The success in the Spanish tortilla saga!

First of all cooking does not come natural to me and believe It or not i can mess up even the most basic of instructions when it comes to cooking. Anyway, i recently saw this show on cooking the perfect Spanish Tortilla and i was hooked, i wanted to make it and tried my hand at doing so. The only problem was that although my heart was on making one it seems that my mind was intent on making another, complete burnt out rubbish. I can swear that as my heart pounded and the blood rushed to my temples as I sat watching the stove with anticipation of the most perfect Spanish Tortilla, the only thing that came wafting to my nose was the smell of the burnt out egg. That was one total and utter disaster.
But I persevered and i surprised myself yesterday with the most perfect Spanish tortilla which by the way is a kind of an egg pie with potatoes,onions,garlic and anything else for the filling. Anyway my Spanish experience yesterday taught me that failures are indeed stepping stones to success. So I march on, intent on conquering other cooking peaks, for today, I have decided to make a stir fry prawn and egg pepper. I shall post tomorrow on how that went,wish me luck!

Spanish tortilla in the making!

I have tried my hand at making the 'Spanish tortilla' and I have to say that it was an unmitigated disaster. First of all, the potatoes did not cook properly, that is there were lumps in the potatoes that were not cooked at all. To add insult to injury, the onions did not cook evenly either.
On top of all this, I had to add the egg and the melted butter along with the herbs. All I ended up getting in the end was one fiasco that is not worthwhile remembering about. But I am determined to get it right this time around, I have taken the recipe down from this online site and shall try my luck again by the day after tomorrow. I will update all of you as regards my efforts in the Spanish tortilla experience!
