Egg whites "Just drink them!"
I have nine egg whites in my fridge, all glooped together in one bowl. Does anyone have a recipe calling for nine egg whites, or a conversion handy (for example: One whatever, cup, tea/Tablespoon equals one egg white)? Also, are they still good to go? Or will I be inflicting a Meringue plague on the nation of I attempt to use them.
Oh, and word on the street says:
A large egg white is 1 fluid oz (2 tablespoons), so 2 large egg whites would be 1/4 cup. It varies according to egg size, of course.

Alton Brown made sweet potato waffles last night using six egg whites at room temp: http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/recipe/0,1977,FOOD_9936_24960,00.html
At the time I thought, who the hell has six egg whites lying around!

Oh man, Tracy, I wish I had thought of that this morning. We even have spinach. But right now they're hanging out on the counter, so I can make pavlovas tomorrow night (Thank you for the suggestion and link, Cyndi!).
Beth, next time my friend. Next time. Thank you for the link!
Kate, it makes me think of the name of a yet-to-be-invented Birth Control, maybe European, and the commercial would feature women dancing around in soft light with sheets of rippling pink chiffon. "Pavlova: For when your Ovaries won't sit the fuck down."

Is it me, or is Pavlova the most unappealing name for a dessert ever? Always makes me think of drooling dogs...

How about mini Pavlovas? You can make 1 1/2 times this recipe:
