Earl Cooks Weeknight "Breakfast for Dinner"

We often have what others consider breakfast for dinner, and when we do, most often it is scrambled eggs. We like them with lots of cheese and we usually top them with green onions. But tonight my wife (a.k.a."Turkey") wanted the onions sauteed and more mild. I was more than willing to oblige, since variety is the spice of life, I sauteed the onions, whipped up the eggs in my handy little mixer and before I knew it, it was time to add the shredded cheese! Scrambled eggs are by far the quickest way to get a protein rich meal on the table.

My wife likes hers with ketchup, but I prefer Chili Sauce, which is basically very chunky ketchup, which I learned to eat when my mother made a large batch of it for my father when I was a child. I later found it in the grocery stores and they called "Homemade Chili Sauce" which is what we called too!. Heinz also makes a version, and most grocery chains have their own version. Not to be confused with salsa, this is mild, like ketchup, with the chunky freshness of salsa. When my dad later ran out of the real homemade, he switched to Tabasco, which isn't close. He didn't do the shopping and the good stuff wasn't available in the coffee shops he frequented. I also like mine with toast because it helps me shovel the eggs toward my fork, My toast was a delicious piece of my wife's homemade bread slathered with butter. Dinner is complete—veggies—proteins—carbs!
