You know what? You won't believe it! I went to the shuk and bought some potatoes, peppers, onions, garlic and wow, olive oil. And eggs. 36 of them!
I like red potatoes because in the old country they were better. Here in Israel, they are as tasteless, as spongy and as full of water as the white ones but at least they look more - well - promising I guess. Peppers can be as good and tasty here as anywhere and I like those big yellow ones.
Onions for cooking have to be golden, so I bought nice, juicy golden ones. Not too big, not too small, Judaism prefers middle way. And garlic, I like garlic. I admit, the olive oil I didn't plan for, but saw a two bottles bound together offer I couldn't refuse.
Then I went home and poured a little olive oil to a non-stick frying pan and lit the gas under it. While the oil was heating up I pealed the potatoes with one of those fool-proof potatoe peeling devices I admire and cut them to little cubes, like half an inch per half an inch per half an inch. When ready, tossed them into the oil with the knife and fried them until light brown, flicking the pen from time to time like professional chefs do. Next, I took a pepper and cut it up to cubes too, the same size, more or less and sliced an onion. I mixed everything with the slightly browned potatoes and fried the lot together a few minutes, until darker brown. I cleaned a clove of garlic and cut it up to tiny pieces. While the veg was frying in the pan I beat up three eggs in a mug, with a drop of milk, the garlic and a pinch of salt and ground black pepper. Then I poured the mixture on the fried veg
in the pan and moved it slowly until all the egg solidified.
So, as far as I am concerned, the big news on Winograd Report publication day is that I never had such a tasty omlette in my life! Why I think this seemingly insignificant episode is the news of that particular day? Because I don't believe in the Winograd Commission: Four man and one woman, not one of them with their had covered! They criticise Olmert for the one right thing he did do right: He went to war to stop our enemies provoking.
