This page on Sous-Vide chicken explains why the USDA uses the 160 degree rule.

http://www.seriouseats.com/2015/07/the-food-lab-complete-guide-to-sous-vide-chicken-breast.html

Basically it is based round bacterial survival rate at certain temperatures. At 165 degrees bacteria is killed in an instant. You can pasteurize chicken at 130 degrees, it just takes a long time. 

As long as the eggs reach a temperature threshold and is held at the temperature for a specific amount of time then it's perfectly safe to eat.

Speaking of the FDA, unrelated to eggs, thanks all for the recipes and recs, the FDA recommends against eating any kind of raw cookie dough. Two people got sick eating a store's raw cookie dough despite claims the process removes any food borne diseases.

My wife over-cooks the hell out of scrambled eggs.

Over-cooked eggs are no bueno.

Hot sauce is good. So is ketchup. Sometimes I'll use both.

As a Texan with college roommates from S Texas, I also learned to stir in chorizo and/or fried diced potatoes for ranch eggs

I never make omelettes. All my "omelettes" are scrambled where the egg is stirred into the other ingredients.

I like a good thin skillet style omelette. The diner style has its place but I don’t prefer it.

That's true of any food. One of the big things is milk, because the pasteurization process destroys natural enzymes in milk that aid digestion.

As I understand it, the enzymes are preserved if milk is pasteurized at a lower temperature for a longer time, but it's more efficient for companies to mass produce bottles of milk by heating them up to 165°F for a couple of seconds so that's what they do.

It's not an omlette - you think South Texas ranch hands make omelettes? This is Texas - we just pour in other ingredients as the egg is finishing - small Tex-Mex places started it, now we have Torchy Tacos or some other franchise making scrambled eggs with brisket, jalepenos, onions and cheese on a flower tortilla. It's a soft taco with scrambled eggs and other goodies.

Relax, hombre. I didn't say you made omelettes. I said I cook my eggs similar to what you do.

The food in Texas is second to none IMO. The BBQ & Tex-Mex is incredible.

I'm chill - thought it was funny ... omelette v soft taco - huevos con chorizo, although you could add sauteed onions, cheese, and jalapenos and have a tasty omelette with some pico de gallo on top.

It can be ... and after eating Tex-Mex in OK, I would think anything in Texas is second to none :-)

Have tried all types of pizza, Otto's, the original main one in Portland, ME, makes some very good pizza. Original topping combos. Good crust. It was so good, finished it before thinking of taking a photo. Didn't even know about it just passed by and it looked good. Should do serendipitous finds more often but with big data, much rarer nowadays.

Now there's 2 words you seldom find in the same sentence together, "Tex-Mex" and "incredible"!

Would you eat a FUC me burrito? Sure, as long as the Plan B burrito is still available. :-P

She lost me at "make sure you add 'ies' at the end, it makes it cute."

Plus, no spoon or knife to lick after making a peanut butter sandwich is blasphemy. 

Then again I don't consider spending extra time out of my day to make an already easy task more convenient worth pursuing. Maybe if I had to make a few dozen sandwiches at a time, but for one or two sandiches once in a while, this wouldn't save me any time at all and the "slices" would take up valuable space in my freezer.

    • Exactly correct.   I was absolutely certain about the penalty (none here), but the bit about where they play from can be really confusing the first time you read it.  In my big paper rule book, i used colored highlighters to make it clear.  Good thing I did, at the Cascades there's little to no cell service, so using the rules app on the phone wasnn't possible.  
    • Taking a crack it, but looks pretty clear. 11.1  Ball in Motion Accidentally Hits Person or Outside Influence. a. No Penalty to Any Player If a player’s ball in motion accidentally hits any person (including the player) or outside influence: There is no penalty to any player. This is true even if the ball hits the player, the opponent or any other player or any of their caddies or equipment. Reading further down it looks like they have to play the ball as it lies. No replay from the previous spot. 
    • I had an interesting one yesterday, a local qualifier for the US Senior Open, at the Cascades Course at the Homestead.  Well, first things first, the VSGA arrnged for the officials to play the Cascades on Monday at the players' practice round rate.  Its lots of fun, rather old-style (built in the 1920s).  anyway, a player missed a short putt, and (apparently embarrassed) took a step to be ready to tap the ball back in.  The ball lipped out, and hit the player's foot.  I was nearby, and they waved me over, and asked "What do we do now?"  I was pretty sure of the ruling, but asked them to wait for a few seconds while i double-checked.  I did have it correct, even though its one of the more confusing rules in the book right now.  I'll leave the correct answer out for now, in case anyone wants to guess, or research it, and post their ruling.
    • I am going to try to try to have more intent with my shot routines. I saw this process in a YouTube video I watched last night.  Decide what you want to happen - Yardage, shot shape, start line Visualize what you want to happen - Straight forward, but one tip he suggested was while focusing the shot take in a slow deep breath (like 4 seconds in duration), hold for 1 second, then exhale slowly (like 4 seconds again). There is some evidence to show that this rhythmic style of breathing can help in calming heart rate and improving focus.  Feel what you want to happen. - Your 1-2 practice swings. Like if you need to hit your PW at 90%, feeling that.  Commit to what you want to happen on the ball.  Post-shot routine, where you either gain confidence from a good shot or learn from a mistake to foster a growth mentality. - If it was a good shot then give yourself some good vibes/feedback. If the shot didn't turn out, then access why to learn from it. I am going to add, don't get negative. 
    • I mean, if you like GZ, and would drink it more often during a round than water, then keep drinking that. If you walk 18 holes, on a hot summer day, and drink 2 20-oz waters or 4 20-oz GZ. You will benefit more from the 4 20-oz GZ because it's like 99.99% water, lol. Yea, if flavored water makes you drink more water, then that works better.  I would just monitor the salt intake relative to your own health. I am sure some people might have to be careful. GZ is 280 mg salt. So, 4 of those is over 1000 mg. It is over 4 hours. That is like half the daily recommended intake of salt. You are probably losing some of your salt reserves playing golf. Long winded way of saying, it depends on the person.
