Devil of a Wednesday, But With a Winner!
I’m digging back into the picture archives this week. Way, way back actually to the first round of Project Spectrum back in 2006! That was the project that really sparked my love of photography and began developing my skills, so these aren’t the best photos you’ve seen around these parts, but not too shabby for being 5 years old.
I’m on day 6 of intermittent nausea and it is taking its toll on me in a variety of ways - most markedly the lack of desire to cook with lack of energy coming in at a close second. With the Easter holiday on the horizon though my mind always jumps to the thought of deviled eggs. They are not something that shows up at our house often as I’m the only one who eats them, but I do enjoy them.
A month or two ago I made some deviled eggs to bring to Monday night knitting when our eggs had piled 3 cartons high (we get a dozen delivered each week with our 1/2 gallon of milk). I did them a touch bit differently this time. Growing up it was always Miracle Whip and mustard mixed with the yokes, usually in roughly equal proportion. Sometimes we put in finely minced onion. For this version I did just a touch of Greek yogurt and much more Gulden’s Spicy Brown Mustard - just enough for the yokes to be moist. Then I added about 1/4-1/2 teaspoon of ground sumac for 6 yolks. I blended some smoked paprika with some aleppo pepper to sprinkle on top for some added punch in flavor and color. It was a subtle change, but it seemed to produce a bit deeper flavor profile. It also lowered the fat and sugar a fair bit too which is always a bonus in my book.
Did your family have deviled eggs at Easter? What is your quintessential Easter indulgence?
