8 dozen eggs

Party was fab, and I got the catering amounts right.

There are leftover coco-pops - good. Just enough bread and mushrooms for our reasonable consumption in the next week and....

a lot of eggs.

I bought 4 trays of 30, or 120 eggs. I was feeling good, trifle and cake and pancake mix made on Sat night used up 30. So I had enough left for 1.5 eggs per person.

All was going well and based on what I have now, I would have had only 60 eggs left, but then astemudfoot brought me an extra 3 dozen in case I needed more. So now I have 8 dozen eggs.

We had omelettes for dinner tonight and used up a dozen. And then MsNotaGoth and MrPeacock and I ate custard consequence meringues that were forgotten yesterday, while we watched the first ep of my birthday present DVD's of Sharpe's Rifles. This may not be good for my health.

Bring out your ridiculous egg recipes. This is the time to try out the 10 egg pound cake recipe Almanzo's sister mentioned when they made icecream, and the 12 egg christmas cake Sneetch made for me when he was in prep.

I probably don't need to panic too much. They're all free range and I'm told the ones I bought were two days old, and I'm sure astemudfoot's eggs were a similar age. I've probably got 6 weeks to get through 8 7 dozen eggs...
