1. I have NOT been in the mood to cook lately. Today at five forty-five p.m. I hadn't even thought about supper yet. I had quite a few eggs in the fridge, some bacon ends and pieces, and colorful peppers. Also had a variety of cubed cheese left from the charcuterie board I made for book club. I fried some pieces of bacon in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. After cooked to fairly crisp, I set aside on paper towel to wick away grease. I removed some of the bacon grease from the skillet, and added the chopped onion and pepper to the pan. When they were tender, I crumbled the bacon and sprinkled it evenly over the top of the onion and peppers. On top of the bacon, I added some cubes of smoked cheddar, gruyere, and jack cheese about every 3 inches across the top, as the cubes were about 1" cubes, I didn't want to over do it. Then I poured six beaten eggs over the top. As the edges cooked, I lifted them with a spatula to let the uncooked egg flow to the bottom of the pan. Then I lowered the heat to low, and put a lid on the skillet to let the eggs cook through.
After a few minutes, I folded the omelet, cut it in half, then plonked the two halves on plates. We were eating by six thirty. And actually, this was the best meal I made this week. The outside of the omelet was tender, but lightly browned from the bacon having been cooked in the pan first. The cheese cubes melted into little cheesy pools. The eggs were just perfectly cooked; still moist, but cooked through.
It was possibly the best omelet I've ever made, I didn't have to work too hard, and I used up things from the fridge that needed using. I'm considering making another one for breakfast in the morning. 😋
2. After bemoaning the sad state of my bra-drawer contents, I decided to buy a new model to give it a try. If it passes the comfort and support test, I will get more before letting the old ones go.
3. I remembered to water the plants before they croaked. Honestly, these monsteras are the hardiest plants ever!
4. I started the next book for book club. It was one we chose because it had been an Amazon First Reads option that several of us had clicked on for free (for Prime members), and others of our group were able to get it for free as well after the club met.
5. I have a 2026 calendar (23" x 34") in my shopping cart. It's the whole year on one large sheet, and it has daily squares big enough to write a couple of appointments on. It can just sit there till I have other things to add to the order.
