Lost in Laundry

It's Shiny Purple Translucent Plastic. And it makes me happy.

Tuesday, November 18, 2008

I don't remember my mom making deviled eggs much when I was growing up.

But someone always brought them to our family reunions and to Thanksgiving gatherings. (Actually, I just called every weekend gathering at the lake a "family reunion", because I didn't know what else to call it. In elementary school and Jr. High I didn't know anyone else who camped out at the lake for half the weekends in the summer with 30 of their relatives. There was plenty of water-skiing and coolers full of Shasta, so my friends all loved to come join the family. Good times!)

So now when I use my Shiny Purple Translucent Plastic deviled egg holder once or twice a year to make deviled eggs, I think of my extended family and it makes me happy.

My Shiny Purple Translucent Plastic deviled egg holder doesn't exactly scream "classy", and they probably don't sell these at Williams-Sonoma. (Dollar General. $3 bucks.)

But then again, "classy" was probably out of reach for me when I licked clean the bowl of deviled egg filling. Yum.

erika chapman had this to say:: Okay this is super dumb since I am from the South but what is your recipe for deviled eggs? Everyone acts like you should just "know" how to make them but I don't and I love them and I want to know how. Humor me, new friend?
