The bird that lays the big ol’ eggs made it to China.

I have concluded that after you shake them up, they drain through the hole and don’t make a mess all over the skillet

Wow.

Totally off topic -- I live in rural Alabama. I was taking a side road past a little country grocery store, and there on the side of the road was an .. emu. I turned around and went up to the counter in the store and told the clerk, to see if she knew who the owner was (everyone knows everybody around here) who said the bird had been wandering around out there for a long time.

I've never shaken an ostrich over a skillet. It seems like it would be dangerous.

But if I ever do need to drain an ostrich, now I know what to do....

The only reason to drill a hole in an eggshell is to preserve the shell intact. My mother would do this to get Easter eggs to use in decorating.
