Pineapple Omelet: Have You Tried It?

Pineapple omelet--pineapple slices dipped in beaten eggs and fried in oil. Well, this is not exactly what I mean--although it's something close. When I think of something weird, I say it's my pineapple omelet. Like my milk and turnip (singkamas) shake. Ever tried that?

Or, how I enjoyed dipping my hotdogs in vinegar as a kid. And I think I  was among the pioneers who ate hotdogs with rice in the 60s. I've been experimenting on foods and things and ideas to come up with lots of my pineapple omelets. It's my nature to try and learn new things or try what most people say is dangerous or prohibited. It's not because I want to be foolish; I wanna know the truth. I don't want to just take people's word for it. Most people do not think about what they do or believe in and never end up with their pineapple omelet.

Pineapple omelet enables you to see the truth for yourself. I grew up in a church culture that says not going to church on Sundays makes God so angry at you. After several pineapple omelets I found out the truth: it's not our church attendance God is finical about; it's our life. God says, "present your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and acceptable to God. This is your spiritual worship." So it's all about life--whether you're living the Jesus LIFE.

They've been saying if you have no college diploma or degree or credentials, you'd never make it to higher positions--or even get a job. Well, if you have a degree, good for you. If not, it's not the end of the world. In fact, what I found after much pineapple omelet munching is that you can not only end up with a good job; you can even be promoted to being boss or manager. It happened to me many times.

Pineapple omelet--you should try it some time.

Or try telling this short story to your Asian guests: "Rice is good but I know a guy who ate rice and died." Then your guests would ask, "Really? You can die eating rice?" Then tell them, "Well, it's like this. The guy ate too much rice when he was invited over for dinner by a friend. And then while walking home, he was hit by a car and died on the spot."

Last Resort

Here's another surefire tip: If your Asian guests still look for rice even if you have followed the above tips, do this: Tell them you often burn rice when you cook it. That way, they'd do either of two things:

1. Forget about dinner and go home.
2. Offer to cook the rice themselves.

Either way, you are prevented from burning your rice. There's your best tip on how not to burn your rice.
