Oh my gosh, my mom used to make that when we were kids; consequently, it's total comfort food. LOVE.
My favorite was cut-up hot dogs in Spaghettios. God, now I want Spaghettios.
I like money better than people. People can so rarely be exchanged for goods and/or services!

Start omelet, add feta, add sauteed onions, add diced ham. Soooooo goooood.
Yum.
I cut up a couple of hot dogs, browned them in butter and then scrambled a couple of eggs in the same pan. Not bad!
Also yum.

I have decided sausage beats ham OR bacon.
Live large -- add BOTH!!
Edit: Oops. Read to fast. Add ALL!!

Jilli, I'd try making a roux with arrowroot or tapioca or another flour before I gave up on gumbo.
And Consuela, your workplace angers me to no end. I just want you to work some place where they respect you and treat you as a valuable asset. Ideally, you'd still be in a position to hear how your Nemesis fucked it all to hell after you left.

Well, this is the crazy thing: they do. They would not be spending all this money on my contract if they didn't value what I do.
It's just that they're really REALLY bad at hiring, and there was the reorganization, and the division chief who re-programmed my position as something I'm not (and don't qualify for), and the new rules about veteran preferences...
I feel kind of zen about it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Actually, adding too much stuff is not as good, because of how the cafeteria guy cooks them. I do sometimes take feta AND cheddar, though.

OK, well that qualifies as large living. Carry on.

Jilli, could you use oat flour instead of wheat to start a roux if you were making it yourself?
Jilli, I'd try making a roux with arrowroot or tapioca or another flour before I gave up on gumbo.
Yeah, but this means I have to try making a roux. Which is something I've been too wimpy to attempt. I fear the scorching! I am not an attentive or organized cook!

Okay, then they really are crazy. Because I have no idea how you've put up with years of this bullshit! I mean, I'm glad they value you, but oy!

That's how I came to make my omelet. I decided, "Well, maybe the French know what they're talking about and maybe less is more and maybe Americans have a problem with restraint when it comes to pizza and omelets. I'll compromise and limit myself to three ingredients though no self-respecting Frenchman would ever do more than two, and one of them would be an herb like chervil."
