Spring 2in1 ;)

 Today, when I came back to home after Church, was very quiet and chillout day;] my mom is already in work, so me and my dad must doing something on dinner. First thought was our fav pasta with mushroom sauce, but it already was on blog, so I thought bout something else. We had mushrooms, tomatoes, chinese cabage and corn, I only must go to shop to buy eggs, and I had idea in my had. So here it is, my recipe for "Spring 2in1: omlette and pizza"

***

Ingredients:

On omlette:

- 3 eggs

- 8-9 bigger mushrooms

- 1 tbsp flour

- 3 tbsp water

- salt

- pepper

- oil

Extras on "pizza":

- 1 can of corn

- 4 coctail tomatoes

- chinese cabage

- yellow cheese

How to make?

Omlette: Take medium frying pan, pour on her a few drops of oil. When it will be hot, throw on it mushrooms (before u must wash them and slice on smaller pieces). In meantime, take small but also deeper bowl, add 1tbsp of flour and 3 tbsp of water and stir (it will be not so hard then to mix all ingredients on omlette when u add eggs). Then add eggs to flour- water mix, little bit of salt and pepper, and stir again. If mushrooms are ready, then throw mixture on pan, set on small fire, and wait till omlette will be ready. Don't twist it on second site, even if on the top the egg isn't chop down, it doesn't matter, the rest of the ingredients will neutralize that effect. When you see that your omlette start look like omlette u can use yellow cheese, but only if you want, it's not necessary;) then sprinkle pieces of cabage, u can add little bit of corn and pre-sliced ​​pieces of tomato. And it's ready to eat;)

"Taste... aroma of Life!"

I think this name will show u exactly what I do here... cos Im not professional chef, but I just 

♥♥♥ COOKING♥♥♥

and this is true of what Im doing here :)

Changes:)

Long ago I was not here, and this is mainly because of the life in the UK, a lot is going on, not enough time for everything ... especially to cook :/

...and yet another passion besides music, also to educate ... therefore undertook a number of steps ... and I bought a few cookbooks, of course, in the intervening period ... For now, I saved a whole series, I started second, and more likely to watch cooking programs, most recently mainly in English, you know, "grinding" language and stuff;) but it helps ...

I also work on changing the name of the Fan Page and blog on something more original :) I hope that soon I drop on something.

Machined new photos of dishes to prepare it in recent times to introduce here a little update;)

I'm sorry that it takes so long,

I greet all the gourmet kitchen, and enjoy the night! x
