A bunch of good eggs

February 23, 2009

The reality of feeding 8 people is starting to dawn on Julie and I, even though 2 of those people are still REALLY little and 4 are very young as well.  This morning I made scrambled eggs and it was the first time that I’ve made eggs for the babies as well.  So this is the “before” picture:

And this is the “after” picture:

I used a full dozen and a half of eggs to get every one fed.  Only it didn’t feed everyone.  To this we added a roll with strawberry jam for each person as well.  And we made one of those giant-size orange juices, which was gone after one serving for everyone.  After dishing all the eggs and getting everyone their rolls, I finally sat down to eat, just in time to hear Logan say, “Mow eggs pweese!”

This could get really bad.  They’re not even teenagers yet.  I know how much I ate when I was a teenager and thinking of the future makes me a bit nervous.  Ten years from now, we’ll have 4 teenagers and 2 11-year old tweens, all of whom will be very hungry at mealtime.  So take my advice — if you’re looking for a good investment to ride out the next few bad economic years, you may want to buy futures in eggs.
