Easter 2012

I just wanted to share with everyone a little discovery I made.  This year I was so "last minute" when it came to preparing for Easter.  Sadly, I waited too late to make cascarones, so we opted for traditional Easter eggs.

I picked up the only Easter egg dye kit they had left at the store.  After we boiled our eggs and were ready to start dyeing them, I realized I did not have vinegar!  The last thing I wanted to do was drive back to the store and re-enter Easter madness (everyone running around the store for last minute supplies).

I started thinking....   ((watch out folks!))

Vinegar is acidic.  What do I have that is acidic??  I know!
LEMONS!

I substituted vinegar with lemon juice and our eggs came out just fine.  I'll remember this next year.  I hate the smell of vinegar, so it was a win win situation!

Happy Easter!
