...
You have no idea how proud of myself I am. Well, a couple of you do. Anyway, all this wonderful cooking thus far learning from Libby as well as here with my sis and bro-in-law must've inspired me. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you today's lunch: a sauteed mushroom and egg, pan-cooked quesadilla. FYI: not historically any kind of cook. But the idea materialized all by itself in my head and it turned out great, I must say. So, I'll relish in this minor victory and onward toward bigger and better food-related triumphs. ;)
Play-by-play action captions in among the pics below.
Lunch ingredients - cheese, mushrooms, eggs, Johnny's (taking Scotland by storm!), and tortillas
Prepping the egg just before I hit it with a blast of my Johnny's spice weasel -- BAM!
Getting the mushrooms going with a little olive oil
Eggs beated and ready
Mushrooms are looking good...
...so it's time to get the egg in there
The jalapeno jack and chipotle cheddar wait for their time to shine
The egg and mushrooms all scrambled together

Then with the cheese on top get everything all melty inside and crispy outside
