Cacio e pepe with Favas and peas (video!)

[MiddleFingerMom]

3. Thursday, Occupational Therapy had me cook something in their little kitchen...

.
.
.
... as part of their checklist of "Is he ready to go home and take care of himself?"
.
I asked for the simple ingredients of an omelet (without being more specific
than that).
.
They sent up 3 eggs (I usually use 2), four fair-sized slices of tavern ham and
four slices of American cheese.. When I told the therapist that it was WAY too
much, she told me to "Go for it" as we couldn't return any of it.
.
Butter, glorious butter and a relatively new, unscratched non-stick pan (Hallelujah!!!)
.
I'm a pretty fair-dinkum cook, but that omelet surprised me... it came out perfectly
browned... flipped over perfectly... and was one OVER-STUFFED HAM-AND-CHEESE
FUCKING OMELET!!!
.
Not for me on my low-sodium diet, but I offered it to the therapists -- and I think
they waited JUST long enough for me to round the corner before SWOOPING down
on it... growling and snarling to indicate THEIR fair share of the "booty".
.
.
I had even impressed myself.
