Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.

National Don’t Put All Your Eggs in One Omelet Day falls every year on July 9. The holiday’s name is a play on “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket,” an idiom that warns people against concentrating all their efforts or putting all their hopes into one venture because they could lose it all. The analogy applies to omelets as well. Have you ever gotten so hungry that you crack too many eggs into the pan, and end up with a sloppy mishmash of an omelet? It’s irritating, messy, and wasteful. This special holiday hopes to discourage that.

Eggs are more than food. They’ve played a symbolic role in many cultures and civilizations. They’ve appeared in festivals, ceremonies, and traditional celebrations. They represent change and growth.

In America, the Denver sandwich was a favorite throughout the 1900s. The eggs delivered to the town by wagon freight tasted stale, so locals would add cheese, diced ham, green peppers, mushrooms, and onions, and place them between bread slices. Many people claim to have invented the Denver sandwich. Some say Chinese railroad cooks made the first ones. Others say it was cattle drivers from the American west. Later, a breadless version called the Denver omelet was introduced. Although it is still up for debate who the original creator of omelets is, their popularity is not. Tasty, nutritious, and easy to make, omelets will always have a special place on our breakfast tables.

We have a fridge clean out omelet for dinner every couple  weeks. It includes any leftover ham, sausage, steak, hot dogs, hamburger, bologna, baked potatoes, onions, tomatoes, spinach, mushrooms, and cheese.

Sausage, mushroom and cheese omelets, are my favorites, yummy!  @squonk and I eat breakfast at the Sunset Diner while at the Show and that's my preferred choice.

We'll do a similar clean out scramble - hash browns, ham, onion, peppers (sweet and hot), bacon, hot dogs, etc, etc and 3 scrambled eggs.

Sausage, onion and cheese for me. Sharp cheddar or Provolone if you like it gooey.
