Cheesy Scrambled Eggs

I really wanted fried chicken while the wife is out of town on a gambling trip with her cousin. But at the same time, I'm like, I have all this food in the house. Why spend the money? I chopped up some onion and sliced up some hot dogs. Added in my eggs, some shredded cheese, a little bit of pepper and voila! Dinner is served. Just a little drizzle of ketchup on top and I would say my meal is complete and I will have enough for tonight and a little bit leftover to have for lunch tomorrow. I know ketchup is a bit controversial on eggs. But I like it, so that's all that matters. What went on your dinner table tonight?

We may have to part ways over the egg Ketchup debate, but you are so right...it doesn't matter what other people say. For some reason my husband thinks putting Ketchup on fried potatoes is odd, but he puts it on French fries.

@porwest Basically that is how we are with steak. Just the steak please, no sauces.

The ONLY thing I ever really get my panties all in a bunch over is when I see someone put ketchup on a steak. Then I want to stab them. lol At the same time if I ever order a steak and they ask me if I want sauce, I usually tell them, "If I need sauce you can have your steak back."

@GardenGerty I mean, if I get a steak at Denny's, okay fine. Shame on me for ordering a steak with expectations. But that would be the only scenario. lol

The difference to me is that ketchup is too sweet compared with most tomatoes.

It does. It's delicious. Just love it. It is often funny to me that people will often eat eggs with tomato, but as soon as you suggest ketchup they frown. Makes no sense. lol

@rebelann I guess that could be true. Still. But as they say, to each their own. Some people swear by a Hawaiian pizza even if I think the entire idea is an abomination. lol

@porwest lololol You are such a meanie. I hate losing money in a casino. When we went to Erie we went to the Presque Isle Casino. I didn't even feel like playing very much. I let hubby play the slots and I watched.

The last report was not so good. She said she wished she had taken more cash and I told her to slow it down because she's not getting any more money. lol

@LindaOHio I used to like gambling more than I do now. It gets a bit boring real fast for me. Especially if the machines won't let me play.

Wait a minute? You had a quickie before the game? Wasn't this a bit too much information? This is a family site, you know.

I would eat that - minus the ketchup . I did have a friend who ate her scrambled eggs with ketchup and soy sauce. We're having leftover Thai yellow curry (homemade!) with rice.

@porwest I am Asian and even I think it's strange to have soy sauce on scrambled eggs (but it makes sense to have eggs in rice with soy sauce for fried rice ). But tomatoes and ketchup are different. Tomatoes are whole foods . . . ketchup is processed and loaded with sugar.

Now, soy sauce would seem strange to me on eggs. But I also cannot knock it. Ketchup is VERY good on eggs. I often find it strange that people scoff at it. A LOT of omelets have tomatoes in them.

It is definitely a throwback from when I was a kid. I was pleasantly surprised when I met my wife she said she liked ketchup too, and actually asked me to make scrambled eggs with hot dogs like "her mom used to make when she was kid." Ah. It was a match made in Heaven. lol

Aside from the rice I don't know what any of that is, although I am familiar with curries. Sounds good. For me sometimes a simple dish is just what the doctor ordered.

I just realised I have not made scrambled eggs since days. I use tomatoes for scrambled eggs and so the need to have ketch up does not arise.

Ketchup? Thank goodness I have a gold-encrusted vomitorium here. Just for your knowledge base: a place in which, according to popular misconception, the ancient Romans are supposed to have vomited during feasts to make room for more food.

Both sound delicious. I get made fun of sometimes because when I go out to eat, if there's salmon on the menu, that's usually get. But my wife doesn't like it so I never cook it at home.
