Spanish Tortilla

This is one of the tastiest foods around. I commend its recipe to your care.

Spanish tortilla is a pie of with only five ingredients: potato and onions and egg and salt and olive oil. They are layered and fried together, then flipped so it has a gorgious brown crust. It's not an omlette, it's much tastier (and a bit bad for you, because of the oil- but oh, so good). It only takes 45 minutes to 1 hr. to make. I was gonna get home early and surprise d. with it last night, but he was there already and he had fried food for lunch, so I will have to make due with daydreaming about it today and cooking it some night this week.

Tortilla is my favourite thing to do with potatoes. And one almost always has the ingredients, too...

Sheep for wood on Friday evening or Sunday evening would be great! Saturday, I'm busy singing this poem.

daylight’s dauphin, dapple-dawn-drawn Falcon

How the hell can you sing that? I can barely read it properly, let alone say it aloud.

Not to mention the last line also.

What was Richard thinking?...

oh, you're right, it wasn't last night :) I remembered Rover chasing the garlic across the floor recently, but it was an older value of "recently".
