Deviled Eggs..so it starts

Deviled Eggs..so it starts Well, here we are hours away from heading to Kansas to visit relatives there and already the 'stuff' starts. It all started out so harmlessly but has evolved into a pre-thanksgiving nightmare. Deviled Eggs. Now, as easy as it seems to make deviled eggs, it somehow gets jacked up during the holidays. I never thought you could mess these up but, you can. A few years ago, my sister made deviled eggs. Volunteering this task was gracious on her behalf and we let her. That is, until we saw them. Atop the eggs where "designs" that she made out of TWIGS!! That's right, TWIGS!! Small branches of trees that spelled out each person's initials for whom was to get which eggs. Some with food coloring, some with sprinkled sugar--that's right sugar--some with them little silver balls on them, but ALL with twigs on them. Since that incident, she has been off deviled egg duty and passed on to stuffing duty. This year, after us being so completely satisfied with eating good deviled eggs, she announces that she will do them this year because she hasn't done them in a while. This of course ensues into a big family argument that results in menus being fucked up, relatives threatening not coming and parents who will not "expose their to such bad eggs". End result...she will make the eggs and we will stuff them down her mouth to eat while we secretly sneak the good stash hidden away in the garage refrigerator. By the way, those of you who DON'T know how to make Deviled Eggs..here's an easy recipe for you! Items Needed: (for 12 Deviled Eggs) 6 hard boiled Eggs (large) 3 tablespoons mayonnaise or salad dressing 1 teaspoon mustard (honey mustard is great!) 1 teaspoon vinegar (or you can use 3 tablespoons of DILL relish) salt & pepper to taste paprika (optional) To boil eggs, place eggs in enough cold water to cover completely, bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Reduce heat to a lower MEDIUM BOIL and cook an additional 12 minutes. Promptly chill eggs so yolks stay bright yellow. Remove shells from eggs, and halve lengthwise with a knife. Carefully remove the yolks, and place in a medium bowl. Mash yolks with a fork, and add remaining ingredients. Very carefully spoon mixture back into the egg white halves. Garnish with a light sprinkling of paprika (optional). Enjoy!  |

A little tip - take a push pin and poke a small hole in the top (narrow portion) if the egg before dropping into water. It centers the yoke and also makes it very easy to peel. Another tip - don't do like I did the first time I helped make them. When my wife said to toss them around in the pan to crack the shells -- do so gently! I destroyed them by shaking the pan too hard. Oops!
