Deviled Eggs

THE NIGHT BEFORE EASTER I boiled 12 eggs in a deep pan of water with the water covering the raw eggs by an inch or two.  Covered the pan with a lid and brought to a boil over medium heat.  

Allow water to come to a boil and bubble for 8 minutes.  Turn heat source off.  Remove from heat.  

With a slotted spoon transfer the eggs into a bowl of iced water.  Let cool in iced water for about 30 minutes.  Peel the eggs and rinse under cold water then store boiled eggs in plastic baggy overnight.


Next morning I gathered items needed.  Sliced the boiled eggs into two 
parts dumping the yolks into a different bowl while placing the cut egg whites on a decorated glass egg dish.

Stir yoke until crumbly. Sprinkle salt, pepper and about a Tbsp. of sugar into crumbled yolk.  Add Tbsp. of white vinegar to mixture.  Stir well with fork.



In a cup 
mix together 1/4th cup mayonnaise 

with tsp. of yellow mustard 

then add to yolk mixture.  

Stir well.

Looks almost like frosting!

Place mayo-yolk mixture into plastic baggy.  

Snip corner off tip of bag making a pastry bag.  Squeeze yolk mixture out to fill egg white halves with yolk mixture.  
Sprinkle pepper or paprika on top of egg.  
Refrigerate Deviled Eggs at least an hour before serving.

The eggs tasted just fine and there were none left.

My GO-TO dish for Holidays and family gatherings is Deviled Eggs.  Over the years I have tried various ways to prepare boiled eggs in hopes of finding the method I like best.  This way this time was alright, but was concerned that I would over cook the eggs by going off and leaving the eggs on the range over cooking in the boiling water.  OOPS forgot about the eggs boiling.

I prefer placing the eggs into the water, bringing the water to a boil then turning the heat off allowing the eggs to finish cooking in the hot water for 12 minutes.  Next time, if I can remember, I will bring eggs to a boil then take off heat source and allow the eggs to continue cooking in hot water for 12 minutes THEN place the boiled eggs into a bowl of iced chilled water for 30 minutes.  Rinse and peel.  If time doesn't allow the peeling right then an there I will place them into a baggy place in the fridge overnight and go from there.

Delicious,

3 Kids and Easter

David, Debbie and me...
Mom had us cleaned up for Easter.
She always took care of us and saw to it that we were presentable.
Dad was taken care of as well.
A very detailed Lady.
She'd look lovely.
She'd polish our shoes every evening and I do mean polish them with shoe polish. 
Clean and ready to go for the next day.
House was small but oh so tidy.
Every morning she'd make the bed.
Prepare Breakfast and do the dishes.
Truly a VIRTUOUS WOMAN.
Truly,

DAY AFTER EASTER

EASTER was a lovely day with family.  WALKING IN THE NEWNESS OF LIFE WITH THE RESURRECTED LORD.  The Lord's day.  

Deviled Eggs, a Relish Tray and Celery Sticks with cheese were created especially for the special gathering.

MONDAY came quietly with rain.  I WOKE UP fairly early and got around.  Needed to go to Manhattan's QUEST DIAGNOSTIC for lab work.  Was needing to TSH checked and A1C.  I was the only one in the waiting room when I arrived.  The technician was extremely good.

Off I went to call HUBBY and see if he wanted to do LUNCH.  We ate at a little Mexican Restaurant chatting and eating tamales covered with red sauce.  Beans and rice are pretty much a staple to the side after chips and salsa come to the table.  Aqua/water quenched my thirst.  A little chilly in the restaurant.

Afterwards, I drove to the Kansas State University GARDENS to see if the Irises were starting to bud out.  Will check back in a week.  Lilac bushes are in full bloom and wondered if the Lilac bush we have at RETIREMENT COTTAGE was in bloom.  Before going to the cottage I would treat myself to a hot tall WHITE CHOCOLATE MOCHA.  

Laundromat awaits me where I planned to wash old baby blankets and keepsake children's clothing with WOOLITE.  The Mat was empty so I had access to the television channels in which I watched the HOME GARDEN CHANNEL where remodeling was going on.  When the machines were done I packed up the wet items knowing that I was going to use the cottage's dryer.  The drive was so pleasant in beautiful weather and scenery that it was a very pleasant drive to the cottage.

I began drying the blankets and took a nap after thumbing through a new BETTER HOMES AND GARDENS magazine.  I spent the afternoon doing laundry.  Before going home, I clipped some Lilac blooms to place in a crystal vase.  

Pizza for supper and a movie.  
Busy day for an old woman like me,
d 

The costumes were impressive and the story line interesting.  The 1994 movie STARGATE kept my interest.  Like a new movie to me as I couldn't remember the story.  duh....  

In modern-day Egypt, professor Daniel Jackson (James Spader) teams up with retired Army Col. Jack O'Neil (Kurt Russell) to unlock the code of an interstellar gateway to an ancient Egypt-like world. They arrive on a planet ruled by the despotic Ra (Jaye Davidson), who holds the key to the Earth travelers' safe return. Now, in order to escape from their intergalactic purgatory, Jackson and O'Neil must convince the planet's people that Ra must be overthrown.
