I made my own pan fried french fries. Had an omelette in a sammich , too.
Also have a pot of home made chili con carne simmering for the last 3 hours or so.
This post reminds me to get off my butt and go stir the chili, make sure it has not burnt up!

Stepping out with the tofu!
He'll be lactating in no time
One gets tired of chicken and beef sometimes. I've eaten quite enough eggs and cheese lately, too.

I put in a big can of red kidney beans. Also chopped up some hot dogs, some bacon. I added a wee bit of cinnamon, brown sugar, chili powder,tomato sauce from the jar, etc.
I don't always make it this way, I like to switch things up. Sometimes just straight ''boring'' beans and ground beef , etc etc.
Sometimes I go on a recipe website such as all recipes.com and get ideas, tweak my own recipe.
Anyway, mine turns out pretty good. Sometimes I add a wee bit too much ''hot whatever'' and I get the hiccups while i'm eating my chili.
I turned 58 in April. I always loved to cook , even as a kid, a young boy. My mother is Italian ( Italian immigrant) so food was/is always a big part of our family life .
I'm not a gourmet cook or have any formal training, or even that my mother taught me loads of cooking lessons....it's just something that I enjoy, even a bit of simple baking ( cookies/cake), pastas, cannelloni, barbeques, sandwiches of all sorts .
I think , when I look back, is that when I was a kid, my much older brother (by 9 years) would sometimes take me to a fast food restaurant . Then by age 17-18, I had my driver's license and was working, I'd go to a variety of restaurants. Chinese, Indian, Thai, diners, fast food, Mexican, you name it.
At some point, I think by mid twenties, I just started trying to copy somewhat the restaurant meals at home....obviously not truly authentic, but as long as tasty and edible. trying to save my money from always wanting to go eat out/food delivery. I still enjoy take out/restaurant meals, but Everything costs just too much, add the tip, Gas cost, pay parking....adds up, going out for fish 'n chips or Indian food/Japanese/Chinese/pizza now and then is rare and a special treat.
Plus at my age, it's wise to look out for diabetes and heart issues, especially from over indulging from going out to eat/deliveries, with higher salt intake, sugars, fillers, etc. At home I cook and I can control/limit the bad stuff!

I was going to eat a salad for lunch, but went with a fried egg sandwich just to feel like one of the guys.

if I can suggest something to tweak the egg sandwich.....Do you like zucchini? if so, you can make something simple my mom would often make us for lunch , among other things.
Thinly slice up a cupful of zucchini, pan fry it with olive oil or vegetable oil. Just so it becomes a bit mushy and no raw bits. Then add your eggs. I often add a bit of grated parmesan cheese and garlic salt, black pepper. Sometimes I might add a bit of grated mozzarella cheese on top of the fried scrambled eggs.
But just the fried zucchini with scrambled eggs and a bit of salt is tasty enough.
Or...if not into zucchini , fry up some mushroom....scrambled eggs mushrooms. Same with frying up a bit of ham (in bits) scrambled eggs , grated some cheddar cheese on top.
Or another thing I like....chopped up some green onions. Fry them lightly, add your scrambled egg mixture to the frying pan, stir it up...add a tiny bit of garlic. Very tasty.
lol..one more.....Scrambled eggs with bacon. Fry up the bacon pieces first. Little pieces you cut up , then add an egg or two, scrambled it all up. I usually fry bacon strips and two over easy eggs, but sometimes I just want scrambled eggs with bacon in it.
