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'.

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