Yesterday, I told Micca - the Chemist, Morgan - the Grandson and I were going to dye easter eggs this morning after boiling them last night. He asked what we used for colours and I told him just the usual dye kits we get at the store which one mixes with water and vinegar. He told me if I boiled them in water with onion skins, they would turn a lovely shade of yellow. We did two of them that way; had very little skin available but it worked! They are a beautiful yellow. Now, I am wondering if the purple skinned onions would do the same yet turn out purple. I intend to find out. What fun!

Thanks, Micca!
