Bigger victory.

After many failures, I have finally learned how to cook an egg.

Inspired by Julia Child's confidence in the power of the omelet, I decided to try my hand at a 2-egg number for lunch yesterday - and it worked. I'm still not really sure how she got hers to cook in 20 seconds, since my previous attempts at high-speed egg cooking always resulted in blackened disaster - but if I allow myself 10 minutes of prep time and resist the urge to crank up the flame, I can pull off a relatively ok-looking omelet.

Next goal: not charring my grilled cheese before the cheese gets a chance to melt.

Haha, I actually just figured out omlettes myself. eggs are sooo cheap so I'm planning on lots of them. And try pasta; it's relatively fool proof.
