How do you know if your eggs are fresh?

Place an egg at the bottom of a glass full of water and watch what happens:
If the egg lies at the bottom on its side, it's fresh.
If the egg sinks, but with one end up, it's getting old but is still edible.
If the egg floats at all, you should buy some fresh ones.

*Always check the expiration date on the side of the carton...I bought eggs at Trader Joe's once and they were to expire that day! So check, check, check! Especially if you are shopping at Trader Joe's...it's not the first time I have encountered expired product on their shelves!
