Way too fussy for two schtinkin' eggs/toddlers's portion.... ya know
they package eggs in cartons of a dozen for a reason, because you're
supposed to cook em all at once. I can't remember ever cooking less
than the entire dozen, we get two meals from a dozen egg potato
omelet... sometimes I've cooked the entire carton of eighteen eggs.
Right now I have two dozen and half cartons and a one dozen carton of
eggs in the fridge. When I make egg drop soup in a three quart pot I
use six eggs. I've always been generous.

Okay, tell me, WTF did you dirty your kitchen for just two eggs?
