Day Six: Results - aka We knew it was bound to happen

*sigh* I'm not hungry.

But I did cook! And I tasted, at least. Because I like to keep my promises.

So, let's get to it.

Breakfast was the Herbed Oven Omelette. I used thyme and Thai magic basil from my very own pots on my very own window sill for the "herb" bit.

I'm going to digress a bit-- Chime in here folks. Is the "h" silent or not? "erb" or "herb"? I always thought Herb was a guy's name. Like Herb from WKRP. But I was recently chastised strongly for not pronouncing the H.

Anyhoots.

I whisked the egg with a little bit of water, salt, pepper, and the diced herbs.



However, something happened. I am going to show you the underside because it's prettier than what happened on the top.



I'm not hiding it from you, I just don't want to gross anyone out. It sort of... well... it just looks funny. It's like the egg separated or something, even though it was beaten up really well. The whole thing cooked through, But the top was kind of shiny in an unnatural way and the herbs all floated to the top. Weird. Didn't taste bad, but looked weird. Maybe too much water? I dunno. I'm not a measurer, generally, but perhaps when I make the eggs I should use the measuring spoons.

Dinner was salmon with onions and peppers. I just seasoned the fish with salt and pepper, nothing fancy.



It actually smells really good. The fish, as was the case with the last two times I cooked fish in the EBO, was moist and flaky all the way through, and tasted good. The frozen peppers and onions cooked through, but were a little bit mushy. I'm thinking maybe all vegetables should be cooked via the foil packet and introduced to the protein later. The only issue with that is... if you're trying to use the veggies as part of the flavouring process for the meat, well, you'd be SOL.



Both dishes cooked for 20 minutes.

It's possible I'm being hard on the food tonight because I really haven't felt like eating it all day. Or maybe I just didn't try very hard, for the same reason.

At any rate, it was all edible. I just don't feel like edibling. Eating, I mean.

I promise, I'll be much more enthusiastic tomorrow.

G'night kiddos.
