Perfect Omelettes and a perfect country pub
The internet came up trumps again this weekend! What did we do without it? A trip to Crewe for a 50th wedding anniversary party was on the agenda on Saturday night, so I dug out The Good Pub Guide to find somewhere for a bit of lunch and a couple of drinks before the main event. Nothing much seemed to be around the area, so I logged onto my PC for a google search and sure enough "PUBS AROUND CREWE" brought up The Hand and Trumpet in Wrinehill.
Their website is excellent,

and the setting, interior, beer and food was equally impressive. I had a couple of pints of Triple A bitter, which has been specially brewed as part of the 18th birthday celebrations of the Midlands Air Ambulance by the Woods Brewery and a pheasant, pigeon, rabbit and ham terrine with some toasted bread and a pea shoot salad. The beer was good and the terrine was fantastic. If you're ever down that neck of the woods it's well worth a visit!
When I returned to work there had been a first comment on the blog! A chap(???) called Ray Parlour has been having problems making omelettes, well I dont profess to be the greatest cook in Huddersfield but I seem to be able to do alright when it comes to omelettes.
I reckon the trick is to keep them as light as possible by plenty of whisking. I also whisk the egg after it goes into the pan for 20-30 seconds. Another tip is to push the cooking mixture away from the sides of the pan and swirl it round so that the liquid egg can spread around and cook more evenly. Turn the heat off while the egg is still a little bit runny in the middle and fold the omelette in half, it should carry on cooking while it rests and hopefully be eggsellent!!

If you are making an omelette with a filling and using onions always cook them first and add at the end just before you fold. I don't beat my eggs too much and always cook in butter.
I love fish, I have it at least 3 times per week. I had fish pie yesterday, it consisted of salmon, cod and prawn with peas and carrots, topped with fluffy mash potatoes - delicious, yum, yum.
