I've been researching, or surfing the net if you prefer.

White eggs are hard to find in New Zealand and I've been asked how to dye brown eggs for Easter. Tricky.

Eventually, after much reading and looking at pictures of coloured eggs, I found a great article from Australia.

I like the effect and the fact that it's so easy to do. You probably have everything required at home.

In 2011 egg dishes took out 2 of the top 5 breakfast selections AND eggs were ingredients in the other 3.

Like it or not there's a bit of fun in Halloween.

We've made some monster like eyes from hardboiled eggs.

We used eggs and what ever was in the cupboard to make these little treats for Halloween.

Gherkins, carrot, tomato, baked beans, brocolli, paprika, capers and tomato sauce all played supporting roles.

I don't think Weta Work Shop will be calling soon BUT these were really quick and a lot of fun to make.

I'm at The Hawke's Bay Show 19-21 October.

We had a heap of fun here last year in all sorts of egg based activities.
