A JULIA CHILD OMELETTE,GRILLED SHRIMPY PRAWNS aND AN AWARD I OUGHT TO B HAPPY ABOUT....
oK here's my second award of feb with a rather different twist....(first one will be posted in a bit)
And as i tell u a few stories or rather facts about the Award..u can drool over these GRILLED SHRIMPS marinated in a little bit of LITE SOY,OYSTER SAUCE,HONEY/SUGAR,VINEGAR,BALCK PEPPER CRUSHED,7 OLIVE OIL.
u CAN BRUSH A LITTLE BUTTER WHEN GRILLED TO TASTE ...
Now why diD i chose to feature grilled prawns too here....coz its A YEAR ON THE GRILL ...DAVE who besttoed this tittle upon me....
Grill grill grill...and we all love grilled....
Flattering and puts u on a tight spot too but dont worry am aiming,hopefully at making this an interesting read and i do so hope it is very much.....
Actually Dave(FROM THIS FAMOUS GRILL N DRILL BLOG) left me a note to be honoured about this award but it took me awhile to be 'happy' and thrilled about it....and there began my first lie..(jus kidding)but as i played along with happy i actually njoyed coming up with this.....really did and hope u do too...
What i felt about the award wasnt really interesting... though didn think of it as exaggeratn the truth.(as Joanne puts it-she confirmed my not being happy baout it fears:-))) )..not even slightly but took me awhile to be 'happy or honoured about this one but i skipped along being happyy and actually enjoyed writin the post on this....had fun and was giggling all the way thru.....
So after reading Dave's un truths was a little or rather totally lost in the big bad world in my tiny cocoon but regained composure soon enuf to write and all s left is a cook up for the post...hehehe
aND trying my best at that moment to be happy and thrilled this is what i replied to DAVE....
"HA Ha,Dave,ur riot ....a good riot....am sur honored to have someone with a blog as fantastic and rocking as ya to give me.....

Its easy peasy..take it easy and perhaps the best french ommey....i love the way she swirls the pan right to left and round & around ......
Ingredients
* ¤ 2 Eggs
* ¤ 1 Pinch of salt
* ¤ Ground Black Pepper
* ¤ 1 Tsp of Water
* ¤ 2 Tsp of butter
Instructions
Place a non-stick omelette pan over high heat.
Meanwhile, whisk together eggs, salt, and pepper until whites and yolks are nicely blended. Add water and whisk again briefly.
Melt butter in the hot pan, tilting to coat sides. Before the butter starts to brown, dump in the eggs.
NOW I HAD A FILLED VERSION SO HERE I SPRINKLED SOME COOKED CHICKEN CUT INTO BITS,SPINACH SHREDDED AND GRATED PARMESAN ON THE OMMMEY.
Holding the pan by its handle, move it in a swirling motion to shake the eggs loose from the sides and into a central pile. Then, as it firms up, use jerky movements to get it to sort of roll over onto itself.
nOW HONESTLY I DIDN GET IT TO ROLL SO WELL HERE SO USED A LITTLE HELP FROM LITTLE SPATULA AND YEAH HER VIDEO HELPED ME KNOW EXACLTY WHAT I WANTED...I BROWNED IT A BIT BUT IF U LIKE,U SHOULD TAKE IT OFF EARLIER.
gRATE LOADS OF PARMESAN TO COVER THE OMMEY AND SERVE WITH CILANTRO,SPINACH AND SOME MORE CHICKEN.....
