OK, forgive the cheesy title, I couldn't resist! Here's a few fun Easter egg ideas that ran in today's paper. I remember Easter eggs and PAAS coloring kits as a kid, but if you don't have one on hand, you can make do with food coloring, vinegar, and boiling water. And eggs, of course. At www.McCormick.com/Easter, somewhere in there they also provide a "color creator tool" to figure out how to get the colors you want. (Note to self to use this with cookies and cupcakes, too!) Want fancy speckled eggs? Sponge paint using drops of dye mixed with a few drops of vinegar. Tie-dye eggs? Place a hard-boiled egg in a colander in the kitchen sink. Splash the egg with vinegar, drop food coloring onto it and shake the colander gently to spread the color. Wait 30 seconds, then repeat with different colors. Wash the eggs to soften the colors and let them dry. Yes, those are jelly beans above, not Easter eggs. We haven't made any eggs so nothing to share yet. :)
