My sleep patterns have gone pear-shaped. Last night I fell asleep at 17:00, waking briefly around 1:00, and eventually rising at 5:00; then I crashed again from 9:00 to 10:00 (when something fell over in anoher room).

The hoped-for upside to this is that I'll be feeling decently rested instead of crashy again when time for rehearsal rolls around this evening. Knock wood, cross fingers, etc.

The downside, of course, is that a lot of stuff that got put off until yesterday is now put off again.

For breakfast, I made something I've decided to call an "egg indecision" unless I discover that it's already got another name: a cross between an omelette and a frittata, where some of the "fillings" (including nearly all of the cheese) are stirred in before the eggs hit the skillet, and the rest are folded inside omelette-style after the mixture has cooked enough to have a cohesive shape. (Or is this just an established omelette variant that I just don't encounter in restaurants? I use roughly equal parts cheese and egg -- sometimes a bit more cheese -- if that matters.)

This doesn't mean I can make omelettes yet -- I still need more practice, and today's breakfast did fall apart as I was folding it -- but I'm making progress on that front.

Hmm. On second thought, since it's a cross between a dish with a Spanish-sounding name and one with a French-sounding name, maybe I should pick a word from another romance language...

At the Intercon hotel's breakfast buffet this weekend, they made my omelette by putting most of the ingredients (ham, peppers) in the pan first and sauteeing a bit, then adding the eggs and doing most of the cooking, and adding only the cheese at the last minute before folding it. Maybe that's the way most places do it, since I don't usually get to watch them being made.

Just get down here. I have eggs and anything alse you'd want and can omelette. Sheesh. I made a pot of rajma last night. A bean omelette? Urf. What's so tough about making eggs roll over and cook the way you want them to? They're such passive things. Their bad habits are well known and can be compensated for. Sheesh.
