Using the mighty power of drugs I have arisen from the couch and successfully made breakfast. It was on easy mode as I meal prepped most of it in anticipation of work Mon & Tues, but it still involved cooking eggs so I count it as an achievement.

I received an order of 5 dozen on Friday. I had no idea there was a shortage until I saw it here.

And thus begins the great egg run of 2025, a mad scramble.

Supply chains are fried as supermarkets and even consumers continue to poach deliveries from one another.

What do you do with all those eggs?

[โ€“] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 4 points 6 months ago

Most go into breakfasts, unless I go on a custard binge. They are very fresh and last for a long time.
