Hard-cooked 36 eggs day before yesterday. Chilled them in ice water
until cold (like 20 minutes) and divided them into 3 groups. Rolled them
gently on the countertop to crack the shells slightly and put them into
3 different coloring solutions overnight.
1) tea
2) beet juice
3) puree of basil (thinned with rice vinegar)

Yesterday, I took them out of the coloring solutions, rinsed them and
rolled them on the counter to crack the shells a bit more. Divided each
group in half and put them into different color solutions. So 6 eggs
done with tea went into the beet juice and 6 went into the basil, etc..

Switched them all that way. Today, took them out of the coloring
solutions, rinsed them and peeled the whole bunch. They look like pieces
of marble. Grained and veined like egg-shapes carved from exotic rocks.
Only slight flavor effects. Brought them to a friend's house for a
party. Maybe 20 people. Eggs all gone. Did some dips - mostly variations
on salad dressings - for the eggs. Good food.

They really did look cool.
