I mostly use eggs when I bake the occasional pan of cornbread or make
quiche or use as a binder in salmon patties, etc. Eating eggs just as
eggs, not so much. I occasionally only buy a half-dozen carton.
Generally that's plenty for a month unless I have something specific
planned.

I do feel a breakfast-for-dinner hankering coming up, probably this
weekend. (The office is closed on Monday for President's Day and I
don't work on Fridays.) I have a recipe for a "skillet breakfast" (call
it a frittata if you'd like since there are potatoes that form the base
like a crust) that is baked in a 12-inch cast iron skillet. Calls for
four eggs, which is all I have left so it's time to buy more. Unlike
some posters, who shall remain nameless, I don't let myself run out of
refrigerator or pantry staples.
