The Secret Lives of Eggs

Yup. Them's some funny lookin' eggs.

The wise and wonderful Julia Child once told us, "It behooves us to choose eggs carefully and treat them right." Eggs are so vital to the culinary arts, it's said that there are a hundred folds in the chefs' toque to represent all the ways a master chef can prepare an egg.

People of all occupations have honored eggs as symbols of fertility and renewal for millennia, and the American Egg Board has been trying (for just about that long) to convince us all of the bountiful benefits of the "Incredible, Edible Egg."

Egg-worship now reaches a new level, thanks to Iloveegg — a site that brings us eggs as superheroes, sports stars, cheerleaders, cowboys and astronauts. The "egg song" is a long download, even on a fast line, but it's just the ticket when you get that irresistable itch to see dancing, singing, morphing eggs in all their multifaceted glory.
