As most of you know, my standard answer for the infamous question "Do you like Holland?" is usually "yes, parts of it I love, parts of it are well, different." Well, we encountered another "different."
Every year, we dye Easter eggs, as most families traditionally do. I bought two boxes of egg dye, one Paas and one Dudley at Target when we were back a few weeks ago. I wasnt sure if they had egg dye here. Well, it turns out they do. But, they also only have BROWN eggs in this country. I figured the kids wouldnt notice the difference and crossed my fingers that the dye took color on the eggs. It did. But, it was, yet again...Different.
Pink dye+ brown egg = pea green egg.
Blue dye + brown egg = pea green egg.
Green dye + brown egg = dark pea green egg.
Yellow dye + brown egg = sort of orange egg.
You see the pattern....
It was fun and messy. We had a lot of laughs and will remember this Easter for years and years to come!
