Easter is not far off, and there’s
a good chance the kitchen will
be splattered with-Easter Egg
dyes and colors, busy little fing
ers will be blue and purple and
orange all at the same time. On

recipe for pickled eggs and
beets? It was surprising to move
into this country from a farm
and for the first time in years
