New elbow

Thanks for all of your well wishes on Andy's surgery. He has some nerve damage (his ulner nerve) near his elbow. Hopefully the surgery will be successful and his nerves will feel good as new. It takes a few months to know if it worked or now. I'll have Andy post about it at some point.



In case you were wondering...leftover salad tastes amazingly delicious.



Especially when it's paired with a turkey, gouda, red pepper spread and seedy bread sandwich.



YUM. And yes, I totally use my Snoopy plates all the time instead of our nice dishes. I am weird.



But what I really want to share with you is my recreation of a favorite omelette. Andy and I frequent a restaurant out here called Eggs & Things. They have an omelette (omelet?) called the Eggs & Things and it's so good. It consists of 3 eggs, cheese, ortega chiles, bacon and sour cream.



I made some (they are a little ugly. I need to perfect my omelette flipping skills) by mixing 4 eggs with a little skim milk, pepper, chiles, bacon and cheese. Then I cooked the omelette, flipped it like a rookie and topped that bad boy with chiles and sour cream. I cut it in half because 4 egg omelettes are intense. We each had a half with some fruit and really enjoyed them. Eggs & Things still makes it better...



But our fruit bowl is better. It never sat underneath a heat lamp. We had some white nectarines and strawberries.



Andy contributed to this breakfast by making coffee. He is such a stud when it comes to coffee. I literally have never attempted to make coffee myself because his is so good. Our coffee maker isn't really that complicated...well maybe the espresso part?



And yes...Andy dumps tapatio on EVERYTHING.


Have you ever recreated a favorite meal from a restaurant? How did it turn out?
