Breakfast for One for Dinner

As I am currently in two plays and fighting a cold and alone for the evening, I did not feel like taking on anything too complicated. Fortunately, the book I used from last week had some simple breakfast dishes to prepare.

The menu for the meal consisted of

• apricot omelet
• fried ham
• orange juice

Sadly, I again forgot to take pictures. I really need to get the hang of this!

Apricot Omelet

This was a standard three-egg omelet with a filling consisting of 1/2-cup of apricot preserves blended with 1 Tbl of kummel (a German liqueur flavored with caraway). Believe it or not this is not only the first time I made and omelet, but the first time I had ever eaten one. With no point of reference, I'm not sure I made it properly and found following the cooking instructions tricky. I found the result tasty although I still think I prefer my eggs scrambled to omeletted.

Fried Ham

I had leftover ham from last week so I decided to pan fry a piece and use the same sauce from last week. It really is a delicious glaze and this time around I was wishing I had gone with a thinner cut of ham as suggested by the book.

Orange Juice

Still not fresh squeezed...just call me lazy!
