They usually got made into deviled eggs or put in potato salad. We always did the dying a day or two before but they never were part of the egg hunt. My family only used the plastic ones for that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stupid-question-what-do-you-do-after-dyeing-easter-eggs#post-107386 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 21:11:54 +0000 Grace 107386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We'd have to find them right after church and then they were part of the Easter brunch. We used food colouring on them, so they were safe to eat. And usually it's just smears of colour on the inside, the whole egg didn't turn red or anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stupid-question-what-do-you-do-after-dyeing-easter-eggs#post-107216 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 19:31:06 +0000 ecogirl 107216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We dye them together the night before and then Liam has to search the house for his Easter basket. Once he finds the basket he gets to go outside to find his eggs that we hid. :) If you use a natural dye kit they are fine to eat. Mostly I just eat them all though. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stupid-question-what-do-you-do-after-dyeing-easter-eggs#post-107203 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 19:26:25 +0000 owlmom 107203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We always ate them too. My parents never hid the real eggs that we dyed, though. They hid plastic eggs with candy inside :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stupid-question-what-do-you-do-after-dyeing-easter-eggs#post-107178 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 19:13:30 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 107178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I eat them. I have no children or young family members near by but I still dye a carton of eggs and then eat them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stupid-question-what-do-you-do-after-dyeing-easter-eggs#post-107079 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 17:53:42 +0000 chopsuey 107079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used to eat them! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stupid-question-what-do-you-do-after-dyeing-easter-eggs#post-107063 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 17:38:39 +0000 littlebug 107063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, we definitely ate them. You're dying the shell, not the egg itself. And I'm pretty sure when we did it, it was like vinegar and food coloring - nothing too harmful. My parents would hide them around the house before we woke up and then we would hunt the eggs and then get our Easter baskets. In our house, the Easter Bunny was like Santa - he came at night, while we were sleeping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stupid-question-what-do-you-do-after-dyeing-easter-eggs#post-107060 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 17:36:00 +0000 heffalump 107060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pelikila: Thank you, I knew I wasn't the only egg eater!</p> <p>@Andrea: Lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stupid-question-what-do-you-do-after-dyeing-easter-eggs#post-107058 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 17:34:56 +0000 Andrea 107058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: gross!! the red ones look like bloodshot eyeballs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stupid-question-what-do-you-do-after-dyeing-easter-eggs#post-107057 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 17:34:25 +0000 pelikila 107057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents always hid them right before we went on the hunt in the early morning. Once we gather them all, they go back in the fridge and we do sliced eggs on toast with a white cream sauce on top for breakfast. Yum! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stupid-question-what-do-you-do-after-dyeing-easter-eggs#post-107056 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 17:34:03 +0000 heffalump 107056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: I feel like it has to be safe to eat. Am I really the only one who eats them? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stupid-question-what-do-you-do-after-dyeing-easter-eggs#post-107055 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 17:33:24 +0000 heffalump 107055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: Yeah it does. It is kind of gross looking. But there is an egg dying technique that's supposed to do that. <a href="http://www.barefootkitchenwitch.com/the_barefoot_kitchen_witc/2009/04/coloring-eggs.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.barefootkitchenwitch.com/the_barefoot_kitchen_witc/2009/04/coloring-eggs.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stupid-question-what-do-you-do-after-dyeing-easter-eggs#post-107053 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 17:32:21 +0000 sorrycharlie 107053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: well to be fair, we were super picky eaters (still am). but yeah, my mom was skeeved from the dye (my sister likes eggs and isn't allowed to eat 'em). I never knew people did! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stupid-question-what-do-you-do-after-dyeing-easter-eggs#post-107049 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 17:29:49 +0000 Andrea 107049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: i think i got a dyed egg once as a kid and i was too grossed out to eat it. doesn't all the dye get on egg itself too? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stupid-question-what-do-you-do-after-dyeing-easter-eggs#post-107045 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 17:27:07 +0000 heffalump 107045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: Really? I always thought people ate them. On Pinterest there's a lot of egg dying ideas that just don't seem edible.... now I'm understanding why. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stupid-question-what-do-you-do-after-dyeing-easter-eggs#post-107042 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 17:25:46 +0000 sorrycharlie 107042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>lol..growing up we just put them on a little egg holder and then tossed them after easter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stupid-question-what-do-you-do-after-dyeing-easter-eggs#post-107035 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 17:22:54 +0000 Andrea 107035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: haha. I only bought 1 carton of eggs so I was thinking I'd be able to find all the eggs -- or tell her where they are! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stupid-question-what-do-you-do-after-dyeing-easter-eggs#post-107033 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 17:21:41 +0000 heffalump 107033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lol, I'm Jewish so I don't have a clue. We use our eggs on the passover table and then eat them. I'd be scared to hide them because if she doesn't find them all it would get smelly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stupid-question-what-do-you-do-after-dyeing-easter-eggs#post-107030 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 17:20:18 +0000 Andrea 107030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have never done this before...so dyeing the eggs is presumably a fun activity ... what do you after? Eat the eggs? Hide them around the yard for the LO to find? </p>
