What not to do before an exam...

So, I was hungry around 4 in the afternoon (can you call it that? felt like 9pm) today and walked in the kitchen to discover no chips (whoa!).

Yay! Can life get any better?

Anyways. This means that I have to do some cooking. So I picked out 2 eggs from the fridge (Yeah there were eggs at least). Here goes..

Step 1. Beat the eggs.

Step 2. Look around for salt.

Step 3. Almost put sugar (which my roomie will recount from her past experience, does taste good in dal and has nothing to do with her labelling our jars "sugar" and "salt").

Step 4a. Continue search for salt.
Step 4b. Find salt.
Step 4c. Put salt.

Step 5. Oooh. There's garlic. Chop some and throw it in.

Step 6a. Hmm..jeera does taste good in an omlette too.
Step 6b. (10 minutes later) Finally get the jeera out from a corner in a shelf, after encountering 3 empty jars.
Step 6c. Make a mental note of refilling the empty jars the next time you come across them.
Step 6d. Anyways, put the jeera.

Step 7. Open refrigerator for chilly powder. What!!? No chilli powder? (There's taco masala though)

Step 8. After correcting oneself that its taco seasoning and not masala, proceed to sprinkle over mixture.

Step 9. Beat the mixture once more. (Editor's note: You can do this frantically, just to add dramatic effect)

Step 10. Heat the oil on the frying pan

Step 11. Pour mixture onto frying pan. And only then remind oneself that you should always wait until the oil is hot enough.

Step 12. Look around and do nothing while omlette cooks itself.

Step 13. Spot a can containing sweet corn by the window.

Step 14. Wait till mixture is viscous. Sprinkle sweet corn (yes... sweet corn) and flip the omlette.

Step 15. Wait 2 more minutes.

Step 16. Burn the omlette. What else do you expect idiot!

Take it off the pan after Step 15. D-uh!
<Roll eyes into back of head expressing frustness>

You can eat the omlette with bread and ketchup.

P.S. I have not mentioned the measures of all the ingredients... I mean.. a cook doesn't give away all the secrets, you know...

P.P.S. And finally as my good friend has taught me, say "jalsa!". Its HS.
