When we paid for the CSA, the nieces were on a real egg kick.

They wanted eggs every day. So we ordered a dozen a week. Those eggs are great, really.

Then the girls got off their kick, but still, we could go through a dozen a week if we tried. Sorta.

Then they went away for a month with their dad. And the eggs kept coming in. And to be honest, I don't really like eggs.

So now we're backlogged by four or five dozen eggs, and we're getting more every Thursday, and I've decided that this family has to eat a minimum of two eggs a day. Boy, have we been doing that!

The girls are about ready to mutiny, because if it's not eggs for breakfast it's eggs for dinner, and if it's not eggs for dinner it's eggs added to their BLTs, and if it's not eggs added to their BLTs it's more eggs for dinner and breakfast. Today I made them poached, tomorrow I'm adding them to fried rice, and by Friday it'll be time for French toast again.

I'd feed them to the cats at this point, but they don't particularly like eggs either! Maybe I should bake some more....

Angel food cake. Sunshine cake. Devilled eggs. Omelets. Dutch Baby pancakes. Crepes. Meringue pies. Easter pie. Boiled eggs. Eggs goldenrod. Vanilla pudding. Chocolate pudding. Butterscotch pudding.

Challah. Rich roll dough. Egg noodles (they keep forever, you know). Custards. Rice pudding. Salads topped with chopped boiled eggs. Egg salad sammiches. Potato salad. Macaroni salad. Mayonnaise. Genoise. Sponge cake. Chiffon cake. Lemon curd. Lime curd, for that matter. Pickled eggs. Shirred eggs.

I'll bet the nieces have never had oeufs avec beurre noir before. I like it, but my various SOs have not.

Thank you : )

The nieces hate mayo, and when it comes to breadstuff (including noodles), I'm not supposed to say this but we have a bit of a bug problem right now. A hot, humid summer will do that. Nothing I can't shove in a fridge, I'm afraid. Also, Jenn's on this grain-free kick. We're not actually grain free, but we're not adding new grains.

Actually, hungry as your list makes me,, I'm thinking really I'll just make vinegar eggs this weekend when they're with their dad.

BTW, Quiches freeze really nicely!

Bug...problem?

You don't have dry storage? I must have six dozen assorted airtight cans, canisters, and plastic bins of various sizes. They hold beans, cornmeal, noodles, and all the other pest-prone stuff that you don't particularly want to find meal moths in.

Old Tupperware is the best: I have a Cake Taker that fits a bundt or two-layer, a bin sized specifically to put saltine crackers in, a tall skinny spaghetti canister, a LARGE (ten-pound) flour canister, and a cool combined baked-goods-cover-and-slicing-board that holds one large 8x4 loaf neatly.
