 Hope you're doing well, Tina! Haven't seen you around in a while and just wanted to stop by your port to check in. Hopefully we see you around soon! Take care  |
| Does anyone want or need a temporary husband?? My very "helpful" husband is all too willing to help me with my Easter cooking. So far he's swiped and "taste tested" four of my deviled eggs....that is four WHOLE eggs, or 8 halves. He's eaten half an apple I was peeling and slicing for a crumble, and some how I've "lost" three cookies...I swear I made a dozen...but he swears I didn't... With all his kind, loving help, I'll never get Easter Dinner prepared! Well, I'll be doing good to get half of it on the serving table. So....anyone out there want a temp husband who can come help YOU with your cooking?? I'm willing to share! |

Happy Birthday To You! 
Happy Birthday 
In this case, the adjective "deviled" has a (somewhat) secular meaning — the word "devil" is just a culinary term that is used to describe a highly seasoned dish.
To devil means to "combine a food with various hot or spicy seasonings such as red pepper, mustard, or Tabasco sauce, thereby creating a 'deviled' dish," according to the Food Lover's Companion, the definitive guide to all things food and cooking.
The term likely comes from the connection between spiciness and the presumably hot temperatures in hell.
Since the word "devil" does have negative connotations, though, some groups of people prefer to call the dish "stuffed eggs," "salad eggs," or "dressed eggs."
Growing up, Mom and my Grandmother always made ham, potato salad, baked beans, mac and cheese, fried okra, and deviled eggs. Mom always made carrot cake and Grandma always made some sort of fruit pie.
Another tradition is/was to put at least one silver dollar or gold dollar in a plastic egg to hide...the other eggs had candy in them...but whoever found the eggs with the dollars got an extra treat. You don't see those types of coins much any more. I was telling my nephew about this, and he asked me "what is a coin"....I felt OLD...lol Happy Easter!
Is there anybody to serve the purpose?
