Yes. Lucky for you, people may be in danger.

If you can stand it for tonight, turn the main water off and see if it makes a difference overnight. (I'd guess to open faucets to drain the lines so no standing water in them, but I'm making this up, not expertise talking. Google'd be a better expert.)

I am intrigued by this frozen fruit souffle, Consuela.
It's in Mark Bittman's "How to Cook Everything".
Puree a bunch of fruit, preferably something without a lot of seeds (if it has seeds you have to strain it). 3 cups of berries, the recipe said (I used 2 cartons of strawberries). Separate 3 eggs. Mix the yolks with 3/4 cup of sugar, until it's light and falls off the beaters in ribbons. Mix the pureed fruit in with the yolk mixture, set aside.
Whip the egg whites with 1/4 cup of sugar until it forms glossy firm peaks. (bom-chicka-wow) Very carefully and slowly fold the meringue into the yolk-fruit mixture.
Whip 2 cups of heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks. (ahem). Even more carefully fold it into the rest of it.
Put the entire thing into the freezer. Eat after several hours, or the next day. It will have not quite the texture of ice cream, but it's really flavorful.

Mmmm, that is full of stuff I like, a must to try.

I have learned the ways of the frozen breakfast burrito, and lo, it is yummy. Made a batch of 4 to bring to work this week so I don't have to buy breakfast on my way in.

What a good idea! Is there anything tricky about them?

Nothing at all! I followed this recipe and used turkey bacon so they wouldn't be greasy. I was worried the eggs would be rubbery after reheating them, but they turned out great.
I wish I could persuade the kids to eat them because they are SO SO easy and after they come out of the freezer there is ZERO cleanup (other than tossing the paper towel).

Excellent! I've been afraid to try freezing and reheating eggs, I needed a testimonial that it's okay.

My sister does that. She uses the southwestern style eggbeaters to make it super easy and flavorful. Tasty.
