People who don't raise chickens may not realize this, but chickens lay eggs whether the household is particularly in the mood for egg-centric food or not.

We get 2-3 dozen eggs a week, which is a lot of eggs for 3 people.

We give them away, of course, but sometimes they add up.

I just made two dozen deviled eggs, 47 halves.

It's an egg-food incremental distribution system:

One doesn't usually make a whole meal of deviled eggs, but somebody opens the fridge, sees them, and says, "Oh, deviled eggs! I should grab two of those for a snack!"

That GeePaw. He's *alllllllllways* thinkin'.

(And, for the record, you *can* make a whole meal of deviled eggs. I am 66 years old, and I seen and done some crazy shit in my time, and I ain't judgin'.)

@GeePawHill 47? cook's perk?
Show threadGeePawHill16h ago
@fishidwardrobe Actually, no, it was a half-shell that was very thin and tore.

@GeePawHill can you crack them, mix them up and freeze them? Does that work?
Show threadGeePawHill16h ago
@coldfish Yes, which would be great if you had a lull in production, but that's just it, you really don't *have* lulls in production.

@GeePawHill how do you devil your eggs? classic mustard-mayo??
Show threadGeePawHill16h ago
@GaryAsh I wanted some piquancy this time, so I used yellow mustard, chopped pepperoncini and juice, and just barely enough mayo to get it to the right degree of crumble.

@GeePawHill sounds, good. I like spicey Chinese style mustard Jalapeno pepper rings and juice.

@GeePawHill Funny you should mention that – a photo came up in my memories today of five dozen eggs in my fridge ten years ago, when I used to have chickens. Fortunately I found a community café that were only too happy to exchange a load of eggs for a couple of fried breakfasts!
