Eggs.

I don't think I have woken up at 6:50am during summer vacation ever. Sadly, I know i'll have to do it twice this week. But today, I road tripped up to Seattle to attempt an Omelette Challenge. Located on the western side of Seattle, Beth's Cafe is home to the dozen (yes...twelve) egg omelette. I have eaten an four egg omelette at home, which was quite easy, but I greatly underestimated the impact that eight additional eggs would have on my stomach. My journey to tackle this behemoth began bright and early on this sunny August morning.

I knew that Seattle traffic would be very annoying (and by annoying, I mean it would be present and not willing to cease to anyone). I woke up 6:50am...so early haha. I wanted to try, try being the key word, and beat the traffic into the city. I also had other plans in the afternoon, which consisted of meeting up with my mom and sister back at home, after my breakfast was over, (we went to a local casino for some BINGO which started at noon). After I got myself up, I quickly showered, made sure I had my directions, and headed out the door to meet up with Amanda.

I decided that our meeting place was to be Amanda's house because her and Travis live very close, (just a street behind one another). Since I was going to be driving, I thought I would make it easier on them. I arrived at Amanda's house at 7:25am, with our schedule departing time decided on 7:30am. Now Travis was being a little baby because I had changed the meeting time, and the time that we would meet up at Beth's. I don't really know what his problem is. I told him that if he didn't want to wake up early, then don't come. He didn't show so me and Amanda left her house right at 7:30am.

Traffic was pretty bad, which was to be expected, but I didn't mind. Amanda, on the other hand, doesn't like traffic. Maybe this is why I am the driver in this relationship. Anyways, it took us an hour and forty minutes to get to the cafe, which I feel is reasonable considering it was rush hour. We had to wait fifteen minutes for Ariel to show up, (she drove up with her parents because she was gonna visit her brother afterwards). We spent ten minutes looking over the menu and briefly catching up with one another before our food arrived.

My omelette was the first thing that came and let me tell you... we all were shocked at the size of it. I had seen it on television and it looked HUGE there, in person, it was twice as big haha. I ordered my omelette with cheddar cheese and sausage. Typically in omelette's they cut up links of sausage and place those in there. No. They literally took a bratwurst, sliced it up, and put it in my omelette. I wasn't expecting it, but damn did it taste good! I didn't end up finishing my omelette, but it was so much fun, I wouldn't trade it for the world.

The Menu. Looks pretty original right??


The Omelette itself. It looked a lot bigger than on television. Underneath all those eggs, lay a bed of hashbrowns. Massive, yet delicious.


After our breakfast, we took a short walk by a local lake which was right across the street from the restaurant. This is Ariel (right) and Amanda (left) enjoying their saunter down the street.


Amanda and I down by the lake. The lighting decided to suck at that moment cause when I took pictures of Amanda and Ariel, they came out fine. Oh well, I still think we look good ;)
