This evening I set about making some hard boiled eggs. Most people would call them "Easter Eggs", but those of you that have spent lunchtime with me over the past few years know that died eggs show up year round.The box of egg dye comes with nine colors, three of which do not require vinegar to fully dissolve. These three colors are quite nice: strawberry, pink, and purple. The dye pellets are divided into two pouches, one with three, the other with six. I naturally assumed that the pack of three contained strawberry, pink, and purple. Not so. It has brown, green, and some other color I haven't tried.
Brown? Really? They sell brown eggs at the market, why would I pay money for a dye pellet and then invest time in dying an egg when I can purchase in a pack of a dozen? I am pretty pleased with how they turned out; I have three mini-footballs. However, I would have been even more pleased if they were one of the other colors in the dye box.
On a different note, I have been working for the past three weeks. Upon starting, I commented to Aaron that my unemployed days were filled with Sponge Bob and Rachel Ray and that I was unlikely to encounter such cheerful and optimistic people at work. Unfortunately I was right. However, the job is temporary so I'll be back to days filled with Sponge Bob and Patrick Star at the end of May.
