Jenn took a picture! I'll post it when she mails it to me.

Grape juice came out grayish, which the girls loved, so that's sorta a win. The house reeked.

Red onion skins and yellow onion skins came out in two different shades of deep brown, but Ana threw a tantrum as they boiled and I overdid the eggs.

Turmeric came out a gorgeous yellow.

Paprika came out a light orange brown.

Cabbage DID come out blue - after we took the eggs out. I kept wondering why they weren't blueing, apparently they needed to sit a bit.

Beets came out red, but we seem to have lost them? That's a bit worrying.

Spinach didn't come out. What can I do for green next year?

And we didn't do coffee or tea because I got bored.

I'd meant to do that fancy thing where you tie them up in pantyhose with grass and flowers to leave an imprint, but we didn't HAVE any used pantyhose and could only get them at exorbitant prices, so this year I'll keep an eye out for sales and stock up for the next few months.

Still, I didn't do anything as crazy as this. You have GOT to check that out!

I've never tried dying eggshell, but in medieval cookery spinach and parsley were the standard way of getting green
