If you don't mind about messing,...

No problem since EVERYONE WILL BE CLEANING as well.

Let me know ASAP...

p.d. Ah yes, it is VERY important that everyone bring ALL of the ingredients necessary to make at LEAST the tortilla they plan to make.

I have a request, a teeny tiny little request. As the person who originally started this extremely important topic which is clearly vital to all of our well-beings and yet who unfortunately cannot be present for the tortilla fest, :cry: I would ask that any earthshattering insights that are revealed during this momentous event-anything like, say: the proper egg to potato ratio, or baking versus frying, or the inevitable question of whether to add the eggs to the onions or vice versa be shared with us all after the great tortilla to do! PLEASE?!?!?!?!

Hey schwendy, we can do better than that girl!!!

I can record the tortilla-making and make the video available to anyone who wants it via e-mail

FABulous!!!!!!

Hey Jer, check this out, I found this one earlier this year while watching TV in my room in Madrid. It might be of use.
click here -Gallina Blanca

hope its of use.

Cheers :cheers:

I will be there then!!! But I will claim my copyrights on the "Tortilla Espa�ola" videotape ;-)

So, I take all the ingredients with me? Can I count on you with the salt ;-)?

Maybe I'm wrong: I think the day is already set, but I couldn't find the time...

The salt thing is serious, really!!! I always forget the salt on my tortillas :-( With it, there is only one word for them: perfect!

Hey, so if by my name it says that I am not cooking, do I still get to eat? Because if I don�t get to eat, count me in on cooking!

I REALLY REALLY REALLY want a copy of that video. I need major tortilla help!

Yes Max, I will spring for the salt I had not yet posted the time, it will be at 9:00pm. Thanks for reminding me.

Sedusa, will probably be a ton of MEGs but I will let ya know about the video.

Caroline, I had not heard from you so was not sure if you wanted to make a tortilla or not.

If you don't make one, you can make Sangr�a. If you are a complete mess in the kithchen and can't make either (me ) you will have to bring...

1) a dozen eggs.
2) 1 Kilo of "patatas".
3) a few onions.

... so somoene else can make some more tortillas.

IF YOU ARE MAKING TORTILLA, PLEASE DO NOT FORGET TO BRING YOUR FRYING PAN(S)!!!

I will e-mail all coming so far...

� Lena.
� Juliette.
� Candela.
� Raquel.
� Desha.
� Caroline.
� Thyglow.
� Max.

... tomorrow with my address and last minute details.

Saludos,
jer...

I believe I will be in town this weekend to get the rest of my stuff. If that's the case I'll let you know and bring something to the tortillathon. I'll confirm wednesday or thursday, if you get too many people then go ahead and i will meet you folks later on that night or something.

ciao

Cheers!

As a kind of “anticipo” to the �big “tortilla” party� next Saturday, and for those of you not able to come, you may find now the recipe I follow when I cook “tortilla de patatas”, from one of Pen�lope Casas’ classics: “Tapas: the Little Dishes of Spain”:

�Ingredients: olive oil, potatoes, one onion, salt, four large eggs [Sorry, no clue about the amount of potatoes in the source where I got the recipe – I just know the proper amount from experience; you may check it in the already famous video.]

Approx. cooking time: 45 min.

Heat olive oil in an 8 or 9-inch skillet and add the potato slices one at a time so they don't stick together. Alternate layers of potato and onion slices and salt the layers lightly. Cook slowly over medium heat (the potatoes will really "boil" in the oil rather than fry), lifting and turning the potatoes occasionally, until they are tender but not brown. The potatoes should remain separated, not in a "cake". Drain the potatoes in a colander, reserving about 3 tablespoons of the oil (the onion and potato give the oil a wonderful flavor, so save the rest for some other use.) Wipe out the skillet, scraping off any stuck particles. (If this is difficult to do, wash the skillet. It will be used again to set the omelette and must be completely clean to avoid sticking.) Meanwhile, in a large bowl beat the eggs with a fork until they are slightly foamy. Salt to taste. Add the potatoes to the egg, pressing down with a pancake turner so that they are completely covered by the egg.
Let the mixture sit for 15 minutes. Heat two tablespoons of the reserved oil in the skillet until it reaches the smoking point. (It must be very hot or the eggs will stick.) Add the potato and egg mixture, spreading it out rapidly in the skillet with the aid of a pancake turner. Lower the heat to medium high and shake the pan often to prevent sticking. When the eggs begin to brown underneath, invert a plate of the same size over the skillet and flip the omelet onto the plate. Add about 1 tablespoon more oil to the pan, then slide the omelette back into the skillet to brown on the other side. Lower the heat to medium and flip the omelette two ot three more times (this helps to give the omelette a good shape while it continues to cook), cooking briefly on each side. It should be juicy within. Transfer to a platter and cool; it may be then cut in thin wedges or into 1 inch squares that can be picked up with toothpicks.�

One more for the torti party.

Asterault, I await your confirmation to add ya to the list.

As I will be recording the event for posterity, I will most likely not be cooking. A shame since I make THE best tortillas

Saludos,

p.d. If those on the above list plan to bring anyone, please let me know now.

"torti party" :jeje:

I haven't heard anything so gay-sounding (well, lesbian to be exact) in a looong time!
