eggs and excuses.


for over two weeks now i have been battling some spring illness. all energy has gone towards the recovery effort. kitchen activity has been limited to soups and teas.  as for easter, i managed to make some hard boiled eggs.
m. and i dyed the eggs with spices, berries, veggies, and more!

i am anxious to get back to baking. creating. living.


natural dyes
yellow-turmeric
red-beets
blue-blueberries
orange-cayenne
brown-coffee
lavender-red cabbage
gold-onion peels

place your desired coloring in boiling water (and boil if the ingredient is fresh).  drain, cool, and add a few tablespoons of vinegar.  the longer you leave the eggs, the deeper the colors.
