To many eggs in your life? Be creative! How about habanero pickled eggs? Chile Mayonnaise? (mayonnaise... must be the absolute most difficult word in spelling history) Recipes for pickled eggs may be found at my favorite preserving page: http://recipes.alastra.com/preserving/default.html Aren't some eggs freeze dried? I know of a cool technique used by the sailors of old involving rubbing the shells with fat and submerging them in salt water. Kept eggs fresh for months apparently. Okay, not quite fresh as you and me have come to expect, but they didn't actually move, and sure just forget about those meringues. Haven't actually tried this out myself.
