>>> WE ARE READY. WE'RE PREPPING FOR EASTER.
WELCOME TO TONIGHT WITH
CASSIDY.
CASSIDY.
CASSIDY. HAPPY THURSDAY, OR AS WE LIKE
TO CALL IT, FRIDAY EVE.
WE'RE GETTING READY FOR EASTER
WEEKEND, IN ONE OF THE BEST
WAYS.
WAYS.
WAYS. DECORATING EASTER EGGS.
WE HAVE SHANNON TO SHOW US A
FEW NATURAL EGG DYING
TECHNIQUES.
TECHNIQUES. I WILL SAY, I CANNOT REMEMBER
THE LAST TIME I HAVE EVER DYED
EASTER EGGS, OR EVEN DONE AN
EASTER EGG HUNT.
>> THIS WAS MORE FUN TO COME UP
WITH THE MORE NATURAL WAYS,
BECAUSE IT ALSO DOESN'T STAIN
YOUR CLOTHES AND YOUR FINGERS,
AND YOUR COUNTERS.
>> YEAH, YOU HAVE A WHITE
SHIRT.
SHIRT.
SHIRT. >>
SHIRT. >> I DID NOT THINK THIS
THROUGH, BUT THIS IS GOOD.
>> WHAT KIND OF THINGS ARE WE
DYEING WITH?
DYEING WITH? >> YOU CAN USE EVERYTHING FROM
BEATS, WHICH IS WHAT THIS ONE
IS DIED WITH.
AND JUST STRAIGHT UP CABBAGE.
JUST REGULAR CABBAGE MAKES THE
MOST PURPLY BLUE COLOR.
THEN WE DID KALE, AND SOME
TUMERIC ONES.
TUMERIC ONES. >> NATE WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME
YOU HAD AN EASTER EGG HUNT?
>> I WAS JUST TALKING ABOUT
THIS WITH CLAUDIA.
I WAS A LITTLE TINY KID.
>> AND STILL ARE.
>> CLAUDIA WHEN WAS THE LAST
TIME YOU WENT ON AN EASTER EGG
HUNT, OR DYED EASTER EGGS?
>> I DID THE MAGIC OF TV.
THIS IS ACTUALLY JUST BEETS,
BOILED IN WATER, THEN YOU
STRAIN THE WATER OUT, AND YOU
USE IT TO COLOR THE EASTER
EGGS, AND YOU EAT THE BEETS.
>> I WAS GOING TO SAY, THEN,
CAN YOU JUST EAT THE BEETS?
>> YOU PUT A LITTLE VINEGAR IN,
JUST A SET COLOR.
THAT'S TO MAKE THE EGG SHELL
STAY ON IT A LITTLE BETTER.
THEN YOU HARD BOIL YOUR EGGS.
REGULAR STANDARD WHITE EGGS.
>> IT WOULD BE A LITTLE SAD IF
WE LEARNED WE DIDN'T HARD BOIL
THE EGG.
THE EGG.
THE EGG. >> I ACTUALLY LET THAT HAPPEN
BEFORE, AND YOU CRACK IT TO
MAKE EGG SALAD SANDWICHES AND
YOU'RE REALLY DISAPPOINTED.
>> IN MY FAMILY, WE HAVEN'T
DONE AN EASTER EGG HUNT IN A
LONG TIME, ESPECIALLY WITH REAL
EGGS, BECAUSE MY COUSIN CAME
AND MOVED THE SHAMPOO BOTTLE IN
THE SHOWER, AND THERE WAS AN
EGG BEHIND IT.
>> YOU HAVE TO COUNT THEM.
>> YEAH, WE COULDN'T FIND IT.
>> THEY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT
WHICH ONE THEY DIDN'T GET.
>> THE EASTER BUNNY FORGOT
WHERE HE OR SHE HID THE EGG.
>> YOU KNOW WHERE IS A GOOD
HIDING SPOT?
HIDING SPOT? >> IN GUEST BATHROOM.
