Wire whisk to beat the eggs with a soup¨on of curry powder then a
'pancake turner' to move them about the pan while they are cooking.

Of course that's after i have sautˇed some mushrooms & green onions &
garlic in the butter i then proceed to cook the eggs in. At which point
im as likely as not to throw some cheese & diced cooked ham in and call
it an omelet
