Pre-Easter 2020
Well, one thing is for sure....being stuck at home for Easter just isn't the same. Technically, it's not Easter yet-but about this time we'd be texting back and forth with family - planning a fun egg hunt with the kiddos and all the yummy food we'd be sharing together.
This year, during this pandemic, we are stuck at home (safer at home) just like everyone else in the WORLD basically. It's hard to get supplies right now, every time we go to the grocery store they are out of basic things we are used to having easily-like eggs. I gave up only SIX for this little experiment. I say experiment because we didn't' have "egg dye" from the store-we used food dye that we use to color cakes and icings. Worked perfectly though, and it's probably the same stuff just in a tablet form. I didn't do the research on that-so don't quote me.
I used 1/2 cup of warm tap water in five different cups (wine glasses-don't judge) did about 20 drops of food coloring-and 1/2 tablespoon of white vinegar. Then we just dropped in those lovely boiled eggs and waited a few minutes. Oh, did I mention we did one PURPLE? We had to add two different colors to make that......that's very technical!
We are beyond pleased with our final product.....and to prove how happy we were-Olivia and I danced around the kitchen (and living room) to some Kid Rock.
