I'm quite sure from a visit to a Barcelona tapas bar a couple of years ago that their word for an omelette - with potatoes and, maybe, onions - is tortilla. Mostly, I have oats in the cupboard which I add to my pottages, as in this poem but, for a change, I buy rice, fusilli or, on my last 3-weekly visit to the local supermarket, couscous: The packet recommends 4 parts couscous to 5 parts water but I added half a cup of couscous and a full cup of instant veggie soup to the onions I had already sweated in the pan; then simply garlic powder, salt, pepper, a splash of soy sauce, and tofu for a bit of protein. It's, also, worth saying twice, one feels, yum-yum!
