Omelette with herbs

I made up this omelette years ago on a cold London winter morning and to my surprise turned out too good to be true that i make it as a special treat from time to time. The trick is to use room temperature eggs, season after the omelette has set and not to overpower it with loads of the fresh herbs. Serve with warm toasted bread. Made from love.

P.S. Feel free to add your own spark such as hot sauce, sauteed mushrooms, the list is endless.

Ingredients:

Eggs (room temperature)

Small handful of fresh chopped:

Chives

Tarragon

Parsley 

Small knob of butter

Sea salt

Freshly ground black pepper

Method:

Break the eggs into a bowl add the fresh herbs and beat with an egg lightly. Heat the butter in a frying pan over medium to high heat. Pour the egg mixture into the melted butter and from time to time fold the egg with a rubber spatula to give a fluffy consistency. Season well with sea salt and pepper. Serve with toast, or any bread you fancy.

Jimmy I am too lazy to do my job Choo

The following conversation took place this morning:


Me: Dialing the Jimmy Choo boutique in Avenues Prestige
Ring Ring
Jimmy Choo: Arabic speaking sales assistant-Good Morning Jimmy Choo
Me: Good morning, do you have the pathos wedge shoes?
Jimmy Choo: No
Me: Are you sure? My mother just tried them on 3 days ago
Jimmy Choo: Errrrrrrr, I will check
Me: Holding on
Jimmy Choo: Nope we only have X and Y shoe
Me: But we tried it on in your store, can you check again?
Jimmy Choo: Handing the phone to the filipino sales assistant
Jimmy Choo: Yes maaam, we have the shoe you are looking for
Me: Then why is your colleague too lazy to check and immediately says no when I asked her?
Jimmy Choo: Sorry maaaaaam, she thought you meant the other shoes
Me: No, I had to ask her twice, then delegated it to you, she is a very lousy sales assistant
Jimmy Choo: Sorry madam, we have the shoe, what size would you like?
Me: Sigh, do you have x size?


I don't understand how when everything is computerized, Jimmy Choo is a luxury brand then why be that lazy that you can't even do your job properly?

Has anyone had an issue with them before? Please share.

The pits

Its the time of the year I most dread, summer is looming and what does that bring folks? Wet, damp armpits.    Arghhhhhh. My mission is to find a new deodorant that will remotely help with these problem areas. Rausch was being shoved down my throat at Boots the other day by a pushing saleslady, I decided to buy it just to get rid of her and try it out something new. The results so far, even though we haven't reached 40 plus degrees? Very impressive, no odor and gentle on the skin. Priced at 7.500 KD. Highly recommended.

Shite List

1. Not having tried Elevation burger before.........it was amazing!

2. Grey's Anatomy season 9...........Shonda Rhimes, get on it and write proper lines!!

Spotted..........

As you may have guessed it, I am a supermarket junkie. I love browsing the isles, looking for spankin new goodies. I was in Lulu yesterday and spotted half and half, I haven't really used it, but whenever it was needed in a recipe I couldn't find it till now. Yooohoooo

Another great item I spotted recently was Irish oatmeal at Dean and Deluca. They are delish, having ordered them for years on Amazon, I can now buy them locally. Rejoice!

Holding on to love

A widow's wish to hear her late husband's voice has prompted London Underground to restore a 40 year old recording of the subway's famous "mind the gap" announcement.

Margeret McCollum can now hear her husband's Oswald Lawerence voice every time she takes the tube. How beautiful and sad is this story? Anything to hold on to someone you love. Bless

Sultan Center amping up

Browsing around Sultan Center this morning, I noticed they had stocked posh jam and marmalade from Harrods. Has anyone tried them out? Quite pricey if you ask me.
