Every time I'm back east it's one of the first things I get.

Find me a deli and savor in the glory.

But I need the Kaiser to have poppy seeds and no ketchup or anything else, just Salt and Pepper.

So good.

I will be very happy to send some down on a regular basis and will bring them when I come down for the transmission!

They are wonderful. So wonderful indeed.

Is there a bad way to have an egg?

soft scrambled
hard scrambled
fried (sunny or over)
poached
etc....

It's not easy to fark up an egg.

But it is possible.

^^^ I'll bet an air fryer would do a good egg!

Thousands of restaurants across the country **** up an egg every time they cook it. Order an egg in a breakfast diner and the odds of getting it properly cooked are about 1%. I won’t order an omelette in a restaurant, unless the waiter agrees to go back and teach the cook how to cook it properly. Thin, over-cooked, filled with pre-cooked crap, it’s almost guaranteed. America can’t cook eggs.

Have a decent French chef cook you a good omelette sometime, or scrambled eggs, for that matter. Done right, they’re great. Done like they normally are, the dog gets to eat it.

My first choice would be a French style omelette with a crab sauce, but then, I’d probably have to cook it for myself.

This morning's fare involved poached eggs:

Huevos rancheros, no beans, green or red salsa, tortillas or homemade sourdough.

When my daughter had surgery they cooked an omelet at the commissary for us. It had a very custardy texture to it and was pretty good. i like scrambled eggs with a custardy texture as well. Most people overcook scrambled.

The free breakfast at hotels on the other hand are an egg like substance in the pan. They are the "American Cheese" to a proper WI cheese.

The texture of an egg changes dramatically when it gets to be overcooked, and it gets overcooked in a big hurry. I find it funny, I picked this picture of a sad, pathetic attempt at omelette cookery from a site that was trying to teach people how to cook a proper French omelette. This pathetic thing is a poster child for everything you can do wrong when cooking one, yet this is the finished product they suggested you should shoot for.

Well like when we spoke last week, no rush on the Tranny since I'm not moving anytime soon.

But fair warning, if I get bored I may bust out the welding gear and turn it into dinosaur yard art.

I was introduced to them in college, about 40 years ago.



One of the best places in Texas is Torchy's Tacos. They really make omelets that they slip into a tortilla. The names of the various types are hillarious.

wrap it up and fry it

I like my eggs like I like my women.

That is all

Absolutely.

I could go on and on (firm on the outside, moist on the inside) but the number one egg memory for me is Eggs in a Basket:



Amazing.

I just want to know who was the first guy who saw a chicken lay and egg and said, "Hey! Something came out of that chicken's butt. I wonder what it tastes like!!"

I often wonder this about MOST of the food we eat.

My favorite eggs...breakfast burrito. Scrambled with sausage or bacon (or chorizo), cheese, some jalapeno, and cilantro. With or without hot sauce and sour cream.

Eggs are my wife's comfort food. If she's not feeling well (mentally or physically), eggs are the go-to. I've experimented a lot on her...lol.
