Pooooo-weeee the stink of onions boiling away in my house. Reminds me of my childhood visits to my grans house where she would cook onions in white sauce...smells gross, tastes GOOD.
I am boiling red onions, and avocado skin and a pit for a Science experiment on natural dyes. Hopefully the students are surprised by the dye colours they produce?
I'll also do a red cabbage dye and then change the colour using an alkaline and acid.
Kitchen science is such FUN.

ReplyDeleteI am a facilitator working in schools like Mr Margetts. I am working with Te Kōhure in Roscommon School.
Dying using natural things is lots of fun. Do you salt as a mordant, to keep the colour in the fabric?
Ngā mihi,
