9:32 AM >> Ziplete




I prepared my first Omelet-in-a-Bag this morning. It was so so good. I'll never prepare an omelet any other way. Boiled Ziploc omelets are the only way to go. They come out perfect. Less mess. Less clean up. And so ridiculously easy. A kid could do this without supervision and still be safe.

This morning's Ziplete contained red onion, spinach, tomato, and portabella mushrooms. It was seasoned with basil, Emeril's Italian Essence, pepper, salt, and Tabasco. As a side dish I made some Honey Buckwheat pancakes.

omelet
n : beaten eggs or an egg mixture cooked until just set; may be folded around e.g. ham or cheese or jelly

Ziploc Bags
n : a brand of resealable plastic bags and containers originally developed by Dow Chemical Company, and now produced by S. C. Johnson & Son.

[p.s. Now here is the thing of complete irony. The official Wiki definition of omelete calls it a preparation cooked "in a frying pan." Well, well, well this whole Ziploc in a bag thing just throws every prior notion of the old "what is an omelete" question straight into the trash. Because now it's prepared in a bag. And not fried. Boiled. And it is the perfect, most lovingest, and excellent omelete ever. The pedagogy of the art of omeletry now thrust into the 21st century.]
