bacon, tomato and basil omeletteWe had leftover spaghetti a la carbonara from last night’s dinner and I was planning on reheating some for today’s school lunch. But my 13-year-old daughter does not think lunch is lunch unless it is rice and a meat, fish or vegetable dish. She is so Pinoy in that sense… unsatisfied without her daily dose of rice. The reheated spaghetti a la carbonara became breakfast and, with the little time left before the school bus arrived, I cooked an omelette with bacon, fresh tomatoes and basil.

Flavorful, highly aromatic and so simple to make. The omelette was ready in minutes. I only made one–just one packed lunch since it’s final exams week for my 12-year-old daughter (she’s graduating from grade school) and she will be home by lunch time.

    Ces, cilantrro is great too with just about anything. :)

    Kats, Oakwood in Makati? What’s the name of the resto?

    Relly, my kids love fresh herbs. :) It all started when we planted some parsley in the backyard. They loved picking and sprinkling the parsley on food. Now we have basil, cilantro, dill, mint… :)

    Thank you, Manuel.

    You’re welcome, Cat. And have fun with the cooking. :)

    as the joke goes… “talo kayo sa lolo ko!!”

    basil flavored popcorn from chef tony

    mildy sweet and buttery then the basil flavor kicks in

    SARRAAPPPP!!!

  11. Connie on March 9th, 2006 4:07 pm

    Wow! But who’s Chef Tony?

  12. Jayred on March 9th, 2006 4:23 pm

    Now, this is something I can cook. :-) Simplicity is bliss.

  13. Connie on March 9th, 2006 8:05 pm

    I agree, Jayred. Sometimes, the simplest things are the most satisfying. :grin:

  14. richard on March 10th, 2006 11:24 am

    chef tony i personally don’t know

    he offers caramel and pesto popcorn

    NOTE: this is freshly cooked and delivered to outlets one of which is located sa metrowalk parking area near pancake house

    gourmet popcorn may be a reaction to growing popularity of “kettle corn” who started the freshly popped packaging

    a real fresh and yummy alternative to caramel / butter / loaded ones on supermarket aisles

    believe it or not i even so one brand which offers cinamon frosting of cinnabon on top our your popcorn

    teka….basil on omelette ‘to na article

    na punta nasa popcorn :oops:

  15. Connie on March 10th, 2006 1:30 pm

    Metrowalk… Cubao, right? Interesting. I’ll check it out pag nagawi kami dun. Thanks. :)

  16. raquel on March 10th, 2006 3:01 pm

    hmm… sounds y-u-m-m-y!
    i’l try it this weekend.
    btw, i think the resto in makati near oakwood specializing in eggs is.. heaven ‘n eggs near breadtalk entrance in glorietta.

    wish me luck…

  17. Connie on March 10th, 2006 6:09 pm

    you’ll do fine, racquel. :) and thanks for the info.

  18. richard on March 12th, 2006 3:09 pm
