long time no see!

that sounds similar to what i've been making a lot recently. here's how i do it:
4-6 slices bacon
1/2 onion
1/2 red pepper
2 hot pepperoni sticks
4 eggs + whipping cream, half & half, etc
1 medium red potato

fry the bacon & set it aside ("reserve" it ). dice the potato chunky & make pan fries in the bacon grease (add butter if needed). then add in chunky diced onion & red pepper & pepperoni sticks cut up into ~1cm chunks, & chopped bacon (add more butter if needed). after the onion & pepper has gone soft add in the egg/cream mixture, turn it all over a few times to make sure it's uniform, lower the temp & cover for a few minutes. turn it over a few times to break up the mixture & it's done when the egg stuff goes solid. dont let it go brown

i guess it's kind of like scrambled eggs with pan fries, onion, pepper & bacon mixed in, but i don't think it really is because there are roughly equal amounts of everything. it just sort of holds everything together.

in jamison/jamison's "a real american breakfast" they call it amana hoppelpoppel which is german & "has stoked many an iowa farmhand". they don't include the red pepper or pepperoni sticks but they say there's plenty of freedom to add different ingredients besides the 'base' recipe they give.

I meant the original recipe with tortillas.
