the best scrambled eggs

Been thinking about modern life and how I like to lead it. What better way to start than with my Dad's Scrambled Eggs?

Paul Palmer’s Scrambled Eggs—(I learned to cook from my Dad; Mom boiled cans of green beans. Sorry, Mom) Ingredients: Eggs, milk, butter, salt. In a huge skillet—the more surface area, the better—over medium heat, melt as much salted butter as your wife will allow. In a big ol’ mixing bowl break 6 eggs and whisk the hell out of them. Add a skoush (I don’t know, until it looks right) of milk. Whisk in the milk. When butter is just bubbling, pour in eggs and DON’T touch ‘em for a minute. You want to get a good solid egg-foundation going. Then with a wide spatula (or fork or whisk or whatever) pull the bottom layer in toward the center and let the top layer of liquid-y eggs get to the heat. Now you’re off (and if you haven’t gotten the toast in the toaster yet, you’re screwed because it’s next to impossible to get the eggs and toast to be warm at the same time.). Keep moving the eggs until they are solid enough to eat. Some people like them gooier than others, so you decide. Salt to taste. Serve right away and eat your toast later.

Keep an eye out for Paul Palmer's Popcorn recipe.
