I don't understand any difficulty in thinking what to prepare for
dinner... I'm ready to feed if Marine 1 lands in my yard. I keep a
very well stocked larder and can cook eggs dozens of ways... I always
have 3 dozen or more eggs in the fridge. I typically buy two of those
18 eg cartons each week and yesterday my neighbor brought me a doen
brown eggs as a thank you for the zukes and cukes.
