Eggs, Paper Towels, We’ll Dye Anything
April 7, 2007
Eggs were a dollar a dozen at the store yesterday, so we flat did some dyeing last night.
At one point, David held up the paper towel he had been using to rub on his eggs and pointed out how much like tie dye it looked. Well, you can imagine where that led:
It’s a lot faster than tie dyeing a shirt.
You can decorate your door with it.
And you end up with some trippy wrapping paper.
This was our best batch–these eggs were abandoned in the dye cups when Hubbo showed up with barbecue from Whitt’s. If you leave eggs to steep for two hours, they look like a bunch of factory-reject billiard balls.
Tonight the weather’s going to be in the low 20s. The Easter Bunny absolutely does not function outside when it’s below freezing. Maybe he’ll come down the chimney like Santa.
Happy Easter, everybody!
