Do-It-In-Your-Sleep Chorizo Omelette

Late Sunday night, Hubs suddenly had a case of the munchies. He'd skipped dinner earlier (his fault) because of all the snacks and finger food I'd plied on the coffee table during the afternoon (my fault). You see, we were having our customary lazy family Sunday. I was doing my needlework while the two men were having a go at the Tiger Woods Golf Wii thingy. This lasted all morning and stretched into the late afternoon. Being the concerned wife and mother who didn't want her men to keel over with hunger, I put plates of various cured sausages, little salmon bagel sandwiches, toasts and paté out at regular intervals.
Of course Hubs wouldn't want dinner. Sonny-boy did though. He has a bottomless pit for a tummy.
Anyway, I lifted my usual " the kitchen is closed after 8pm; you are on your own thereafter" rule. I poked around the refridgerator to see what I could dish up. After considering the options, I decided a big fat omelette was the way to go.
It's really easy, one can even do it in one's sleep.

Hubs' verdict: Eggs-cellent! Better than Mama! *
* Hubs was alluding to Cooking Mama, the Wii game I'm currently enamoured with. Bah!
