Scrambled eggs

In a blender, add two eggs and 1 tablespoon of cream, milk or water per person. Pulse to mix until foamy and yellow.

In a medium skillet, add 1 tablespoon of butter and melt over low heat. When the butter begins to brown, pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Add any additional ingredients. Using a wooden spoon, stir the eggs, slowly pushing them around in the skillet until large mass of fluffy, soft curds form. Add salt and pepper to taste. Turn scrambled eggs out onto a warm plate and enjoy.

Scrambled egg tips:

• Cook your eggs over low heat and stirring constantly with a wooden spoon will produce the creamiest, softest curds. It may take a few minutes, but your patience will be well rewarded.

• Don’t overcook your eggs. Eggs continue to cook after you remove them from the heat, so turn them off a minute before you think they are done.

• Use butter for a nutty flavor. Cooking your scrambled eggs in olive oil gives them a light, fruity taste.

• Add a squeeze of lemon juice to make your eggs even more tender.

Ingredients to jazz up your scrambled eggs:

(Measurements per 2 eggs)

• Add 1 tablespoon each of pepper-jack, cheddar and Swiss cheese

• Chop 1 pineapple ring, add with 2 tablespoons shredded or diced ham

• 1/4 cup smoked salmon, 3 tablespoons cream cheese, 2 tablespoons diced green onions

• 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese, 2 tablespoons Marinara, 6 slices pepperoni

• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs or 1 teaspoon dried

• 1/4 cup sour cream

• 1/4 cup goat cheese, crumbled

• 1/4 cup sun-dried or 1 chopped fresh tomato with a sprinkle of feta cheese

• 1/2 cup salsa and 3 tablespoons Monterey Jack cheese

• 1/4 cup diced green chilis or jalapenos with cheddar cheese

• 1 clove minced garlic and 1 small onion, chopped

• 3 or 4 shakes of Tabasco sauce

With all of these wonderful ideas, there is no reason to have dull eggs again. Let your imagination wander and see what kind of amazing egg concoction you can come up with. Your family will be thrilled and amazed with the exciting new egg dishes you invent.

The Man Who Lived in an Egg Cup $7 In the corridors of every hospital lurk tales of triumph and tragedy, lives won and lost to the world of medicine. But the complexity of the human psyche cannot be stripped down to mere science. Indeed, it’s in this environment—where people remain at their most vulnerable—that the human condition manifests itself the strongest. In these alternately heartwarming and heartbreaking memoirs—most previously published in some of America’s best journals, such as Epoch, Boulevard, The Antioch Review, and The Alaska Quarterly Review—author John Gamel shares what he’s seen during a lifetime in medicine. These are the stories behind the stories, and with them come the desires, failures, addictions, and frailties that make us who we are.
