easter eggs 2008

[mellowtigger]

They did not turn out as well this year as in previous years. I think it's because I focused on vegetables this time instead of herbs.  I had another full tray of eggs that didn't take the color of their vegetables at all.  I know that in the past I had pale greens and reds and other interesting colors. Wish I could remember which herbs those were.  Ah, well. A good excuse to experiment every year. :)



Those are (back tray, left to right) yellow onion, red onion, blueberry, and beet. And (front tray, left to right) turmeric, basil, cloves, and more beets but with vinegar. Here's the full gallery of each type individually.

Interesting. Some guy posted in Erik's post about referring to *his* post where he talked about Eastern European method of using red wine and lots of salt to dye eggs. They came out kind of chocolate brown looking.

In other news I watched the "ape genius" thing you posted earlier. It was fascinating! Thanks for the link.
