This past weekend was crazy to say the least. In addition to celebrating the resurrection of our
Lord and Savior! hubby’s family celebrates half of the birthdays for the year. This adds up to one crazy Easter weekend with
present wrapping, food prep, and general hustle and bustle. This year I also decided to make the deviled
eggs for our get-together… at least next time it won’t be so bad…J Deviled eggs go quickly in this family and
since it’s a fairly big family that means lots of eggs. If only they hadn't failed! After hard boiling about 32 eggs (and only 8
of them being usable after peeling) I was pretty discouraged. I have never had so much trouble peeling hard
boiled eggs! So, after some
consultations with those much wiser than me, I found two tried and true methods
that worked. The first: (works best on an
electric stove)bring water to a boil,add eggs,boil 5-10 mins, turn off burner and let sit until water is completely calm, give eggs a cold bath and
peel. The second: steam eggs for 20-25
min, give a cold bath, peel. Both of
these worked much better for meJ I also had some fun and dyed the eggsJ
Well, the emotional part of this weekend consisted of one of
my brother-in-laws being missing for over 48 hrs. He works as a long-haul trucker and had his
truck stolen. Thankfully he was safe,but
those were a few days of roller-coaster emotions. He finally got a hold of the family Easter
morning and we were actually able to enjoy our Easter/birthday celebration!
Hope you all had a great weekend celebrating our Risen Lord!
