SPANISH OMELETTE

• INGREDIENTS
• 4 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
• 6 eggs
• 1 onion, chopped
• ¼ litre olive oil
• salt

• PREPARATION
• First, heat the oil in a large frying pan and
  then gently fry the sliced potatoes until almost
  soft, stirring from time to time so that they
  don't burn on the bottom of the pan. Add the
  onion and continue frying until all the pieces
  are soft. Drain the vegetables in a colander to
  get rid of the excess oil.
• Beat the eggs in a bowl and season with salt and
  pepper. Add the potatoes, etc. and mix well and
  check seasoning.
• Heat a little oil in a frying pan on a moderate
  heat. Pour in the potatoes and eggs and shake the
  frying pan from time to time so that the omelette
  doesn't stick to the bottom. Once the bottom of
  the omelette has set, turn the heat down low and
  cover the pan. After about ten minutes, turn the
  omelette by placing either a flat plate or
  saucepan lid on the frying pan and quickly
  turning over. Gently slide the omelette back into
  the frying pan and continue frying, once again
  shaking the pan from time to time so that it
  doesn't stick to the bottom, until it has set all
  the way through.
• Remove the tortilla from the pan and serve with
  crusty bread.

Big Ben

• Big Ben is one of London's best-known landmarks,
  and looks most spectacular at night when the
  clock faces are illuminated. You even know when
  parliament is in session, because a light shines
  above the clock face.
• The four dials of the clock are 23 feet square,
  the minute hand is 14 feet long and the figures
  are 2 feet high. Minutely regulated with a stack
  of coins placed on the huge pendulum, Big Ben is
  an excellent timekeeper, which has rarely
  stopped.
• The name Big Ben actually refers not to the
  clock-tower itself, but to the thirteen ton bell
  hung within. The bell was named after the first
  commissioner of works, Sir Benjamin Hall.
• This bell came originally from the old Palace of
  Westminster, it was given to the Dean of St.
  Paul's by William III. Before returning to
  Westminster to hang in its present home, it was
  refashioned in Whitechapel in 1858
