What to do

with the chicken eggs?

They arrived at the convents to pay the land rent .
The egg whites were used to iron the habits, and the yolks?
For they were joined by the gift of the nuns, sugar
of the colonies and the flavor of each region - figs, almonds, gila, sweet potatoes, walnuts, oranges, and divine specialties were created that enchanted kings, inspired poets, won fame and their place in History
and Portuguese Life.
