Challenge Your Family Members to an Egg-Cracking Contest

We have all dyed Easter eggs the traditional way with store bought
food colors. This year try something different using your leftover
onionskins. That's right! No need to buy anything. So easy to make.
Just put the discarded skins from yellow onions into a pot of water
with your eggs, and voila! You will have beautiful and uniquely colored
eggs that you can use in your egg-cracking contest, another Armenian
tradition. This would also be a special way to commemorate the 100th
anniversary of the Armenian genocide.
The recipe and egg-cracking instructions are included in my new
children's book, Mariam's Easter Parade. In this light-hearted story,
Mariam might be too small to help with the Easter preparations,
but she is clever enough to celebrate with her own special parade!
The book is based on grandmother's life in "the old country." Easter
is a major holiday for the Armenia people. Not only do they celebrate
their Christian religion, but they also mark the occasion with food,
festivities, and egg-fighting contests.
To obtain the recipe and pictures, please write to
[email protected]. Mariam's Easter Parade is available on
Amazon.com as well as many independent books stores.
