What do you do with all those eggs?

[MROO]

THANK YOU!!! THAT's what those things are called, I have been looking for them for years! LOOOVE these things but never knew what they were called! Found them in a supermarket in another state years ago, could never make anybody understand what I was looking for, and my soul " longeth after them," lol. Now I can order them from Amazon. Bless you!

Get yourself a good pizzelle iron and you'll never buy them again! They're amazing, fresh from the iron. You can even curl them as you take them off and they'll harden that way ... Instant cannoli shells!

Find a local FOOD PANTRY. Do make sure they can accept them- that's one thing they ALWAYS want if they have the ability to store them. And they'll usually give you cartons to replace the ones you brought the eggs in.

OR … SELL sell sell - once you get a couple regular (week or every other week) customers everything is pretty easy. Look on craigslist to see what eggs are going for - and note that you may have to own a state-regulated scale to sell them.

I read this entire post an am surprised no one mentioned using excess eggs in the garden! Last year I dropped two unbroken eggs into each hole before I planted my tomatoes. I had a record breaking, bumper crop of the sweetest most beautiful tomatoes!
Another idea not mentioned...target practice!,, lol... BB guns are great for this. And the stress relief is awesome!

I never thought of targets - good idea!! but I think a little bigger would even be more fun. I'm trying to decide which to try first, .45 long Colt?, .17HMR?, .223?, .250 Savage?, 30-06?, 12 ga shotgun?

Crack and lightly scramble and freeze in zip lock baggies in portions sizes you desire. Lay them flat to freeze. Once frozen you can stack the baggies very neatly in your freezer.

Don't knock it 'til you try it, they're delicious in small quantities. Just don't inhale as you eat them as they're stinky. Not something I'd ever consider trying to recreate at home though, as the eggs need to be packed in clay and who knows what else, for the process to happen.

You can make Tea Eggs which are beautiful and delicious and/or put them in ramen or Udon.

It's not painting, exactly. It's a wax resist technique, like batik. You use a tool most typically called a kistka to write with melted wax all over what you want to stay white, then it goes into a light colored dye bath - say yellow - then after drying you write on anything you want to stay yellow, then the next bath, etc, all the way up to the darkest - red, or black, most often. Then after that dries, you melt the wax - can do it in an oven, or often you hold part of it in the side of a candle flame until the wax melts, then rub the wax off with a cloth or paper towel, until the whole egg is exposed.

one of my most precious possessions is a pysanky egg. A client gave it to me years ago and I still treasure it!

I usually use this recipe, but I use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce because I like the flavor more. They're delicious!

Idk, in the winter when mine freeze they crack open.

We never have to many eggs. We use them for dog food.

You wouldn't freeze them in their shells. You would have to crack them into a ziplock bag or other freezer safe container and freeze them that way.
