Sustainably Cooking Omelets

This previous Sunday we went to Davis Cookware in Hillsboro Village and learned about various types and brands of cooking utensils, especially knives.  We learned proper knife care and safety and how to tell when your knives are dull.  They also told us about the fine teas and coffees that they sell and about their free knife sharpening service. 

Our group did our first cooking project this evening.  We had four of our members with us because Hayley could not be with us this evening.  Two of our members, Caitlin and Jose, went out to the farmers' market and Harris Teeter and bought eggs, spinach, cheese, several types of peppers, avocado, salsa, basil, and other ingredients to make omelets.  Lydia, who has cooked omelets before, taught proper omelet making technique to the members of the group.  Caitlin taught everybody the best ways to cut and peel garlic and onions.  We used such sustainable ingredients as eggs from pasture-fed chickens, organic spinach, locally grown tomatoes and peppers from the farmer's market, and locally made salsa.  Jose and Sarah, who had never cooked omelets before, did a great job their first time!  Everyone's omelets turned out very well and tasted delicious!
We are so excited to be getting into our project!
