Woodstove Omelette

kevin_standleeWe had a few flakes of snow yesterday, but nothing that stuck. It's still cold, though, and I've been keeping the wood stove ticking over. That meant that this morning I was able to cook my first stove-top omelette of the season.
That's a ham, mushroom, and cheddar cheese omelette cooked on top of the wood stove, along with hot links and hash brown patties broiled/cooked in the toaster oven. The stove wasn't as warm as I would have liked when I got up, and it took a long time to cook everything. I also missed that the toaster oven was set to warm (instead of bake) and thus it was about 45 minutes before I realized that the patties were still half-raw. I got it done eventually, though.
Although woodstove cooking tends to take longer, it also has the advantage that I don't risk popping a circuit breaker, as I have found that if I try to run the microwave oven, toaster oven, and hot water kettle (for coffee) simultaneously I have a high probability of tripping the kitchen appliance breaker.
After breakfast, I went into Sparks to get the oil changed on the Astro, and stopped by CVS/pharmacy to get a new anti-teeth-grinding mouthpiece. For some reason, the Walgreen's in Fernley no longer carries them. I don't mean that they are out of stock, but that there is no longer a space on the shelf for them.
