I like 'em scrambled :)


I like ‘em scrambled J

            During my long eighteen years of living, scrambled eggs have always been there for me when I need them. Whether to welcome me home from a long day or console me when I was tired or hurt, over the years this yummy food has provided me with loads of love and attention and now holds a special place in my heart.
            My mom’s scrambled eggs are on the most comforting foods in the world to me. She makes them almost the same way every single time and they never get old. First she cuts up green onions, tomatoes, Italian sausage and puts them in the pan with a smidget of vegetable oil. (The smell of onions and peppers alone is amazing by the way!) Then she cracks the eggs, puts them in a bowl and throws in some shredded cheese, black pepper and salt and mixes the whole thing together. Once the concoction is blended together she throws it into the pan with the onions, tomatoes and sausage. Then she waits a few minutes and viola, perfectly cooked scrambled eggs appear on my plate. J And somehow these scrambled eggs are always fluffy and cooked to perfection, not to dry and not too runny. The sausage which is always crisped just a tad and the veggies give the eggs a zangy flavor that makes my tummy grumble and my mouth water.
            Because I love my mom’s scrambled eggs so much I do anything it takes to get them. I’m ashamed to say that I have begged, cried and even told a few white lies to get these eggs. By begging, I mean following my mom around the house and hoping to annoy her until she gave into me. By crying I mean shedding a few tears because of the extreme stress that AP classes and finals were inflicting upon me and hinting that some of my favorite scrambled eggs would help ease the situation. J And by a few white lies I mean drumming up a fake illness here or there to get some sympathy and hopefully eggs. Shameful? Yeah you could say  that, but worth it? Hell Yes! Through these tactics I have had managed to have eggs multiple times a week for with either breakfast, lunch or dinner J
            Simply put scrambled eggs are arehhhhhmazinggg and I would highly recommend everybody to whip some up righhhhhhhht now! J

  1. Emoticon overload! But I'll forgive you since this is the last post. What I have enjoyed about your blog is that you treated each food item, from a little sauce on a sandwich to Cheetos to scrambled eggs, with a kind of grateful respect and sense of celebration. And you have done so in a style that is welcoming to your reader and certainly your own. Very nice, overall!
