My Mom used to say, "there are starving children in China".<br /><br />It didn't work in our house either. We'd look at her, eyes glazed over, and still whine about what we were expected to eat.<br /><br />PrisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606323274581724793.post-58829373409900539662010-01-05T10:16:19.405-08:002010-01-05T10:16:19.405-08:00i'd like to try a little lemon flavor in my eg...i'd like to try a little lemon flavor in my eggs.<br />i try to eat eggs for protein, but don't normally like them.<br />i do like lemon flavor- so maybe this would help.<br /> thanks.Pedalinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13994292348608214093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606323274581724793.post-83591821885234431842010-01-04T16:06:59.487-08:002010-01-04T16:06:59.487-08:00Lemon on scrambled eggs.

It makes me think of a baked "pancake" I've made a few times, where the center part comes out very eggy while the outer edges are crispy and brown. You squeeze a lemon over the eggy part. And some powdered sugar. Not quite the same thing of course. But it made me think of it. The eggy part, the lemon.Faith https://www.blogger.com/profile/00064746447414555577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606323274581724793.post-28714828175125677122010-01-04T08:19:46.212-08:002010-01-04T08:19:46.212-08:00My Mother used the starving Chinese on me.

Sort of a lazy cook's chile rellenos.<br /><br />In fact, I got my own breakfast too. Usually cereal. That began when I was about three. No, I didn't cook when I was three. Are you sure we're not related?<br /><br />Z - in our house when we were kids, it was our Dad who was the stickler for eating everything on our plate at dinner. It didn't matter how much we spread the peas, or whatever all over our plates, we had to sit there 'til hell froze over, or the food, until we ate it all. <br /><br />My sister would hold it in her mouth until she looked like a squirrel storing nuts for the winter. I swear.<br /><br />Dad would say, "you don't know what it's like to be really hungry. Now, finish eating".<br /><br />PrisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606323274581724793.post-13597750208752108082010-01-03T15:05:49.420-08:002010-01-03T15:05:49.420-08:00Z, my mom was like that in many ways, but not abou...Z, my mom was like that in many ways, but not about breakfast. She's still a late sleeper. We got our own breakfast and that meant we scrambled for leftovers. Whoever lost the mad scramble ate cereal. As for juevos, they usually had ketchup on them in our house! :-)<br /><br />I've learned to enjoy them with hot sauce or medium salsa with a healthy sprinkling of sharp chedder cheese.<br /><br />I like your mom.JINGOISThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05767545065448290469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606323274581724793.post-48586217201618352132010-01-03T12:05:41.364-08:002010-01-03T12:05:41.364-08:00FB..I'm thinking the zest might be strong, but...FB..I'm thinking the zest might be strong, but let me know. And yes, I learned that in Rome....very low heat and stir, stir, stir...actually, you almost have to be careful they don't turn to custard that way....you know? It gets such a lovely soft consistency....thanks for that reminder.<br />Please try just salt and lemon on top first and let me know how you like it. xxx then the zest and also let me know!<br />I've used vegetable oil instead of butter from time to time and am interested to know the olive oil doesn't overpower the eggs...will try that!Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15989573357446569262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606323274581724793.post-11331348007603118392010-01-03T08:21:58.317-08:002010-01-03T08:21:58.317-08:00Lemon sounds nice actually.

Maybe add some lemon zest to the eggs too for flavor.<br /><br />The way I do scrambled eggs, because the average way doesn't taste good to me, is with olive oil and at the lowest temperature. I never leave the eggs unattended and stir them frequently so it doesn't stick or dry. I gives a creamy, smooth, rich flavor. And I'm sure adding lemon and zest to it would be delicious.<br /><br />FrogBurgerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606323274581724793.post-35929028373149601552010-01-03T03:28:05.374-08:002010-01-03T03:28:05.374-08:00I like salsa on my omlettes...I'll explain on ...I like salsa on my omlettes...I'll explain on the phone.<br /><br />I guess you use what you have available, which is why we have different cuisines...part of the adventure of life!<br />GOD bless and MARANATHA!<br /><br />tmw<br />This morning the link works, hmmmmmm?the merry widowhttp://the-merry-widow.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606323274581724793.post-74201896382157875522010-01-03T02:59:38.724-08:002010-01-03T02:59:38.724-08:00Scrambled eggs with lemon?
