POTATO OMELETTE

The recipe that I explain to you is that of the potato omelette with onion.  I love potato omelette! It's my favourite dish. It is the recipe of my mother. The recipe is easy and very , very tasty. Try it!

Ingredients: (per person)

3 potatoes
1 onion
2 eggs
olive oil
salt


First peel potatoes and onion. Cut them into small pieces.

Then put some oil in a pan. When it is hot, add the onion and the potatoes.
Put some salt in it and let it cook over low heat.
Next beat two eggs with some salt.

When onion and potato are soft add the beaten egg to the pan. Let it cook one minute on one side, then turn the omelette and let it cook one minute over the other side. Now the omelette is ready to eat!

Bansky

Bansky is an anonymous street artist, vandal,political activist and film director.
He paints on the street, walls  and bridges in the cities around the world.

In this painting there are two children who have painted a hole in a wall through which you can see a tropical beach .The children are behind a fence. Children are laughging. They are collecting the paintings and the brush. They are happy.
Bansky uses dark and shaded colors -black and grey- for children, the wall and fence, and bright and cheerful colors for the tropical landscape-green, blue, yellow.
I choose this image because i really like it. It's beautiful, lively, very meaningful. Children locked in a dark wall and a fence draw a paradisiac place to escape. 
This graffiti could be named "The beach on a wall".
