I casually tested my patience by letting the omelet sit in the pan to brown up. A medium high heat is good but watch it you don’t want the egg to cook too much before the mushrooms. If you don’t have or care for Fish Sauce you can substitute more Soy Sauce but the Fish Sauce brings a flavor that is totally worth it!I heated a lot of oil in my skillet-a wok would also work if you have one- and poured in the eggs. So, I gathered all the ingredients, whisked the eggs, and added the mushrooms, fish sauce and soy sauce. Thai omelet’s are cooked in lots of oil so they get puffed up, crispy on the outside and soft in the center. Finally, what makes an authentic Thai omelet is the actual cooking process.
They also use several subtle tastes like soy sauce and fish sauce during cooking that really make this dish delicious. They are actually open faced and have everything cooked inside/on top of them. I was also surprised to learn that the omelets in Thailand are not the rolled up bundles of goodness like they are here in the states. However, I also found out that several different types of regular mushrooms, like Shiitake, and Straw were popular as well. In my research I found that magic mushroom edibles (and milkshakes!) are very popular tourist fare in Thailand. Since that wasn’t going to happen I thought I would substitute some mushrooms that are frequently used in Thailand when they are not using the magic variety. In order to make a proper magic mushroom omelet I would have had to get my hands on hallucenigic mushrooms. We have to believe that Bridget is out of her mind in order to sit through watching her canoodling with Cleaver. Having Bridget eat a magic mushroom omelet is the only way the viewer would accept what is happening.
One could argue that the omelet is what causes Bridget’s lack of judgement to follow.
It was nice to see her impulsiveness and lack of judgment stayed consistent, especially during her trip to Thailand which is where my inspiration for the Magic Mushroom Omelet comes from.īridget eats a “Magic Mushroom Omelet” which causes her to hallucinate, make sand angels, and admire all the “colors”. I enjoyed this film in a different way than the first one because it is not just Bridget’s antics that carry the story I really appreciate that this film gives a deeper glimpse into Bridget’s relationships and how loved she is versus her seeking out love from others. The viewer gets to see Bridget’s quirkiness in action during a relationship versus when she is trying to navigate the dating arena. They travel to Thailand together with Bridget’s friend Shazzer in tow and all sorts of shenanigans ensue. In a snit she decides to work on a project with her ex Daniel Cleaver. When it doesn’t come and Mark confesses that he hasn’t been thinking of marriage Bridget begins to suspect that he is cheating on her with a business colleague. In this installment of the adventures of Bridget Jones, Bridget finds herself happy and in love with Mark Darcy and fully expecting a proposal. Also, that Zellweger, despite her uneven career, has never been so good as when she’s embodying Bridget Jones.I have posted previously about Bridget Jones and her diary, this time around I decided to take on the next installment in the franchise, Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason.
#BRIDGET JONES EDGE OF REASON WATCH SERIES#
If nothing else, the trailer will remind you of the stellar supporting cast the film series has always boasted, including Jim Broadbent (“Moulin Rouge”) as Bridget’s father, Emma Thompson (“Sense and Sensibility”) as Bridget’s doctor and James Callis (“Battlestar Galactica”) as Bridget’s friend. The crux of the new plot is that silly Jones has no idea which of the two men in her life are her respective baby’s daddy and hilarious hijinx will inevitably ensue as she attempts to discover the truth about what’s in her uterus (and what’s in her heart.)
And now Bridget has a new suitor, billionaire Jack Qwantz played by a very, very tan, former “Grey’s Anatomy” heartthrob, Patrick Dempsey. Cleaver is evidently gone for good as Grant is nowhere to be seen in the film. Darcy and Jones are apparently on the outs again, though not so much that they’ve stopped sleeping together. When last we saw Jones (Renée Zellweger), she had finally kicked on-again, off-again beau Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant) to the curb and, after a strange and wholly unnecessary side plot involving cocaine smuggling, had become engaged to off-again, on-again beau Mark Darcy (Colin Firth).Īccording to the trailer, it’s unclear what’s taken place since then.
