Tamagoyaki (Japanese omelet) machine - GIF

[PJs]

The idea of cooking to me is putting love and feelings into the food while cooking. I like omelets with lots of goodies too Frank and yours sound great as long as they aren't Hot, but maybe some chorizo or a nice Linguica or Italian sausage. I love a good combo of cheese in mine as well and have used everything from Camembert to Gorgonzola, even smokey Guda once (not so good, imo)...even did a brie and green apple once with fresh Oregano, Thyme and some small bits of Italian sausage ...pretty good.

A lot of times for me it's about what's in the pantry/fridge and creating combos that maybe unheard of but tasty and different. It's also about techniques learned and applied that enhance the flavor and the nutritional benefits of the ingredients and combos, plus a variety of spices to pull it all together. The machine at the top gives none of that and Would be a PITA to clean where as the Chef making his creation applies his skills and imbues the flavors and styles of that culture. I could not eat anything that came off that machine where as his, I liked that he added just a bit of Sake to accent the soy sauce and spices...I'm In.

Speaking of In and pantry Combos. for the last few weeks I have been dreaming of my sons Cioppino for our Christmas get together. I don't know how he does it all but it is the best I've ever had anywhere and you can tell it rocks because of the dead silence except for (slurping and sopping) and eye roles of 15 or so when we sit down to enjoy our feast.

Happy Holiday feast to all here at HMT!
