Earl LeonardSounds like love, but what's the sigh for?

Right, I'll have none of that `you can use water or skim-milk' malarkey thank you very much.
If you're gonna scramble eggs, it has to be a tablespoon of CREAM per egg, consarn it.
Sure it may be more fattening. But I jog to work.
Anyways, what I'm actually thinking about is:
What else (besides chopped chives) do I like to mix through my eggs before cooking?
Curry powder?
No, not for me. Too risky.
Red Cabbage?
Taste nice if you chop it finely enough, but it makes your eggs look blue. And I'm just not ready for that yet.
Corn kernels?
Yum. But still not big on the visual (five sense and all that).
Parmesan?
Again, tastes good, but makes the eggs a bit lumpy.
Cream cheese?
Well, maybe if we were using milk or water, but this is probably overkill the proper way.
Hang on a moment.
Celery leaves work pretty well, gives a nice bite, but the textures a bit too chewy (which is already a risk with scrabbled eggs if your stove or pan are a bit dodge and tricky to get on the right heat).
This is gonna take some more thought, some time, and a lot more eggs.
And I haven't even started on omelets yet.

Welcome to a far less argumentative place (although that may change; I haven't been blogging here long and may attack nemesisesisissss eventually)
But, well yeah, pepper is a must! (and such a given, I was kind of working on the assumption that it'd be involved one way or the other with all the above experimentation).
In other trivia `scrambled eggs' was the working title for the song `yesterday' when Paul McCartney first started working on it.
See you round the traps. (Hopefully they're not fiendish death-traps designed to put an end- once and for all- to the dynamic duo, of course).
