I used to like my eggs very thoroughly cooked. My mom could do them just right so they were still soft, tender and fluffy. I still like them like that, but...

My wife has always preferred them soft. I was never a fan. In the past if you got something like a sunny side up, the white would often be hard and the yolk still practically cold. That turned me off. My wife slowly wore me down over the years, slightly soft, scrambled eggs were the first that got the nod of approval. I don't prefer soft to hard one over another, they are both good and different. Then I learned how to do a sunny side up so the yolk is more gooey than runny and warm, and that's pretty good if you've got something for the yolk to run onto or into. I'm also game for a semi-soft boiled and a semi-soft poached.

I still prefer my omelets cooked (but not tough).
