Egg Salad

While packing my husband's lunch this morning I had cause to ponder favorite foods. "Why is it", I asked myself, "that I only make egg salad during Lent, even though it is among our favorite foods?". Laziness is part of the answer, although it is no more difficult to make egg salad sandwiches than peanut butter and jelly. But then I realized that it also the lack of foresight to boil the eggs the day before! Aha, so no egg salad without foresight. So my lack of virtues like advance planning also affects what we eat. (Well, duh! If I don't shop we don't eat...shopping is advance planning...so I'm not sure this is a good excuse. I mean, I occasionally, at least, remember to shop.) The other times we have egg salad is when my husband has a craving (in advance) for egg salad and HE boils the eggs. I never seem to advance plan my cravings either. (Although if I get one of those cravings that hangs around for days I do eventually go buy whatever it is I'm needing...Usually, its fresh baked bagels...Must stop, I'm getting hungry.)
