One photo every day: The quest for the ultimate flim-flam omelette. (17/365)

In the year 2013, my mother was taken away by cancer. Later that year I had a dream where she came back to me, and tried to teach me to cook a perfect "two pan flim flam omelette":

"So, my mom died of cancer 5th of June, and I just started dreaming about her two nights ago, about how they miraculously revived her in the hospital she died in, even after her cremation, and how serene she was after being brought back to life.
 
In the dream last night, my mother came to me, looking many years younger, and tried to teach me a two-pan omelette she called the “flim-flam omelette” with ill success. She was somewhat frustrated at me for not learning how to keep the omelette in one piece on the second pan and not having it liquified instead. The end result should’ve been fluffy to the point one would have to press it together to keep it firm.
 
After waking up, not being sure if there was such thing as a “two-pan-” or “flim-flam omelette” I did some searches on the web, and only learned that “flim-flam” means nonsense, humbug or a swindle, which kind of makes sense when you think of the omelettes failing so badly. Also, no indication there is an omelette that requires one to use two pans instead of one.
 
Does anyone here know if there exists such an omelette?
 
Somehow, I now feel like my mother isn’t gone after all, even if she only ever lives in my dreams from now on."

One-pan flam.

We made this with Miro! I'm definitely going to learn to make the two-pan flim-flam omelette one day and also teach it to my kids. This one was just one-pan, (We didn't quite follow the "instructions") and perhaps just a flam, as it broke when I tried to fold it by flipping. At least it didn't liquify. ;)
