EASTER EGG DECOR

- April 15, 2014

I enjoyed dyeing eggs for Easter
as much as my boys did.I told my
boys that the Easter celebrations
was more than the egg coloring,
the egg hunt, and the baskets
of candy. I told them that many
years ago the hard boiled egg
had a special meaning.The hard
shell of the egg represented the
tomb Jesus was buried in. The
cracking of the egg was about
Jesus' resurrection. The church
used to dye the eggs red to be
a symbol the blood of Jesus.

In the past I used vinegar and
bottles of food coloring. There
are many methods for coloring
eggs available now. Check out
some these methods:

New method for boiling eggs:

Gently place fresh eggs in a pot
of cold water. Completely cover
the eggs with water. Cook them
over medium high heat. Add 1/8
tsp salt to the water and place lid
on the pot. When the water starts
to boil, turn off the heat. Let the
eggs stay in the covered pot for
10 minutes. Be Safe: Keep eggs
in refrigerator.

Egg test:

Whirl it fast on a table. If it
turns fast, it is hard boiled.
