TIPSY TUESDAY

MORNING EVERYONE

I can see the sun poking through them there clouds.. Let it shine , let it shine, let it shine....Today going to finish off a track order then head down to Victoria to meet Grumpy and do some more stuff at Grammas place...Should get a big chunk of it done today.. We are having our family up for Sunday dinner as it is Grumpys birthday so looking forward to that just trying to figure out what to cook... Might do steaks on the barbacue if the weather is nice.

In bowl, whisk eggs with milk; pour over broccoli mixture. Cover and cook over medium-low heat until bottom and side are firm but top is still slightly runny, about 7 minutes.

HOW TO COLOUR EGGS WITHOUT THE SILLY KIT...

In a bowl (not metal) pour in enought water and white distilled vinegar to cover the eggs. For pastel colors use one cup of water to 1 tablespoon of vinegar. (Intensify the color by reducing the amount of water used or leaving the eggs in the dye for longer periods of time.) Using basic food coloring, mix your own shade in the water and vinegar. Be sure the food coloring is completely blended so there are no "stains" on the eggs. Carefully submerge hard cooked eggs in the color bath, rotating frequently, until of desired intensity

EGG COLOURING TIPS

For an easy tie dyed look, wrap the egg with rubber bands before coloring.
Take a candle or other piece of wax and draw whatever you fancy on the egg-- the dye will not be absorbed by the wax.
Mix some offbeat colors. Or use a very strong solution of dye and leave the eggs in it for a long while-- a deeply colored egg is gorgeous.
Let kids decorate the eggs. Set some eggs aside that will not be eaten, collect odds and ends from house and garden, provide glue sticks, and let the little ones put Fabergé to shame

For those of you who do no know what Faberge means...they are jeweled Russian eggs.

I know this is a bit of a craft but I thought since we were getting closer to Easter we would use it as a tip...Hope you enjoyed the joke LOL

Enjoy

Cheers
