up the sides of the omelet with the spatula, let the runny portion of the egg seep to the sides and under the cooked part. It will cook. When you feel it's almost "dry", sprinkle the cheese over the omelet. Using the spatula, fold the omelet in half. Sprinkle the herbs on top of the omelet.

Remove the omelet to a plate, and sprinkle with more herbs. Add your adornments of bread and fruit and you're done. Easy! (Easier than pie.)
