Omelet in a bag...

Yesterday was Sunday. I tried but couldn't find an internet connection anywhere in town... big cities!!!

John & I have obviously been out of the camping world for too long. Our team had a "make your own" baggie omelet brunch yesterday. In case you are as dense on the subject as we were, this is how it goes...

Break 2-3 eggs into a heavy duty zip lock bag (write your name on the outside with a magic marker first).
Hang onto the top of the bag and squish the eggs around until they're well mixed. Next add your favorite omelet ingredients. (If you've planned ahead like Angie did, you assign folks to bring small bags of things like crumbled sausage, broccoli, chopped onions, shredded cheese etc.) Zip the bags closed being careful to press out all the air. (Angie says the bags explode if you don't do this step - we didn't do a test to check this out...) Put the bags into boiling water with the zip-part hanging over the edge of the pot. Boil for 10 minutes or until done. You can pull the bags out and press on the "omelet". If raw egg pressed out of the middle put the bag back in the water for another couple of minutes. When done, pull the bag out, open, and plop the omelet on a paper plate. No fuss, no muss (unless you're like me and happen to but the bag as I was adding ingredients to, too close to the table edge and spilled it on the ground - I DID miss my foot!!!) It was a fun thing to do... and the omelets weren't half bad either.
