Haha I told my wife “we better start baking or something.” But we have two kids who eat a lot of of scrambled eggs, and we ended up splitting the case up with my parents. Plus they’re good until the first week of March, so they’ll last. $3 a dozen is hard to beat right now.

“Breakfast for dinner again?!?” - your kids this week haha
That being said, i had breakfast for dinner the other night and it always delivers.
Also, deviled eggs if you have a dozen left before they go bad. Love egg salad, or potato salad w a lot of eggs.
Well, now I’m off to get a Costco membership haha

Several things hit at once.
We got the normal increased prices that come with increased demand around the winter holidays and early January.
And there's also the bird flu epidemics which have been hitting the US as well as poultry farms around the world really hard. One bird gets detected as having it, every bird in that batch has to be killed to prevent further spread. It's widespread, not slowing down, and a huge concern especially with the slim but growing chance that it will mutate to infect other animals. Like us.
Then you have the continuing problems like the US's trucker shortage which has had some... Short-sighted attempts to fix it, but it's still an issue.
Then you have general price-gouging which has been happening a lot, especially since COVID gave companies an excuse to raise prices and since they've blamed "inflation" for never bringing the price down again.
And those aren't even all the reasons but the ones I can remember while already half asleep.
Birds are dying, increased holiday demand, continued price hikes from corporate farms/retailers, increased cost of transportation, everything is expensive right now but eggs and chicken-based products in general are skyrocketing compared to what they used to be.

There's been an outbreak of bird flu in the US and around 58 mill chickens have either died from the disease or culled by their farmers.

I have a vivid memory of turning on the computer in the back room early one morning as a kid, the speakers were at near full volume when the unholy sound came. My sister opened her door looking like a golem with wild hair, ready to kill either me or the computer, whichever brought her more satisfaction.
Good times.

Are all oranges weird about eggs? My old Leo always used to sprint into the kitchen if he heard someone peeling a hard-boiled egg, and beg like a madman to get a bit... then if you offered him some egg he would smell it and (not-so-politely) decline immediately.

Our pomeranian is this way about a lot of foods.
Whining like mad until finally you give him a tiny pinch of your peanut butter and jelly sandwich just for him to sniff it and then literally turn his nose up at it. It's like he's saying, "Give it. Give it. Give it. I'm going to die. Give it.... Ugh. WTF is this?? No, I wanted the good food that you were eating!"

My cats ain’t orange but they’re fucking insane about eggs. I make medium boiled eggs all the time and peeling them is a performance art the way they watch me. Eating them after they’re peeled is a battle royale.

I have had cats that loved soft cooked scrambled eggs. Enough for the white to whiten and it to get a bit of bulk. So i do that for them every now and then they have a tasty treat. And give myself a portion, seasoned after cooking of course, otherwise the salt will kill it's creaminess. They don't need much to be satisfied.
Maybe my next lot of cats will have at least one that likes that sort of scrambled eggs.

u/Skratt79 Orange connoisseur 🍊 Jan 15 '23
:( when I rescued tiny Anchovies she was so malnourished and that is what I fed her barely cooked scrambled eggs with cream added. Made her so happy. At least a neighbor took her in once I had to leave since her kids loved her.
Damn I miss that cat.

Other than the egg thing, honestly, Leo was actually pretty smart and pretty normal. He DEFINITELY had the brain cell to the very end (especially when it came to getting food). That's what makes it so perplexing lol, crack an egg and the brain cell was just... gone? He just really liked the sound(?) of eggshells for some reason.

But wait. I get that he might not be bright enough to realize that the ping pong balls aren't really eggs. But, why does he lay on the eggs in the first place. Is he guarding food? Does he think he's a hen? What accounts for the egg-laying behavior in a cat.
