Red cabbage

I bought a red cabbage to use to try to dye an egg blue when I was doing my blue month - failed miserably. However, I did find it an interesting view when I chopped it in half.
They make good abstracts. Red onions are also interesting in the same way.

How were you going to use the red cabbage to make the egg blue? I'm intrigued to know.

@gailmmeek I found a blue egg cup in the cupboard and decided a nice, easy picture for my blue month would be a blue egg in the egg cup. If you boil the cabbage and add white wine vinegar and then leave the egg in the mixture it does turn blue but I could not get it to coat evenly - it just looked blotchy (in a bad way). It worked much better than the blue food colouring though.
