Guest guest Posted April 2, 2003 Report Share Posted April 2, 2003 Get Ready For Easter And Passover *** Easter and Passover Preparation Planning for Easter and Passover starts early! Here are some tips for your Seder preparation or your Easter parties. * To Dye For. Eggs you buy in the grocery store usually have a fine coating of oil on them to make them look glossy and help preserve them. However, this coating also prevents the shells from taking dye to their fullest extent. To remove the coating, gently wash your eggs in warm water and dish soap before dyeing them, and you'll have the most brilliantly hued Easter treasures you've ever laid eyes on! If you're using the eggs in a hunt, never hide cracked eggs, and don't leave the eggs out of refrigeration for more than two hours. To be completely safe, fill plastic eggs with candy and toys and hide those instead. * Bake a Basket. Bake a batch of cupcakes and let the kids custom-decorate them like Easter baskets. Adorn the baskets with speckled candy eggs, jellybeans, gummy bunnies, and dyed green coconut " grass. " Make handles for the baskets out of pipe cleaners. To dye coconut, place it in a large plastic bag and add a few drops of food coloring. Close the bag, making sure to trap a large amount of air inside it. Hold it tightly shut and shake vigorously until the coconut has achieved even coloring. Add more coloring if you like, until you've got the perfect shade. ===== *********** My Special Thought To You: There's A Blessin' In Pressin'....On The Upward Way!
