The incredible, edible Easter egg: Wrap an egg (or many) of any color in layers of red onion skin (easier when skin is wet), wrap egg in aluminum foil, boil in salted water with a splash of vinegar for fourteen minutes. Run under cold water until cool enough to handle, unwrap, admire the cool patterns, then refrigerate until ready to eat.

Yesterday we started our greenhouse in Ripton (it's smaller & thus more efficient in the beginning). The onions that i started inside last week sprouted today! The photo to the left shows the auto vents just opening, while the wood stove heats the greenhouse. Yes, those are our skis drying after a "spring" ski this morning.

Below the greenhouse is a photo of two satisfied cookie customers (in our recycled plastic lawn furniture - - made in the usa)!
