All we ate was omelettes in Home Ec class.
Went down at all times of day and made them.
Seems like we added a little water back then.

Well then.
Yes, Im always shooting for the perfect consistency. To the point now that the wife won't make mine if shes cooking them.
I never liked the way Mom made them and Dad liked his eggs over petrified. So I learned how to make omelette watching the Galloping gourmet.
Carryon.😁 Played with water or milk or other crazy stuff to get that texture or consistency you want Fats? I suspect you have x 10 but figured I'd get your thoughts. I love omelettes and have played with them a bit... Half n half and I kinda wing it depending on size of eggs. Im a big fan of carryover cooking and leave the omelette a little on the undercooked side take off heat and cover for a few minutes to firm up before removing from pan. Its a game though that my wife hates.

I like an omelette to be done. What I really don't like is if the eggs were not completely beaten and while the majority of the egg is done, there is a pocket of unmixed white that is still snot.

You could find hoop cheese at every butcher/deli and larger Mom n Pop stores when i was kid. Haven't had it in decades. Must be mostly regional now.

I guess hoop cheese is basically a very young cheddar. It is soft. mild and kind of rubbery. Like FC said it is generally found in smaller local stores. I generally like very sharp cheddars and other strong flavored cheeses but like hoop cheese too.

Hoop cheese is made from the milk of the vicious and highly maneuverable hoop snake. It is a rare delicacy in that the milk must be collected while the snake is rolling, a task difficult in itself, but made more difficult by the danger involved should the snake deviate from its path of pursuit of the targeted individual to attack the milker instead.
