Roasted Chick Peas/Garbanzos?
I saw a recipe a while back on here for roasted chick peas, but can't find it. Does anyone have one? I bought a can to try it out. Also, how do you store them? If they go in the fridge, do they stay crunchy? Thanks!

Extra Large Eggs
I bought extra large eggs by mistake instead of the large eggs. Something doesn't seem right. According to the database: Eggs - White only, raw - 1 large = 17 cal but Generic - Extra Large Egg White - 1 egg white = 35 cal How can that be when a whole large egg is 70 calories, and a whole extra large egg is 80 calories???…
