Blowin' Eggs

    I was taught the art of Easter egg-blowing - that is, blowing the yolk from eggs so that the shells can be dyed -  many years ago by my Hungarian mother-in-law,  who was an expert at it.  She could make the tiniest, practically invisible pinprick in either end of a raw egg and by blowing through one pinprick, force every bit of the insides of the egg out the other pinprick.
       I, on the other hand, have never mastered my my mother-in-law's finesse, either in the tiny hole-making or the egg-blowing.  As you see, my holes look like little craters.

     Happily, no one's ever minded, 

​...and, stored in a carton, these Easter eggs will last forever.

     Or until somebody drops one.

     How To Blow Eggs:
    1.  Rinse off a raw egg.
    2. Using a metal skewer (my preferred tool) or a sharp knife, poke a hole in either end of the egg.

    3.   Pick off any loose pieces of shell, then, holding the egg over a bowl, blow through one of the holes.

     4.  Wash,  rinse, and dry the egg shells, which are now ready to decorate.

      As for the eggs blown from their shells, you can make scrambled eggs.
