Romancing the Omelet

I like omelets, but I can't seem to make one without making a big mess when it's time to flip it. I haven't made one is a very long time for that reason. Besides, scrambled eggs are just as tasty with all of the omelet ingredients added.

Back to omelets, have you ever noticed how many people make omelets on TV and in the movies? It seems as though every guy dating a girl for the first (or second) time, takes her to his apartment for an omelet. He doesn't have anything else to eat, but miraculously has everything needed for the omelet like cheese, onions, peppers,etc. Of course the omelet turns out wonderful. Occasionally the guy is all thumbs and the girl takes over the making the omelette. Sometimes it's the other way, the girl can't cook but the guy is a real genius at making an omelet.

Sometimes it's the girl's apartment and she is cooking the omelet to perfection. One thing leads to another and the first thing you know, well, you know! It is definitely because of the omelet! (it seems that way.)

So what is it about romance that inspires omelets? Or is it the omelet that inspires romance? (This reminds me of 'which came first, the chicken or the egg?')

More than likely the omelet has nothing to do with the romance, but it makes a nice addition to the story!
