EASTER EGGS

The Pennsylvania Dutch introduced the Easter egg and the Easter Bunny to America. Originally they would also bake a big cookie rabbit in the act of laying an egg, until the squeamish objected.


EGG WHITE

Albumen, or egg white, makes up about 60% of an eggs weight. As an egg ages, the protein in the egg white changes and becomes thinner and more transparent. Fresh eggs sit tall and firm in the pan, and older eggs will spread out more.


EGGS, BOILED

"If you boil an egg while singing all five verses and chorus of the hymn, 'Onward Christian Soldiers.' it will be cooked perfectly when you come to Amen." (Letter to the Editor, London's 'Daily Telegraph')
