….. 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.

Harry Truman was the first US President I was aware of; the McCarthy hearings was my first introduction to Senate wrangling. Sadly over the years, I failed to find many members of congress, who were not racist, that were of good character. Little has changed in 60 years. Most have less morals than a slug, and even fewer love America.
Recently is was nice to revisit a place nostalgically called yesteryear when a man was willing to die for his country and defend his wife.
That was in the person of former US Senator Robert Michaels, a decorated WWII soldier, who spoke on he occasion of his 90th birthday. He reiterated his assistants included Dick Chaney, and Newt Gingrich, who chided Michel for being too cooperative with Democrats.
"A couple of times, I had to tell Newt, 'They're not our enemies, they're our political adversaries, and we treat them with respect'." Then he invited his guests to join him in singing, "God Bless America."
It seems to be we could use a little more of one and a lot less of the other.

I agree wholeheartedly. Bob was replaced by AAron Schock who was recently charged with misappropriating funds to decorate his office.
Bob was a gentleman who left big shoes to fill when he retired. Schock ain't the man to do that job. He's too self-centered to listen to the little guy, or even try to help a small school in his district that is 50 miles from his fancy house. .Posted 03-06-2015 at 11:54 PM by linicx
