Oh, thanks for the wonderful suggestions everybody.
I think lemon curd for presents for my broke self sounds like a great idea. Already had plans for a gruyere/spinach quiche. Anyone remember "Eggs a la Goldenrod" from the old Betty Crocker cookbooks? White sauce with hardboiled eggs over toast with sieved yolks on top. I was fascinated with this dish when I was a kid and made it. but don't really remember it. That sounds like a good plan with some good bread, maybe with some curry added to it. As far as the pound cake, do any of you think you already have the "Ne Plus Ultra" version? I adore the "Million Dollar Pound Cake" recipe and although I have made the truer ones with even more eggs I never find one I love quite as much.
