They killed a lot of chickens around here just because they were exposed to this disease. When I last bought eggs (5/7), extra-large were 79 cents a dozen. That still isn't cheap (cheep? :-) ), but it's better than over a dollar a dozen. On another note (getting back to the original question), I use extra egg yolks in bread. I imagine you can always toss an extra yolk into your scrambled eggs. Beth Katz {seismo,allegra}!umcp-cs!beth
