deviled cassie

Easter.

Chocolate candy.
Peeps.
Cadbury Eggs.
Bunny rabbits.
Baby Chicks.
Bunny rabbits who think they are baby chicks.

And most important:
Deviled Eggs.

Could there be a more perfect potluck snack? (other than greenbean caserole, which is a side item, or consequently a main course - if it so inclines you...)

I think not. Every year, as you gather around the family potluck, looking at all the wonderful foods everyone has brought. Ahhh.....
Spiral Ham!
mmmmmmm!!!
7 Layer Salad!
mmmmm!!
Potato salad.
Blech.
Pasta Salad.
Blech.
Jello Upsidedown thing with nuts in it.
Blech.
Dinner Rolls!
mmmmmm!!!!!
Potato Chips!
mmmmmm!!!!
Bean dip.
Blech.
Cole Slaw.
Blech.
Greenbean Caserole (with french cut green beans).
Okay. i love greenbean caserole, but french cut green beans? Give me a break!!! WHO likes those? i mean, you can barely pick them up on your fork, cause they've been sliced so thin! Plus who likes the French anyway?
initial blech - then mmmmmmm!!!!
coconut bunny cake.
Blech.
and finally,
Deviled Eggs!

can you think of anything more glorious to top your plate off with than a deviled egg?
The only thing i have a problem with, is that the person making the deviled eggs, only make enough to fit in that special deviled egg tray. Why? Everyone loves them. they want more than one. Do you have exactly 12 people in your family? And if so, why not make an entire dozen of deviled eggs, instead of just 6! You can always reload the tray! Cause you KNOW there is ALWAYS Uncle Terry who will take more than he is alotted. He will take 3 instead of 1 or even a daring 2. That doesn't even count the egg he eats while he's in LINE at the table! Like it doesn't count if you're in line, and it hasn't touched your plate!

Oooooooo!!! You can almost imagine the vein popping out of my head when i think of him stuffing that 4th egg in his mouth, while talking of course!!!

What worse, is when your cousin Sarah (who grandma actually BOUGHT the deviled egg plate for her for Christmas) will actually NOT make deviled eggs that year because she "didn't feel like it"!!!
Listen floosy! You got the tray! It's your FAMILY DUTY to make those suckers! And if you decide NOT to make them, you better send out an emergeny correspondence to let us know, so someone else can take over before it's too late, and you show up at Easter WITHOUT deviled eggs!!!!!

What is with these people?
No Deviled Eggs?
And Greenbean Caserole with French Cut Green Beans??

What family did i grow up with? Is the whole world going MAD??

Hemingway, i didn't do anything for Easter. i made myself pancakes and ate chinese food for dinner.
I guess i will just have to bite the bullet make deviled eggs - FOR MYSELF.

And this time, i'm making a whole dozen!!!

Here, now shut up:

Classic Deviled Eggs


Serve for any occasion, whether it be a wedding feast, a picnic in the park, or for lunch or dinner!

Items Needed: (for 12 Deviled Eggs)



6 hard boiled Eggs (large)

3 tablespoons mayonnaise or salad dressing

1 tablespoon sugar

1 teaspoon mustard (honey mustard is great!)

1 teaspoon vinegar

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!
