The Easter Parade: Part I

This first post of Annie's Easter escapades really doesn't have that much to do with Annie, per se. I just wanted to show off Jay's brilliant natural egg dying technique. He saw this when we had Easter dinner with some friends when we lived in Durham, one of whom is Romanian and used to do this as a kid. You take white eggs, put them in a sleeve of cut up pantyhose and tie both ends as tight as possible to the parsley or other herbs you also stuck in with the egg, so that they are pushed up as close as possible to the egg's surface. Then you boil them for about 10 minutes with a lot of skins from red onions and voila! Here are the results. We hope in the future Annie will want to take a more active role in their creation, but for now, she was fine just checking in on Papa's progress every now and again and deciding she was craving a scrambled egg.
We did these for Annie's moms' group's egg hunt gathering we had today. Annie was a champion hunter and there's more about that and I'm sure more Easter fun (as the actual day arrives) coming soon!
