So, pad thai calls for scrambled eggs. I’m making pad thai for dinner. This is the point when I realize that I’ve never made scrambled eggs. Ever. In my whole life. I like my eggs over easy. Now, I’ve broken the yolk once or twice. I’ve made omelettes and crepes and soufflés and macaroons and… lots of other things that require one or both parts of the egg to be beaten. Do they count? I don’t think they do. But I had never, ever intentionally made a scrambled egg before tonight. My husband found this BEYOND funny. Apparently, scrambled eggs are what most kids (read: him as a teenager) make themselves for breakfast in high school. Is it really so odd that I’ve made it through more than a quarter of a century of life without making scrambled eggs? Are they really that ubiquitous in our culture? 
In other news, there were baby duckies at the feed store. Aren’t they cute? Don’t you just want to take one home? I did, too, until my husband gleefully described how much ‘fun’ our dogs would have with an adorable, lemon colored duckling. He then said “I don’t like them – they wet their nests.” Um, no thanks. They sure were cute, though.

You are lying to us. There is no way you have never made a scrambled egg.
I refuse to believe it.
Comment by Queen of Spain June 3, 2006 @ 11:42 pmI never liked scrambled eggs as a kid, while all my siblings ate them. I love a fried egg. I have made them once or twice in my whole lifetime. The second time being the other day and they came out kind of like a glop of eggs rather than scrambled:o) I’m not sure what I did wrong and how someone can mess up scrambled eggs. I hope yours came out better.
Baby ducks are cute, but they are messy and woudl not last long with my dogs either:o)
Comment by Kim June 4, 2006 @ 4:53 amOh my. A scrambled egg is even made on accident sometimes. I think you’ve made ‘em and just not realized it.
If I’m wrong – then I’m with your hubby on this one. *points and laughs*
Comment by Chase June 4, 2006 @ 6:12 amWell, that is interesting that you’ve never made scrambled eggs, but since you’ve made omletes I’ll give you break.
I love all of the Alaska pictures. My brother lives in Anchorage and he tries his best to get me to move up there. You’re pictures make me romantisize living there, but winters are long enough where I live.
Comment by Zoe June 4, 2006 @ 6:12 amWOW no making scrambled eggs to this point is VERY hard to believe. I have made them a hundred times in my life it seems.
