go to where they don't dye beets

on account of it's easter today, meghan and i felt it only appropriate to dye some eggs. lucky for us, our local grocer had the world's best egg dying kit ever! i was so satisfied with my product that i feel pitching a little promotion for paas eggheads is appropriate here. the gist is this - you dye the eggs and then give them little faces and hats (included in kit). hours of fun for the whole family, or just for two twenty-somethings.

here are our final products

and here is our little egg city, including business associates, jealous boyfriends and depressed inhabitants (what, it's a city - we wanted it to be life like)

and yes, that is a beatnik egg

these are the eggs attacking meghan...i told you it was hours of fun..

after our eggs got tired and told us they all had different plans tonight that didn't involve us, we realized we still had a ton of dye left. now, once upon a time, i used to think the phish song "heavy things" lyrics "go to where they hoped i'd be" actually said "go to where they don't dye beets." listen, it sounds like it. my dad and i would hear the dumb song every morning on our commute to work and it became very dear to us...maybe we'll dance to it at my wedding...

so naturally, meghan and i decided that we actual live in a place where we DO dye beets...and we did

turns out beets aren't too easy to dye. but at least our leftover egg faces looked good on them

happy easter!
