Beautiful meals

Supper the last two nights looked like it came straight from one of those glossy cooking magazines.  Of course, I didn't photograph either dish.

Monday was tortilla -- or tortilla de patata, if you prefer.  Basically, an omelet with a lot of potatoes and onions.  Unfortunately, it didn't taste very good:  Way too much potato, even though I used exactly what the recipe called for.  If I ever do it again, which I doubt, I'll use only half as much potato and I'll use a third more egg.  (I thought the Caesar Salad that night also fell short, but, happily, Mary Ellen and Katka said it was excellent.)

Tuesday night was Cobb Salad -- chicken, bacon, tomatoes, hard boiled egg, blue cheese, etc.  It was as good as the tortilla was bad.  It was also a lot of work.  If I ever do it again, I'll cook the chicken and the bacon ahead of time, and probably do some of the chopping ahead of time too.

PS:  The cobb salad link above is the recipe I used, but I changed some of the proportion:  whole avacado, 12+ ounces of chicken, 10 or 12 strips of bacon instead of the ham, 1 head of Romaine, 3- tomatoes, 0 watercress.  I also doubled the amount of dressing.
