Farmyard Rooster

This rooster is from my imagination. Scribbled out awkwardly with a computer mouse.

I like his red comb. Perhaps his name is Chanticleer?

Poultry reminds me how I make a very quick omelet in the microwave:

RECIPE

Toss half a cup of frozen sweet corn in a pyrex bowl. Microwave it under cling wrap for 3 minutes on ''high''. Peel off the wrap and stir in a few teaspoons of capers. Add a teaspoon of garlic granules. Add a teaspoon of dried parsley flakes. Add crushed black pepper to taste. Rip in 2 sheets of nori seaweed paper. Stir well.

Take 2 large eggs and crack 'em into a mug. Stir well with a fork. Add a dash of milk. Stir well. Pour egg mixture into veg bowl, and stir well, moistening nori paper with the milk/egg mixture as you go.

Microwave (unwrapped) bowl of omelet mixture in 3 to 4 one-minute bursts on ''high''--depending on your microwave. Stirring the mixture before each blast of heat. Don't overcook, or you'll have a rubber frisbee instead!!

Serve omelet/scrambled eggs on buttered toast. Celery salt is nice for seasoning.

Eating seaweed regularly is a good idea for vegetarians, as it promotes strong fingernails.

Bon appétit !
