"Tony Fassio's chickens surely didn't know laying eggs would make them philanthropists. But so it was this morning as 65,000 eggs from his farm and others were delivered to the Utah Food Bank to help feed the state's poor."

"A coalition of Utah egg farmers joined together to give 65,000 eggs to the Utah Food Bank Thursday.

But eggs are a crucial component of holiday baking. They bind ingredients together in quiches and pies. They thicken sauces and give structure to cookies and cake batter. A beaten egg brushed on pastries gives a gloss that protects against sogginess. Whipped egg whites give meringue and souffles their fluffy height."
