Well Hello Internet!
Over the weekend I was up at my parents farm – Herondale Farm – and i took some photos of the farm stand, filled with all the good stuff from the Fall Harvest. All the delicious looking vegetables come from Sol Flower Farm.
Check them out, and if you have the chance – check out the farm too.
Hello internet!
Well i’ve added some new features to the website, which may not be noticed at first, but you may find them very useful. The first feature is a Search bar. It should be on the top right…
you can use this to search for anything on jackiscooking.com
The next feature that will also making browsing easier is the Cooking Cloud. It is also in the right menu bar of the website, and contains different ingredients that i have used over time. It is automatically arranged by the frequency of use of the ingredient, with the most used ingredients a larger font.
Apparently the ingredient i use the most is Cheese! It also appears that after arranging itself by use, once it gets to ingredients i’ve used only once it turns alphabetical. All very sensical if you ask me.
Also i have made it easier to comment, so now anybody can comment, not just people with Google accounts! So Comment away! Feedback is always good.
And finally, and probably the most important, is i have added more ways to subscribe to the blog, including an Google, Bloglines, Netvibes, Newsgator, Yahoo, and Atom – which is an RSS option.
RSS is pretty cool, you can get it to automatically come into your mail program, or other RSS readers.
All the different ways to subscribe are in the right menu bar.
So, Search, Comment and Subscribe away!
Well hello Internet!
Tonight I am making a Spanish Omelette, also known as a Tortilla. My mom used to make this for me all the time when i was a kid. its delicious and very easy to make. I have thrown in a little twist to the standard omelette but otherwise the method is the same.
First I put some onions and potatoes that I had sliced very thinly into a pan with a good amount of olive oil. Next I added some broccoli, but only the stalk of the broccoli which I also sliced very thinly.
Here is everything in the pan:
i cooked everything in the oil over a medium low heat for about 20 minutes. then i turned the heat up quite high just for 5 minutes, to give the potatoes a little crispy edge around the outsides, and to get the onions to caramelize just a bit.
after that i took 4 eggs that i scrambled and poured them over the potatoes
let that cook a little bit and then when the omelette is mostly cooked its time to flip it. you need to use a plate. slide the omelette onto a plate so that the uncooked eggs are still on the top. now then holding the plate in your strong hand, put the pan upside down over the plate. then flip!
cook it for just a minute or two more and then slide it back onto the plate. and your done!
its good with some salad, and some toast.
its quite filling so i will have leftovers for lunch tomorrow also!
Ingredients list:
Eggs
Potatoes
Broccoli
Onions
s+p
olive oil
