The Six Hour Omelette

Please bear with me, due to DSL not being available in the very rural area where I live, photos will not be ordered nicely and may look like a 5yo started blogging due to the app I have to use not being proficient enough to withstand my awesomeness. Once upon the other day, I had a thawed packaged of sausage that needed to be cooked. The sad little pork sausage was all alone in the fridge and had never been to the crock before. I decided to take pity on the pork and have a party! ....in my crock pot (rhymes with "that's what SHE said...") We grow our own Yellow Finn potatoes which are VERY thin-skinned... (They take everything personally, speak in funny accents, insult you and then run away. Divas, really.) ...and so do very well in a crock setting. I also have 7 wonderful chickens (Bunny, Freckles, Happy, Mescal, Honey, Hazel, and the blond, Marilyn) who have no idea that most of their brethren (sisteren?) stop laying during the winter. Or, maybe they do know and they're rebels. Or, maybe they don't care because they're just so darn happy! They ALL lay an egg every single day. So on this particular day here I am with 30 eggs, a package of sausage, plenty of potatoes.... and I'm thinking PARTY! An omelette is just a culinary party, isn't it?  I think so! Here's what you'll need:      1 pkg Pork Sausage, crumbled & cooked      10 Sm-Med Potatoes      20 Eggs (2 per potato used) 4oz Cheddar Cheese,           Optional: small can of sliced mushrooms, I used unsalted      Grease your crock Crack in all of your eggs Mix in the sausage Toss in the potatoes Throw in some cheese Do the Crocky Pocky and mix it all around THAT'S WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT!! Shred ya some fromage (that's french for "cheese". I feel fancy today. Plus, I haven't shaved in about 3 days and its probably time to wax my mustache.) Cook on LOW for about 6 hours (you'll see when the eggs are done) Mmmmmmmmm yummmmmyyy! Feel free to toss in any other ingredients you'd normally use in an omelette EXCEPT FOR DAIRY PRODUCTS because it will spoil being cooked on low for such a long period of time.
