See above. After hand holding a lady friend (who was abandonded by her
baby-daddy) through the delivery process and all of that I remain a bit
surprised that there are second (and more) babies. Made mt glad the the
old DNA dance left me as a guy.

I use (mostly) deli sliced ham no more than 1/8" thick. So, it's a fine
dice. Here are a couple recipes that illustrate taht.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

     Title: Dirty Dave's Omelette
Categories: Five, Eggs, Breads
     Yield: 1 Serving

     3 lg Eggs; beaten
   1/4 c  Aunt Pajama's pancake
          - batter (separate recipe)
   1/8 ts (ea) salt & fresh ground
          - pepper
     1 tb Butter

MMMMM--------------------------FILLINGS-------------------------------
          Cooked bacon
          Cooked, crumbled sausage
          Cheese
          Diced ham

 Whisk together the eggs, pancake batter, salt and pepper
 in a bowl. Melt the butter in a medium nonstick pan over
 low heat. Add the eggs and cook, stirring with a rubber
 spatula, until the eggs are mostly set, 3 to 4 minutes.

 Add any or all of the optional fillings if you like.

 Flip the omelet over itself and remove to a dish. Serve
 immediately.

 NOTE: Do not over-do the pancake batter or your result
 will be an eggy pancake. Still tasty but not what you
 were after. And never mind how I know that.
