You and I have a very similar diet, actually.
I would have eggs set aside just to hard boil en masse. Fresh eggs are a bitch to peel... I would let them age a couple weeks and when I had an oversupply, it was time to make pickled eggs or egg salad with soybean oil free mayonnaise.
Sounds like it should be a crime to call that mayonnaise
