As a new wife I have embarked on the adventure of cooking,
an am finding my inspiration from cook books...
The best I've come across is this.
The Australian
Women's Weekly
Cooking in

Minutes
An impulse buy from before I even had any thoughts I was getting married...thinking I could start using it to cook me some simple and yummy meals after work...thus it sat collecting dust until I picked it up to find a meal to cook my darling husband one night.
I decided to make omelets.... pretty simple stuff. Eggs, cheese and ham, that part I had down, it wasn't until I was past the point of no turning back that I came across this sentence...
'Gently fold whites into yolk mixture'
I'm sorry what? Fold liquid ?.... what are you some sort of water bender ? cause I sure as heck as ain't. Now for the food savvy people who actually understand that, I'm sure you're practically wetting yourself laughing at my lack of 'folding liquid' knowledge...but I kid you not, I was having an argument with the cook book in the kitchen "what do you even mean", "fold into yolk' ", "do i look like a water bender"....I'm sure onlookers would of been amused.
I eventually just went YOLO and poured the egg whites in and did my best at 'folding' said egg whites hoping for the best.
on a side note....
Dear Recipe Writers,
...What?
If I'm seeking advice from a cook book... I'm obviously not the worlds best cook... so please for all us 'non-food technical liquid folding experts' make recipes less complicated.

And on a plus side Kieran said they were delicious :D
So I must be better at this 'folding liquid then I thought I was.
Peace and Love
