Golden and Noble Works


“A wife too should regard her duties in the same light, as she suckles the child, rocks and bathes it, and cares for it in other ways; and as she busies herself with other duties and renders help and obedience to her husband. These are truly golden and noble works."
Martin Luther

Easter Eggs, the natural way from Kathy - Part 1

Kathy is coloring her Easter eggs using the "natural" method this year. She's letting us watch the process and providing updates as she can!

Kathy writes:


This year, the Feusse's decided to color Easter Eggs using all natural products.  So, you can tell from the picture, I am going to use Tumeric (yellow)  I could have used Cumin too, but choose Tumeric.  The grape juice concentrate with very little water added is supposed to be blue, with more water added, purple.  Spinach obviously will be green, beets hopefully will be pink, cherries will be red...and the most interesting one was yellow onion skins made orange.  Now, I am using words like "hopefully" and "supposed to" because the red, pink, blue and purple all look the same to me...so I am hoping that they will be different on the eggs tomorrow.  I will let you know how it turns out.

The onion skins pre-cooking

the beets


the cherries

we eat range free, brown eggs...so I hope the color will be dark enough to show up over the brown egg.


the spinach after being cooked completely down.


straining what I thought was grape "gunk" for lack of a better word...which actually need up being sugar...ick!!


from left to right: green, yellow, orange, pink, red, blue and purple (see the last 4 do look a like)


 Hoping for 7 colors, not 4.
