8:27 am

BzznBea

I'm still under the influence of deviled egg smell. =)

8:27 am

welki

ohhh, don't know whether that's good or bad. could be good, like well-made picnic food - or bad, like foul bedwinds

8:28 am

EvaNadine

ooh, deviled eggs.
yummo.

8:28 am

BzznBea

I don't like the smell of boiled eggs.

8:38 am

EvaNadine

welp. i just realized i forgot to turn on the crockpot before i left the house.
:|

8:39 am

BzznBea

Don't you hate that!

8:41 am

MLFAN17

I love deviled eggs

8:47 am

EvaNadine

me too, MLF.

BzznBea

I've finally got my recipe near perfect.

8:48 am

MLFAN17

8:48 am

EvaNadine

8:49 am

BzznBea

No, they are for any time you have a lot of eggs. These went to the luncheon for some men in the org. where my husband volunteers.

8:50 am

MLFAN17

8:50 am

BzznBea

I always run them under cold water while peeling.

8:50 am

NatashaW

I find if I plunge the eggs right away in an ice bath, they peel more easily

8:50 am

EvaNadine

most of the time i stay pretty classic, but once in a while i like to do a little twist.

8:50 am

MLFAN17

natasha yes that is what you are supposed to do to make them easier to peel

8:51 am

BzznBea

I love using my instant pot for boiling the eggs. that makes them easy to peel as well.

8:52 am

MLFAN17

isn't that a bit more word though?

8:52 am

EvaNadine

Bzz -- i have used mine to make boiled eggs, but i have tried deviling those yet. must try!

8:53 am

BzznBea

Not more work.

8:54 am

BzznBea

I boiled 1.5 dozen eggs in about 10 minutes.

1:03 pm

cybernan

that was Alberta not BC

1:04 pm

doseffing

no prob, aeb - it happens to me too, even though I type the word a lot.

3:49 pm

BzznBea

I know KU Jayhawks are a mascot, but it is also a name for a person born in KS, just like if you were born in NC, you are a TarHeel. Oklahomans are Sooners.

I don't think there is such a thing for VA

Will you watch the football game tonight, Carla?