>> THIS ONE WITH BEET JUICE.
SETTING IT LONGER, LIKE
OVERNIGHT, OR ALL DAY LONG WILL
SET THE COLOR A LITTLE DEEPER.
BUT THESE GUYS, EVEN JUST A
LITTLE BIT OF TIME IN THERE,
IT'S PRETTY VIBRANT.
IT'S PRETTY COOL.
THEN THIS ONE IS JUST TOMB
RICK.
RICK.
RICK. SO
RICK. SO IT'S THE MOST POTENT COLOR
OF SPICE, I THINK.
BUT CHILI POWDER WILL WORK, IT
WILL ALSO DYE THINGS.
>> JUST MIX WITH WATER, AND
SOME VINEGAR.
SOME VINEGAR. >> AMEND YOU JUST BOIL IT
TOGETHER AND LET IT SIT
OVERNIGHT.
OVERNIGHT. THE OTHER COOL THING YOU CAN DO
IS WITH THE HARD BOILED EGGS,
YOU CAN PUT THEM IN THERE WITH
A CRACKED SHELL.
>> LOOK AT THAT.
>> THEN IF YOU WANT TO GET
SUPER FANCY, IT SHOULD TRANSFER
THE COLOR TO THE ACTUAL EGG
ITSELF.
ITSELF.
ITSELF. AND COME OUT LIKE A TIE DYED
COLOR.
COLOR.
COLOR. SO
COLOR. SO YOU CAN MAKE IT SUPER FANCY.
>> YOU CAN BE THE STAR OF
EASTER DINNER WITH THAT.
>> AND IT'S EDIBLE.
IT'S A NONTOXIC, PLANT DERIVED.
SO THE TUMERIC DOES A BRIGHT
YELLOW, AND THE CABBAGE DOES A
WEIRD THING.
WEIRD THING. YOU WOULD THINK IT WOULD MAKE
IT SOLID PURPLE, IT ACTUALLY
MAKES IT MORE LIKE A BLUE.
LOOK AT THAT.
>> AND THAT WAS JUST A WHITE
EGG.
EGG.
EGG. >>
EGG. >> THAT WAS EXACTLY THE SAME
EGGS AS THOSE GUYS.
>> SOME OF YOUR FARM FRESH EGGS
OVER HERE ARE KIND OF BLUE TO
START OFF WITH.
>> THAT CAME OUT OF A CHICKEN?
>> YEAH.
>> YEAH.
>> YEAH. MY SWEET LITTLE BIRDS.
THESE ARE THE NATURE COLORS.
I CAN'T EVEN COMPETE WITH THAT.
IT'S JUST GORGEOUS.
>> WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT
HAVING OUR OWN EGG CONTEST.
THERE'S ANOTHER YOU WANT TO
TALK ABOUT THIS WEEKEND.
>> FARMINGTON GARDENS HAS AN
EASTER EGG HUNT, AND IT'S
OUTDOOR, WHICH IS PRETTY COOL,
BECAUSE THE WEATHER IS GOING TO
BE NICE.
BE NICE.
BE NICE. THEY HAVE AN EASTER BUNNY, BUT
HE'S SUPER APPROACHABLE.
I LIKE IT BECAUSE IT'S ACTUALLY
VERY SPECIAL NEEDS FRIENDLY.
MY SON IS AUTISTIC, AND HE'S
KIND OF NOT GOOD AT WAITING IN
LINES, DOESN'T LIKE BEING
APPROACHED BY BIG FLUFFY
CREATURES.
CREATURES. THOSE KIDS HAVE A LITTLE BIT
MORE TIME, A LITTLE EXTRA
ATTENTION.
ATTENTION. SO IT'S A VERY SPECIAL NEEDS
FRIENDLY EASTER EGG HUNT, AND
IT'S TOTALLY FREE.
>> THAT IS FREE FOR YOU.
THERE YOU GO.
THIS ONE MATCHES YOUR OUTFIT,
AND THAT ONE MATCHES MY PANTS.
>> THEY ALL
