Shells Only
- Sometimes I'll make an egg salad. But I've also blown out the contents of the raw eggs, which causes my kids great amusement while I turn a steady shade of purple in doing so.

We Play the Same Game as Nancy
- My daughter always looks forward to the red eggs at Easter. We make so many red eggs that we have a really large bottle of red food coloring.

Deviled Eggs in the Old Days
- Our kids are grown now, and we don't have grandkids yet, so we don't color eggs. When they were little, we'd make Spanish style deviled eggs with tuna, tomato sauce, egg yolk and mayo. Yum!

Potato Salad
- I remember my mom always made a batch of potato salad and added the eggs.

Easter Eggs ... We Eat Them
- Well the chocolate ones. Otherwise we enjoy colouring and easter egg hunts, such fun.

Eat them!
- Sometimes, after coloring them, I make bread dolls with the kids. You nestle a colored hard-cooked egg in a swath of dough and braid the end. It's pretty and easy. And, believe it or not, the egg is still tasty after being baked! There'e a green sulphur ring around the yolk, but it doesn't affect the taste.

Not a fan of hard-boiled eggs...
- I'm ashamed to say that in late April, I usually end up throwing away most of a carton of uneaten Easter eggs, because I just am not a fan of hard-boiled eggs! This year I hope to be better about eating them, and to find a really great egg-salad recipe, or maybe to use them up in salads and crumbled over asparagus.

We play a game
- In Greece, it's tradition to play a game with our (red) Easter eggs - tapping the end against another's egg to see who can come away with an uncracked egg. The person whose egg doesn't crack is assured of an extra measure of good fortune! We go through 100s of eggs!

Riddles and Fun
- We(aka the Easter Bunny) usually hide the finished eggs before our boys wake up. We give them a note with clues to the locations of the eggs. They race around the house gathering up eggs and answering the riddles, until the last one is solved, leading them to their filled baskets. Two things that remain constant about our Easter mornings, year after year: we always have a great time, and we ALWAYS forget to make egg salad with the eggs until it's too late and they've spoiled.
