Red Eggs

Every year for Greek Easter we dye a bunch of eggs a deep red.
This year i was given the task and decided to kind of figure it out on my own,
here's what I did:


Put eggs in a pan of 3 cups cold water and 3 Tbsp vinegar enough to cover the eggs.
Brought the water to a full boil over high heat.
Removed from heat and added 6 Tbsp of Scarlet Rit Dye
Covered and let sit for 15 minutes.


I removed the eggs and placed them on a paper plate, letting them cool for a few minutes.
Then I wiped each egg with olive oil and placed in an egg container for Greek Easter dinner.

Egg Salad

With all the eggs around from Easter I tried my hand at my own egg salad recipe.
Steve really likes 7-11's simple egg salad so we tried to reproduce that as best we could.
Of course we ended up with our own version.


8 hard boiled eggs
1/3 c Miracle Whip
< 1/3 c. Ken's Steak House Honey Mustard
1/2 tsp garlic powder
< 1/2 tsp onion powder
