FUNCTION: Phineas Gage is working on a Vermont railroad when a 3-foot
7-inch iron tamping rod is driven through his head with explosive
force. The resulting injury, which Gage will survive for another 12
years, changes both his personality and doctors' opinions in the field
of neurology.

1/2 c Water
1/8 ts Ground turmeric
1/2 ts Salt
1/8 ts Pepper
1/2 c Onions; chopped

Those who like brains will find this omelet a fine method
of preparing it. The Persians prefer small lamb brains
from their most popular meat.
Rinse brain in cold water & remove veins & membrane. Put
1/2 cup of water, turmeric, salt, pepper, & 1 tb onions in
a pan w/brain. Cover & cook over low heat for 15 mins to
soften brain & reduce liquid to abt 2 tb. Cool brain &
chop in liquid.
Heat all but 1 ts oil in a skillet. Stir-fry remaining
onions over moderate heat until translucent. Cool slightly
and add to eggs. Stir in brain & liquid. Turn mixture into
skillet, cover, & fry over low heat for 5 mins to brown
the bottom. Turn omelet over, slip 1 teaspoon of reserved
oil into skillet, & return omelet to pan. Cover & fry for
three mins more.
Serve warm. Serves 4 to 6 w/other dishes.
VARIATION: One 10 oz package frozen chopped spinach may
be used when the fresh is not available. Thaw out
completely. press out liquid, and used as directed.
