5 dozen eggs lasts my wife and i 3 weeks at the most.  we love breakfast for any meal and we do lots of cooking from scratch(for health, not snobbiness).

I just ate a tasty scrambled egg sandwich.

Whoa, do these kids today think that cooking from scratch is snobby?

My wife is bad at checking the fridge and pantry before she makes the shopping list, so some weeks I'll get three cartons of chicken broth and then come home to find five already in the pantry and no place to put the new ones.

Last weekend it was like that, but with eggs.  I bought a dozen and this was on top of the full dozen we already had, plus an open carton with six or eight eggs all up ins.  That's the kind of egg supply that leads to gratuitous egg inclusion in all meals.

She makes up for it by having me also buy bacon even if there's nothing on the weekly menu that requires bacon because she says "it doesn't feel right to not have bacon in the house."

I miss the fine beef of Ohio but the fine and plentiful pork of North Carolina is a good thing to make up for it.

Those are words to live by.  Also sausages.  Sausages are my fast food.  Grilled if it is seasonable, pan fried in inclement weather.

Bro, I don't think your wife is the person who is bad at checking the fridge and pantry.

"turbo ninja, here's a list of things i need from the store. pick them up on your way home." "you bet, mrs. ninja"

Wait, wait. What? Where are you? When did you move?

This is how it goes, except my wife kept her maiden name.

Wait, wait. What? Where are you? When did you move?

We moved from Columbus to Durham in May 2010.

Dude. Dude. We are neighbors. I live in one of the Raleigh 'burbs. How did I not know this?

Because of a problem?

I wasn't posting much then (or even less than usual, I suppose) because of the move and all the associated changes.  I was offered a relocation/promotion within my company and I took the opportunity.  My wife had been laid off from her job just a few months before, our lease in Columbus was month-to-month, and it was as good a time as any to make a new start.

We actually moved to Raleigh first and rented a condo on the north side of town for a year while my wife figured out her career situation.  She landed at Duke, so we moved to Durham in the summer of 2011 because it's easier for me to commute than it was for her.  Also it's a fun place to live.

Have you gone to see the lemurs?

Indeed it is! We have a good friend who lives in downtown Durham, they're doing lovely things with the urban renewal there.

PM me if you want to get drinks sometime.

My friends who live there simply call it "Firstmeal."  You can eat it at 10am or at 2pm and no one cares.

If it's the first meal of the day (or after your customary sleep cycle), then it's friggin' breakfast. BREAK FAST, PORTLAND.

The first meal is always breakfast and the meal after that can be either brunch or lunch depending on how poor I am that day.
