Nothing could be more appropriate this week than egg recipes. Local eggs are plentiful right now and prices in stores are going down.
The leftovers from children’s Easter baskets provide us with a supply of hard-cooked eggs to use in different ways.
If you plan to paint your Easter eggs, blow the egg out of the shell by making a tiny hole in each end of an uncooked egg with a pin and enlarge it a big, being careful not to crack the shell.
Chemicals from paints can be absorbed through the porous shell, so use only those hollow eggs if you’re unsure of the kind of paint you’re using.
Commercial dyes and vegetable food coloring are safe to use on hard-cooked eggs, and you may safely eat these eggs after peeling. Or you may want to try some natural dyes: save the peelings from red onions and boil the eggs with these until hard-cooked. Regular onion peels make a soft yellow dye. Or boil your eggs in left-over brine from pickled beets for a pretty rose color.
