I never thought about this before, but should we eat eggs every day? Should we share?
 All of my life, eggs have been plentiful and cheap.  I like eggs and most days have two for breakfast.  The bird flu has caused millions of chickens to be destroyed, this eggs are in short supply.  Of course, supply and demand had driven up the price.  I went to BJs and bought my usual xtra lg eggs, two packs of 18.  Been buying them like that for many years.  36 eggs at a time.  Not long ago, they were about $^, then $8.50, then $12, and today, $18 or 50 cents an egg.
 Sure, I can afford them, but should I keep up consumption or reduce?  I happen to like blueberry pancakes and when I make a batch, I get four breakfasts from them.  I have them every other day, thus cutting egg consumption in half.  Oh, I also bought enough blueberries to make two batches.  I'll make some Sunday.
 Waffle House announced they are charging an extra 50 cents per egg until prices go down.
 

Avian flu.  People locally were literally posting pics on Nextdoor showing empty shelves where cartons of eggs would be.  There were absolutely NO eggs for sale at one Publix and the same was reported at Walmart last weekend.  And yes, Waffle House is charging a premium because egg supply is affected.  They'll probably still be able to sell waffles.  I think they use a powdered mix and add water to it.
