Hi Jim,

I had them for the first time when I visited Steve in NC over
Thanksgiving, 1974, my senior year of college. He suggested mixing them

only has a few (usually 8) packets so I don't worry about having to eat
a whole lot to use up the box/bag/whatever. Besides the eggs, I like to
mix cheese in with them, as well as salt & pepper.
