….. I thought about this poem when I saw a recipe for a perfect Deviled Egg.
If one likes boiled eggs, it is the easiest of all foods to jazz up. Whether one egg or 1000 the directions are the same.
Boil the egg. Remove the shell. Cut it in half. Remove the yolk. Place the boiled egg white on a plate. You can buy an egg plate at walmart.
Mash the yolk with a fork very well. Add to taste: mayo, or salad dressing, salt, and pepper. Mix it, stuff it in the empty egg white, and dust the top with a little paprika. Eat it hot or cold. It doesn't matter. (I personally like Light Miracle Whip.)
What does matter is knowing that mayo and salad dressings can quickly become rancid in the summer; it will make you sick. If you are going to take it to a picnic keep it cool. A plate in a closed cooler with a little ice is all you need. The eggs will disappear before the ice melts.
One of the directions I read said to put the egg mixture in a zip bag and cut out a corner. Here is an old decorators trick that is easier and cheaper.
Tear off a piece of waxed paper. Roll it into a cone shape. Fill it with the yolk mixture and cut off the tip of he cone. Throw the paper away when you're done.
Believe it or not the waxed paper cone can be used to decorate cakes. All you need is the metal tip and frosting.
Life is too short to obsess over the perfect size zip bag. If you are going to make a large quantity of these eggs, in the long run it is smarter to buy a pastry bag. It will wash and dry very nicely, and last a long time.

Why I Don't Llke Spam
Once upon a time I thought this was a pretty good business network. I not longer have this opinion since I now receive SPAM from this company every day. It started about a month ago.
Linkedin claims I know their customers. I am not in business, and if I was it would not be near that social network.
Spammers are sneaky. One message began in Novelty, OH and sent to a company in WI before it was sent to Linkedin and then sent to Hotmail with a URL to a Canadian Pharmacy that was generated in India and send through Walgreen's hacked mail servers so I could read it in Illinois.
This is global economy at work. I would say if I was dumb enough to order from the company in Canada I would never receive it.
Buyer beware!
I don't click on ads either. It is not because I resnt the few pennies the hosting company gets. I don't want the "cookie" that follow me an report to an unknown third person which which sites I visit.
I learned this lesson the hard way. I clicked on an insurance ad well over a year ago. I still receive ads in email and in every website I visit even though all insurance companies were removed from my cashe and users files.
It is something to thing about before you click that link.
