Celebrate Spring Equinox- Grill Eggs!

Ever heard of putting all your eggs in one basket? Well, my basket is the grill. Onions optional...

From Bear:

At our house, we celebrate Spring Equinox with eggs, because this is the time when chickens start laying more eggs. It's also the time we get Spring fever, so I go outside to grill. This year I combined the two, and grilled eggs. 

I learned how to do this from Steven Raichlen's Barbecue Bible. If you want to boil eggs but don't have any water, here's how:

1. Eggs on the barbee... First step, light your grill and get your coals to medium heat.

2. Poke a hole in each end of your raw eggs so they don't explode when heating (I used a thumbtack).

3. The eggs take about 15 minutes. I turn them every 3 minutes to cook them evenly. 

4. First flip is end over end, then roll, so you know you're getting all four sides for roughly the same amount of time. 

5. If your fire is hotter, turn the eggs more often, and cook for only 10 minutes. 
Don't worry if the shells start browning.

Theresa noticed I even got grill marks!
(Next I have to work on the diamond pattern.)

What can you do with these eggs?  Use them like any other boiled egg. 
Theresa posted a great deviled egg recipe on our site.

Look at what the Spring rabbit laid- purty blue eggs.

EQUINOX 
12 and 12,
Tomorrow day is longer than night,
Winter is about planning for Spring
Equinox starts the time to act on those plans,
Thank the people who share their chicken's bounty,
More eggs coming soon.
Thank a chicken.
