Thinking back, my grandmother use to freeze extra eggs. She would crack them open into a freezing container (Not Tupperware or ziplock bag) and then pull them out when she needed an egg or several for cakes, batter, etc.
I use to remember as a child, when unexpected folks would stop by, she would send me down to the freezer to get frozen eggs, butter, and some frozen berry (Blueberry, raspberry, or strawberry, etc) that she had picked previously.
She then would whip up a basic pound cake for desert. She would heat up half the berry (s) I brought up and keep the other whole. When it was time for desert she would slice the pound cake, pour a spoon full or 2 of the heated/broke-down berry component over a slice and then put a few now room temp uncooked berry's over the top with a dab of fresh whipped up heavy cream or a dusting of X-sugar on top. (Nice run on sentence)
My grandmother LOVED guests coming by unexpected EXCEPT Sundays. In her mind, Sunday was for family or invited guests only. She was a funny duck.
