easter eggs - 9 apr 2012

For the past few years (2011, 2010, NOT 2009 – Year of the WHITE HOUSE EATER EGG ROLL, 2008, 2007 and certainly earlier years), we’ve used natural dyes for coloring eggs – turmeric, red cabbage, berries, beets, spinach and more.

Even though we didn’t return from spring break until Friday night, I hit the store first think Saturday morning so we could get to work on the eggs. Eggs boiling in one pot; beets, turmeric and cabbage boiling in other pots. The colors didn’t have too much time to set, but we still were able to get some pretty eggs, despite the lack in color variety.
