Yet another newbie

Re: Meet Butterflygazer...

If you can scramble eggs, you're halfway there! I always use 3 eggs and whip in some milk, or half and half, until there're no yellow streaks. Dump that in a pan on medium heat and cook until it sets. While doing that, I round up the ingredients. Might be chopped onions and some left over burger that's been browned and partially heated in the microwave. String that down the middle, put your cheese on and let it begin melting, fold over and slide it off onto a plate.
I dunno, :shrug: that's the way I do it.

Will you make me an omlette???? Please!!

And make you husband do his share -- if he won't cook inside, encourage him to learn to grill and BBQ. And show him how to load the dishwasher!

My husband does cook. He is the best cook:heart: I am the one that wants to cook for him and clean for him like in the olden days. I am a stay at home mom and i want to do this for him!

Pick a dish you want to make for your man, sweetheart, and us old folks will walk you through it, step by step, no fail (almost) guaranteed! We have awesome recipes, from simple to complex.

BTW, you will fail -- we all do from time to time. It's part of the learning process, but there are few things you can mess up so bad that they're inedible -- except burned to a crisp and too much salt or spice. Don't get down on yourself when it happens, just make a mental note so you don't repeat the error. If you're like me, it will take after about 10 or 20 times.
 
Re: Meet Butterflygazer...

It's a very sad story but here it is. After 37 years of marriage, my life resembles that of a nun's - hence the chain smoking (oral fixation, ya know).

:yum::yum::yum:

Oral fixation, eh????:brows::brows: Stop by the office and ask for Dr. Doughy Joey. He can cure what ails ya.:yum::yum:

And some of them (like Doug here) are truly helpful, butterfly!

Alright,:yankchain: , I have an "olden days" recipe that I will post tomorrow (I hope). My husband grew up eating it, and he still loves it. It's Easy/Easy--easy to prepare, easy on the budget. And, it's very tasty.
 
Re: Meet Butterflygazer...

BTW, my daughter has two kids 18 months apart. My wife and I were concerned that maybe they didn't know what caused them, but apparently they got that fixed, so to speak.

Anyway, my daughter didn't know diddly about cooking -- she was best at making reservations. However, as the kids grew, she gradually learned to do one thing at a time as their tastes and nutritional needs changed, and now she's pretty good at it. Do the same -- be patient, take your time, learn one thing at a time -- you don't need to learn it all overnight, nor could you.

And make you husband do his share -- if he won't cook inside, encourage him to learn to grill and BBQ. And show him how to load the dishwasher!

Which would, in some areas of Texas, mean that he'd get you drunk! :doh:

You do know they're usually served for breakfast. If I'm cooking you breakfast, that means I prob'ly spent the night...............which could be somewhat troublesome. :blush:

Care for a burger instead? :wink:
 
Re: Meet Butterflygazer...

Welcome to NCT. This is a great site. We really have a great bunch. :thumb: I love omelets too, but I make fritatas so I don't have to worry about folding them and I can get more fillings into it.

You start it on the stove, and finish it in the oven, no folding. Yummy
