Friday Poll

I consider myself a pretty good cook. Not the best in the world, but certainly able to whip up some tasty fare.

I love eggs, and I pride myself on my seasoning ability.

And yet, Hubba-hubba sees fit to drench my precious eggs in ketchup, thereby obliterating any seasoning efforts. I get a little cranky when this happens, and sort of rebel by not cooking eggs at all. He says I'm overreacting.

So, ketchup on eggs- tasty or revolting?

Disgusting! My husband puts ketchup on so many things, most of which make me want to gag. When I was pregnant with Harry he almost made me throw up by making a taco with ketchup. The smell was almost too vile for my tender stomach. Ketchup belongs on fries (and other similar potato products) and hamburgers. Some people might put it on hotdogs, but to me, only mustard belongs on a hotdog. Sadly my kids are more like my husband and would eat it with anything.

Ketchup has no business on eggs.

You used the perfect word for it - revolting.

Revolting.

I can't tell you how many times I've asked my husband to just taste it before he doctors up something I've cooked.

Hate to be the odd one out here, but I'm on hubba-hubba's side on this one.

Ketchup on eggs always reminds me of my late grandfather, so I'm all for it. Of course, he also ate applesauce on his cereal, which I definitely don't partake in. Nostalgia only takes you so far.

And PS, yes I'd love to meet up with you and Y--did you get my emails? Hope all is well!

My boy looooooves the ketchup on the eggs (and on pretty much anything). I think it's okay, but a little too sweet. My preference is for salsa or tabasco on eggs.MMMMMMMMMMMM!

Revolting. Actually, ketchup on anything is revolting. It's not allowed in my house eggs or no.

Hey, Hi there POW! Haven't seen you around. Do you blog since you gave up your main one? Miss you.

Eggs and ketchup? Not for me, but who am I to judge Py when he does it? He doesn't judge me when I drink diet coke with my eggs in the morning, so I think we're OK. ;)

I have ketchup with scrambled eggs, or fried eggs, but with poached eggs or boiled eggs I have marmite (which most people in the USA consider even more revolting, LOL!)

Seems to me it's a personal taste thing. One of my sons adds tabasco sauce to several dishes I cook. It's his tastebuds... and since he likes the food better with tabasco, that's OK. I can't stand it myself, but he's always liked hot and spicy food.

Life's too short to feel offended when someone adds ketchup or tabasco or anything else, IMO.

Whatever floats your boat. Or your eggs. Personally, it would ruin carefully seasoned eggs for me. But if I had to make 'em for a ketchup fan, I think I would just scramble and dump 'em on the plate.

When I was a kid I would eat eggs with kechup...
My taste buds evolved...
That's all I have to say....

Perhaps not revolting, just unnecessary. The people who put hot sauce on eggs are revolting.

Ketchup on scrambled eggs only. Not on over-easies or any other kind. And I also like ketchup on macaroni and cheese. Sigh. What can I say? But never on a hotdog.

Onward

The end of the school year, finally! Did I tell you that my son went to public school this past year? Did I tell you that my daughter was in a regular Kinder classroom this year? Although it was nice to have them both in school, there were definitely things I was not so hip on, such as having to wake up at 5:20 every morning just to get everyone out the door on time.  And then after all the driving and dropping off, going to work. Such fun! I had forgotten the dreariness of having to complete mounds and mounds of homework (even though new research has shown that homework, especially for Kinder, is for shit).  Of constant deadlines and fundraisers and things I am supposed to volunteer for. My daughter had a good year, but was definitely not without its bumps. Her teacher, an older, highly experienced, practical woman with a Master's in Education, kept referring to my daughter as an "inclusion student."  It wasn't her name or just "student" but was...

Apples and Oranges

Perhaps some of you may have noticed, but the real estate market is beginning a tumble in prices that benefit us, prospective buyers. And we're going to wait. That is cold, cold comfort to those such as J and Py , who are attempting to sell their place as we speak. But, we're not going to wait too much longer, if that makes them feel any better. There is no sense trying to time the bottom of the market, and we have been putting off moving, oh, since Mr. P was born because of the huge runup in prices. So huge that at one point, we could barely afford to buy our own place from ourselves. We should be ok even if we sell at a lower price than we could have gotten say, two years ago. We have, however, a dilemma. We have narrowed our choices down to two cities. And we are stuck there. We just can't figure out which city is better, and they are oh-so-different. Let me give you a rundown. City 1 Older, smaller houses (in our price range) Larger lots Beach city Infrastructure...

D-A-N-G

As with all young children, for a very long time we parents rely on the old "spell the word out" trick for talking about things in front of them that we don't want them to know. Well, our time seems just about up. Hubba-hubba was trying to tell me about an upcoming event in which Santa would be making an appearance. As Mr. P is very much into Christmas this year, we knew that any mention of Santa would bring a long soliliquoy about how Santa is magic and how he makes the toys and how he has a list and on and on and on. And at that moment, we just didn't feel like hearing it. Don't judge people, don't judge. So, Hubba-hubba spelled out "S-A-N-T-A." "Hey, what did you just say?" said the five year old. "Nothing" lied replied his father. "I know what you said, Daddy! You said Santa!" Anybody know a place that sells semaphore flags?
