Anyone who knows me well knows that I absolutely HATE eggs. I have not eaten one in over 20 years when I was a kid, except on the occasional Eggs Benedict when I am very picky about how it is prepared (must be poached very hard) or on an Egg McMuffin where I always order a knife along with it so I can cut away any part that we call Lace, in the south. Scrambled eggs, fried eggs, omelets, heck no. I can't even smell them cooking without literally having dry heaves. That is why this food craving has come as such a shock to me. When we were on our crazy trip to East TN. my aunt made a fritatta. I had seen them prepared on cooking shows and swore them off because the main ingredient is eggs. She packed it full of cheese and tons of roasted veggies. I had to at least give it a tiny taste. I was so surprised that I liked it, no I didn't like it, I loved it, and was now addicted to it and knew that I would crave it. We went out for breakfast last week and I ordered an omelet. Hubby ordered something else just in case the outside was crusty and full of lace which I couldn't handle. But no, it was delicious. Then my cousin sent me a wonderful recipe for ziploc bag omelets where you place all of your ingredients in a bag and then into boiling water. They are perfect for me. No lace because they don't touch a pan. I have been making them a lot since he sent me the recipe. Granted, they have to be packed full of stuff for me to eat them, and I can't eat any part that is just egg, but still, this is very surprising for me that I actually like the one food that I had sworn off so many years ago. I wonder if it is a pregnancy craving or if I will always like them.

Whoa! You actually tried the crazy ziploc omelet? Sweet! I haven't tried them yet so it's good to know that they don't totally suck.
(under my breath) Buuaaahahahaha - my plan to find ziploc omelet guinea pigs worked to perfection!!!
They are delicious. We all love them here. I got stuff to make them this weekend to try out on company. Tina & Brooke that means you. Beware.
What a couple of geeks I'm related to. :) I can't believe that my cousin is addicted to anything whatsoever eggish??! The world is coming to an end. Daniel you are a tard. Where did you even find that little recipe? I have to admit though, that I've been really wanting to try em'. I'm excited to know we'll get to this weekend. I guess the ziplocomeletes are good for you too because you don't really smell em' cooking? Gosh Daniel's a tard. I keep looking over at that quote and cracking up.
Um, whoops that last one was me. :D Durrrrrrr.........
Funny. The 'lace' is my favorite part. I intentionally burn mine around the edges so it will knit itself...:)
When I was pregnant I craved deviled eggs, I remember. My mother in law made me a batch of her 'famous' ones and i ate all of them...with yucky results. So, no more eggs for me during that pregnancy.
I did drink gallons of milk though, so I guess everybody has an ongoing craving when they're 'enormous with embryo'. :)
Oh, and I won't be in Memphis nxt weekend...it'll be July fourth weekend that I'll be there. And the full week prior to that.
Ok, I now too share your love of the magical ziplock omelet. I'm happy I have been enlightened and shown the way to the bright path of ziplocomeletdom. And a big thanks for fixin' it for me this week. Can't wait to see ya'll this weekend! Yay!!!!!
