I know huevos rancheros, and a few others are classics, but I didn't know they used so many of them. Did eggs become a main source of protein, with the high price of meats? Seems beans would have increased a lot, instead of eggs, though eggs are more of a "complete food".

I have four days to find out how to cook it.

Darn I'm on my last sack I need to get more onions.
Then I go to the garage to get two potatoes and there are two more unopened sacks of onions.
I almost had a nervous breakdown thinking I was almost out of onions.

When I was a kid my mom would send me to get onions.
The darn things were stored in the barn in hay almost a quarter mile away.
In the winter it meant I had to go after dark and there were vampires out.
But by darn I gotta get them onions so off I would go.
Tracking through the snow.
With a sack.
Looking behind my back.
For vampires.
During a full moon.
All I saw was a fat raccoon.
Looking back.
At my onions in a sack.

Jellies and jams are scarce too. The good old standby for mom's and kids as well as the poor is hardly found on our shelves these days. My daughter can't find her blackberry jam so I found one jar for her stocking this year.
