i happen to have zero skills when it comes to cooking eggs. they always taste just fine, but they never turn out the way i want them to. exhibit a: these were supposed to be two egg whites. not, two egg whites with a splash of yolk (which you can clearly see) thrown in for kicks.
i knew i wasn't going to get something closely resembling an omelette, so i tried for scrambled egg whites. and this is what they looked like AKA not scrambled.
but at least the hard part is now over. i now give you the easiest lunch ever, starting with healthy whole wheat high fiber tortilla.
next, smear of remains of an avocado.
plus shredded cheese.
and the egg whites
finished off with a touch of salsa.
none of this looks remotely appetizing as is, which is where the whole 'wrap' thing comes in.
some of you may be asking yourselves, 'why is she showing us a step-by-step tutorial of something easy and obvious?' the answer, my friends, is that its important that i show you a more balanced, unbiased look at the things i cook. its not all fancy cookies and homemade pasta - sometimes its unattractive egg whites.
and, while we're at it, i'd like to share with you all that, once, in high school, i took a public speaking class. and we were assigned a 'how to' speech. and i chose, 'how to make a bowl of cereal.' seriously. i made diagrams of how to correctly hold one's spoon and everything. i think i thought i was amusing.
and, interestingly enough, i've taught public speaking the last four years to undergraduate students. real circle of life stuff. i think i'm getting emotional.
