Simply Cooking: Microwaved Cheese and Spring Onions Omelette

For someone who relies on lecture recordings as if it is the air I breathe, the news that a lecture is not captured or the recording system broke halfway would send me into a series of panic attacks. This made me reconsider the idea of attending lectures but I really did not want to because it is a waste of my tram money and travelling time. Also, I cannot really concentrate in lectures. The slightest sounds can kill my concentration. Even the sound of someone coughing or whispering. It feels as if I can hear everything!! And imagine in a lecture hall filled with hundreds of people! 0_0

I really want to just stay in and finish up my 3000 word American contemporary history essay. I am split between going and not going but the better of me decided that I should do a litmus test. I should go and then see if anything gets uploaded. Just in case.

And if you are wondering if not attending lectures and relying on recordings will affect my grades? The answer is, no. In fact, I felt that ever since I stayed in and study, it improved my grades by 5 to 10 points. I think it works differently across individuals. I am the type of person who studies a lot at home. Sounds like I have no-life but I don't bloody care about having a life or not as long as I achieve my dreams. Then, I'll think about having a life. Moreover, I can always have fun on my holidays. :)

Since I'll be going up and down university, my time spent cooking will face severe cuts but I have found a way to counter this issue: eating lunch for breakfast and breakfast for lunch. Usually, I have home made sandwiches for breakfast and do the actual cooking for lunch. Now, I will just need to do the actual cooking on breakfast and pack sandwiches to lunch. Hehe.

"Now, wouldn't that be too unrealistic? You'll wake up tired and all!" You may wonder.

Well, I have my ways. One of them is by utilising the greatest creation in history: The microwave oven. Most people underestimate the power of the microwave oven. I use it to rehe! at my fo od, to steam fish, chicken, poach eggs and recently, I've discovered on JustBento.com that you can make omelette using the microwave oven.

Can you tell that this is microwaved?

Thoughts about the recipe:

I find making this really entertaining and amusing because of the use of the microwave oven. After the end product, I was thinking: Hell! This is better than ! making t he Japanese thousand layer egg! Plus, one can use almost any ingredients with this omelette. Leftover mince, smoked salmon, ham etc.


I hope you guys enjoy this recipe as much as I do. :) Have a great day!
