    onions over moderate heat until translucent. Cool slightly
    and add to eggs. Stir in brain & liquid. Turn mixture into
    skillet, cover, & fry over low heat for 5 mins to brown
    the bottom. Turn omelet over, slip 1 teaspoon of reserved
    oil into skillet, & return omelet to pan. Cover & fry for
    three mins more.
