Call for recipes from the eggheads

The local Safeminicks was running a sale on eggs last weeked. About a dollar a dozen, but you had to buy three dozen to get that savings. So now I've got three dozen eggs that I'd really like to use up in the next four-to-six weeks (because stale eggs, ugh!) Just making an omelette every morning would do the trick, but that would drive me insane inside of ten days.

So suggestions, people! I'm not on any crazy diet, so baked goods are kosher. (I promise I'll buy new ingredients this time to avoid another kitchen katastrophe.) Tell me your favourite things to do with the incredible edible egg.

Funny fingers

When the fingernail on my pointer finger gets beyond a certain length, using it to perform actions like pressing the touch/heat-sensitive surface of a button or screen can become difficult. The nail on my middle finger is broader and tends to curve under itself once it gets as long, so I often use that instead--but never alone. I'll still extend my pointer finger alongside it even if it's just for show.

I did this unconsciously on the elevator last night. Then I suddenly remembered watching an episode of the British version of Antiques Roadshow with monshu the other night and pointing out how an appraiser was using his solo middle finger to rub a groove on a piece of furniture. There was an auctioneer on a similar programme who had a habit of using his middle finger to push his spectacles onto the bridge of his nose.

The only time I ever saw anyone do something like that in the States was in high school, when we were always looking for ways to insult people (other students, our teachers, etc.) without getting caught. There was a kind of risqué cleverness to working the bird into an otherwise innocuous gesture. So some adolescent part of my brain is shouting, "DUDE! HIS FLIPPING OFF THE PUNTERS!!!" just before being corrected by the mature part which knows that this isn't an obscene gesture in the UK.

In fact, ironically, my now-ingrained habit of using the first two fingers to push my own glasses up or hit the button on elevator would be offensive in Britain. Must keep this in mind next time I'm abroad...
