So Carin made some really cool eggs today. It's the only part of
Easter she cares about, so we bought her a bunch of eggs and some
stuff to dye them with: beets, red cabbage, yellow onions, red
onions, and blueberries. She had fun doing it, and we like the
Victorian-simplicity look that came out. She may still paint them or
something.

And tomorrow, we're obviously having egg salad, and I think I'll
google that creamed-eggs-on-toast thing we talked about last Easter.

They're lovely! I always wanted to do that.

Very nice. I did this one year after seeing my Mediterranean relatives'
efforts back in the ancestral village. They got a cool marbled effect
by wrapping the eggs in onion skins - stunning terracotta and orange
striations. I duplicated the effect by cutting up pantyhose and
rubberbanding it around the onionskin/egg concoction.

No pantyhose in the house so I didn't do it this year, but perhaps
next?

Eggs--Are you watching, Barb??

Pretty Please,

And I just posted another note with several other pics.
Note to Sarah: My talents unbounded? Hah. I'm a crappy housekeeper.
I want everything within reach, so I don't put stuff away and I've got
too much stuff to start with besides! Light a candle. Maybe a torch.
To a stick of dynomite. Ugh!

Gratefully,

Barb, you must have the patience of Job to do those eggs. They are
beautiful.

I love them! Very pretty!
I have done that for a number of years. This year I didn't dye any -
too sick to feel up to it.
