Easter Eggs

I love dying Easter eggs and then eating them. I use to have trouble getting them ready to dye until a 6 year old girl I met at a meeting she was attending with her grandmother taught me. She told me to get a pan that would hold the fresh eggs and then put the pan on heat and she kept telling me "You do not leave the kitchen. When they have boiled one minute you turn off the heat. Now you can leave the kitchen." When they are cooled you dye them. On TV now they advertise a basket. I guess you still would not leave the kitchen while the basket is in the boiling water. We dye the eggs in coffee cups. We write a name on each with a wax candle and use them for placecards at lunch on Easter.
