I saw a link to these ruby eggs in YumSugar. We have these back home in Pennsylvania, except they are called pickled eggs. They look freaky, but I like 'em. We had some for Easter dinner.
They are pretty easy to make. They are just hard boiled eggs soaked in red beet juice. That's all.
I guess "ruby eggs" sound nicer than "pickled eggs".
With Easter coming early this year, only five days after St. Patrick's Day, it poses a problem for me. Do I decorate for St. Patrick's Day? Or for Easter?
I couldn't resist things like my marshmallow peep bunny lights. So I skipped the shamrocks and went right for the Easter decorations.
I colored Easter eggs today with Aaron and my sister. I had it in my head that I wanted eggs that looked like real bird eggs. So after I dyed my eggs, I put them in a box and splatter painted them with a toothbrush and paint. I think they look cute. My dad said he has never seen a bird lay an egg like these.
As soon as I got off my redeye flight from San Fran today, I repacked my bags to go home to PA for Easter this weekend.
It's been tough planning for Easter when I have been gone for two weeks. I haven't gotten to decorate the house or color eggs. I should have at least gone online and ordered these Vosges chocolate bunnies. I love Vosges chocolate and these bunnies are too cute.
The descriptions for the different flavors are hilarious...

Hops in the pine forests near the foothills of the Popocatepetl volcanoes. Rub my belly and you'll feel my spice, Ancho and Chipotle chillies, Ceylon cinnamon, and dark chocolate. Ahreeba, Ahreeba!!"
