A couple of weeks ago, the local grocery store had eggs on sale for $3.50 for five dozen! Usually, they are about $1.25/dozen. I use about a dozen eggs every few weeks but good grief! That is cheap so I bought them, five dozen...
Today, I finally faced the question of what to do with all those eggs. Before that purchase, I already had two dozen, so now there are seven dozen, count 'em, 84 eggs! In my fridge.
Well, you gotta know I am not much of a cook. My idea of cooking is heating up a can of something in the microwave.
I don't know what made me think of this but I decided to make pickled eggs. I have eaten maybe two of these in my lifetime but hey, why not. I found a recipe on the 'net and made 24 pickled eggs and used six for egg salad. While standing at the sink peeling them all, I thought, "This is a southern (USA) poor man's food." Those who know me would think I have finally lost my mind. Maybe so.
Next trip to the store, I'ma gonna git some grits.
The eggs, btw, sit in brine for four days. Will let you know how they turn out.
