the big cook hasn't happened all at once but i thought i should try to accumulate it for anyone trying to get organized for a week. i'll tell you what post the recipe's are in if not this one. i am currently on a roasting kick, you may notice, so i have found it easy to big cook in the mornings and get a few meals out of it.

tortilla espanola
-----------------------------------------------

eggs
potato
green pepper
yellow onion
olive oil

this is easy:
slice the potaotes up pretty small
chop up onion and pepper
sautee them all together in a fair amount of olive oil until the potatoes are fully cooked
meanwhile beat the eggs in a bowl
pour potato/onion/pepper into bowl and coat with egg
dump into frying pan and brown - flip and brown other side

notes: you want to use enough potato to basically fill your pan and smaller amounts of onion and pepper. the egg is just enough to stick things together. this is great as a meal with salad and/or meat sauce. it also turns into a nice lunch eaten cold on toasted bread as a sandwich (especially with mango chutney).
