Afternoon Activity includes sampling at the El Roble Food Tasting Festival.
So the other day we spent a whopping $18 dollars (3 days worth) at Winco market. However, the trip will probably cost us $518 in all ($500 deductible for crunching rental car into pole). More reason to economize! With that, here are some step by step photos of a meal that cost around $3. James learned how to make these Spanish Omlettes (aka: Torilla de Patatas) while on international work camps in France. Here is our variation of the omlette a la hot dog. Still risky even with these cheap ingredients because one wrong move can create more of an inedible bomblette than an omlette.
Store bought bag-o-potatoes seasoned with rosemary, olive oil, and sea salt
roast them in the oven and figure out what to do with them later....

Ingredients from our BIG splurge the night before. Meat ( turkey franks ) Cheese, potatoes, eggs, some garlic and a whole lot of imagination...
Get started by cracking eggs....
Chop some hot dogs and brown them in a pan.
Mix meat (can use any meat for this) and potatoes in a skillet.
skillet should be non stick or use enough oil to prevent sticking.
Stir everything a few times and spread out ingredients
Get ready to do a little dance and make a little flip when it all looks like this...
Place a flat plate over omelet and turn upside down
Then slide back into pan to cook the bottom that was just the top...
Voila! with all the fixin's
