Are you interested in making a French omelet? Below are some steps you may follow: First, whisk together the eggs until just mixed, then season. Lay out any fillings by the hob. Second, heat a pan over a medium-high flame and add the butter and “swirl” to coat. When the foam begins to die down, pour in the eggs. They should sizzle. Third, shake the pan to distribute the eggs evenly, then leave for 20 seconds until they begin to bubble. Add any filling such as onion, corn, mushrooms, etc. Next, use a fork to draw in the sides of the eggs to the center while shaking the pan to redistribute the liquid to the edges. The omelet is done when still slightly runny in the middle. Finally, take off the heat, and fold two edges into the middle. Shake the pan so they roll together, then tilt it and turn your omelet on to a warm plate (you can tidy it up before serving if you like). Season with salt and pepper, and then eat immediately! 

   What’s your favorite omelet recipe, and are you a stirrer or a shaker? And can these delicate French omelets ever compete with a whopping British half moon, oozing with cheese, and served with chips?

    Thanksgiving is celebrated in the United States as a national holiday dedicated to being with family and friends to give thanks for all of the blessings received throughout the previous year. The holiday is 41 to have been celebrated first in 1621 when the Plymouth settlers enjoyed a fall feast to celebrate a 42 harvest with the local Wampanoag Indians. 

    43 to the event that is believed to be the first Thanksgiving, harvest feasts were practiced in New England, though they did not catch on as a yearly event. According 44 most historians, the tradition of having these harvest feasts came over to America with the Puritan and Pilgrim settlers from England. 45 this first feast, the attendees dined on pumpkin, turkey, goose, corn and other items that are now common at Thanksgiving dinners.

 India is perhaps the most colorful country on earth. Every item, from the smallest hair decoration to the largest temple, is in bright colors. Even in the poorest areas of India, where people live in huts with no electricity, water, or modern comforts, the women still 41 to buy colorful “saris”---long, wide pieces of cloth that are wrapped around the body like a dress---in vivid yellow, orange and pink, and wear lots of brightly colored bracelets to 42 them. When people get married in India, the weddings are vivid enough to impress the guests. The bride often has colorful patterns on her hands and feet, and the whole room is 43 streamers, flowers, gold, and silver. Afterwards, many women wear colorful “bindis,” small stickers or circles on their foreheads to show that they are married. As for the streets, too, there are colors everywhere. The buses, trucks, and taxis are often painted in a rainbow of colors, and even the cows are sometimes painted with bright colors. Some colors in India are used for a special purpose: 44 , in the city of Jodhpur, all the homes of a certain group of people, known as “Brahmins,” are traditionally painted bright blue to let others see 45 their houses. It seems that wherever you go in India, there are dazzling displays of color looking back at you.
