I'd think the egg is used to act as an emulsifier. I don't think bananas are an emulsifier? Are they? Would make sense you'd need something that will force water and oil to mix when making Brownies....Hrmm, I wonder if those oil/vinegar dressings that never need shaken contain raw eggs. I will have to look.

BUT, Brains are an emulsifier! Well thats one reason why you use them to tan hides, LOL


By no means should you use brains in brownies though, LOL

http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=emulsion


It is the action of forcing 2 unattracted substances to mix. But you must add a 3rd substance which has special enzymes to allow the 2 previous compounds to blend. Like in the salad dressing, something is in them that makes them stay mixxed.. Try this, or imagine it: Oil and vinegar in a jar, shake, notice it doesn't stay mixxed, add an egg, shake, notice the mixture remains mixxed. Making an emulsion.

ok i couldn't take it had to do the research:
emulsifier:  n : a surface-active agent that promotes the formation of an emulsion

hmm. uh, yea, like that really clears things up.

so here we go:
e·mul·sion (-mlshn)
n. A suspension of small globules of one liquid in a second liquid with which the first will not mix.
OMG I'm out.  Time to watch the Colbert Report

Milton Erickson who talks about "prescribing the problem". One of his clients was a 24 year-old man who couldn't get into the Army because he wet the bed every night between 4 and 5 am. Milton simply had him set the alarm clock for 3 am, stand in his own bed, and PEE
DELIBERATELY all over his clean bed for a week. The problem disappeared
completely. It teaches your mind/body that you have control.

I'm always afraid to take anything like that. I want to be fully aware if I need to be. Once a couple years ago, we flew to Las Vegas (my first flight). I cried the whole trip both ways. People always say,"well I'd just take Xanax and have a drink". Doesn't that make you feel out of control at all? I mean if I had to protect myself, I wanna know I would. There's just some things I wouldn't wanna sleep through. Does that stuff make you feel oblivious? I've never tried anything like that.
