I’m having so much fun cooking on a full-size stove, that I thought a I’d have a go at making a Spanish omelette. My camper-van omelettes were fairly well received, so this is the natural progression. Alas, I got a little over-excited with being allowed to put onion into a dish (SQ doesn’t much like them) and put in way too much; two whole ones to be precise. Suffice to say that I overcooked it too and burnt the base.
Still, I turned it over to disguise the black bits and the punter didn’t have a clue. It only took a single bite to confirm my fears. Lessons learnt:
1. Don’t put two whole onions into a Spanish omelette.
2. Turn it over sooner than before.

Hi Claire, Great to read that you are still having a fantastic time, long may it continue. Now that you have mastered omelettes perhaps you can give us some advice. Here in Crystal Palace we have the heavy decision of choosing a restaurant for the teacher’s Christmas thing. Any suggestions? David.

Hi David
Great to hear from you. Well, Dave and I always enjoyed Tamnag Thai, as well as Joannas and Lorenzos, but I know the teachers have been to the latter two before. Blue and Orange in Thornton Heath is cosy with good food, and is reasonably priced too.
I’m doing a couple of hours teaching a week now in Spain, to a class of 13 year olds. It’s fun and good experience!
If you have any advice for travelling in Morocco, Libya or Egypt let us know as we may be going there in the new year, visas permitting.
Hope the meal goes well, Claire

Since the omlette episode there don’t appear to be any further entries on your blog. Just wondered if there was any connection ? It didn’t look THAT bad !
