So my wife and I saw Julie & Julia recently. I enjoyed the movie. One part in particular showing an old clip of Julia tryng to flip some sort of egg omelette or something, where she claims success is based on having the courage of one's convictions.
I agree. When I make omelettes, they are a single fold, fluffy American style and not the flatter, trifold French style. As was the one I made this morning. I shake the pan to get it loose, preparing to flip and that scene from the movie comes to mind.
I flubbed the flip big time.
When I don't think about it and just do it, it works perfectly. If I am thinking about it, or trying to show off, or demonstrating the technique to someone it never works. But with a clear mind and calm spirit it works every time!
