National Deviled Eggs Day

Who would have thought there was a National Deviled Eggs Day?
Happy NDED! Have a dozen for dinner.

Egg dyeing

We now have an egg dying tradition of getting out masking tape and small blades to create resist designs on our Easter eggs. We each need a very special egg with which to pacque. Phoebe and I worked on our special eggs. She chose a female Pokemon Pikachu for her design and I went with my tried and true Crawfish/Hot Sauce.


This next photo shows our eggs with the masking tape applied prior to dyeing.

After some serious bath time, my egg is sporting nice, tight outlines and a rather close color resemblence to Tabasco:

The opposite side of my egg had the bottle design. Some brush strokes with green and we're ready to hit some eggs!

I can't say enough about vinyl gloves for this activity. Too many years have seen me with nasty nails and dyed dry skin for days. As for our two champion eggs, they remain in the fridge. We still can't bring ourselves to mess them up just quite yet.

Happy Arbor Day!!!
