seriouselypeople cooktooooomuch for easteri ate to much, and now im dead

[KellieCM]

that would be why the grim reaper appears to be following you...I actually didn't do anything for Easter. We aren't big church-type people in my house (my partner moreso than me, although neither of us went yesterday) and with it being just the two of us in our small apartment, it didn't seem right to cook a giant meal. We boiled some eggs and had a frozen California Pizza Kitchen pizza for dinner. If I were going to cook though, I would have made a ham with some roasted asparagus and probably a potato gratin. :)

Our family has always taken the Easter holiday as a rite of spring. Thirty five years ago the large extended family would gather at Tilden Park in the Berkley hills for a picnic. The first one in 1970 was interupted by a small earthquake (2.5 right in the park) and was hence known as Grandma's Fault Picnic. The usual picnic foods were Ham, Yams, artichokes and loads of Deviled eggs. THis year the foods are the same, but families have moved and children married. Unfortunately some members have departed for the hereafter and many missing due to military deployments. We have now begun using this event to remember those who are missing and asking the powers to be for protection for those who are deployed. Thankfully none have been touched by tragedy and we all ask for more continued blessings. We all make of the holiday what we wish to be our own special traditions and pass them on to our respective families. Christian holidays don't have to be celebrated in church and real happiness resides in being with ones loved ones. I hope everyone was able to enjoy themselves in whatever way they think is their way to honor the event.

That's totally a great way to celebrate. And Deviled Eggs (with paprika) are the best. :)

I am on a diet + I'm transitioning from a vegetarian to a vegan diet so I didn't eat anything 'spectacularly Easter' this year. My mom brought home some (Chinese I think) duck eggs boiled and wrapped in this red paper. As far as food goes I was rather upset I couldn't go to Subway due to it being closed for Easter. I just try my best to not get upset over the whole 'egg' thing and let my family/people around me have a good holiday.

Kellie: We all love deviled eggs. With a group of 30 who attend our picnic, we have to have a couple hundred or so. When I make them, I have to make two batches. One for the picnic itself and another to hide so I'll have some for myself. The first batch seldom even makes it to the table intact. The only problem is the amount of incense required the next day.

[KellieCM]

I've found that everyone makes them a little differently. What's your recipe?

[mjd420nova]

Based on 6 whole eggs (12 halves) 6 hard boiled eggs 3 table spoons mayo or salad dressing 1 table spoon sugar 1 tea spoon mustard 1 tea spoon vinegar Salt and pepper to taste Paprika Some preferences allowed: Brown sugar can be substituted mayo can be low fat, non-fat or salad dressing of choice mustard can be honey mustard, grey poupon or what ever vinegar can be white, malt or wine 20 grain or diluted to 20 grain Optional items can be: sweet pickle relish honey Should be refrigerated immediately. Good luck

[KellieCM]

sugar.. that's interesting. I am pro-paprika and anti-pickle relish. Also staunchly pro-mayo and anti-miracle whip/"salad dressing". This is one of those things that there are about a million recipes for, so I'm always interested to see how other people do it. Thanks for sharing!

Cadbury Creme Eggs. That's all the Easter food I need :D

[KellieCM]

omg those are my favorite ever. I forgot to stock up on them... they are impossible to find after Easter.

[KellieCM]

We don't have a Target in SF (boo hoo) but I might take a trip to one this weekend to see if there are any left. I looked in two grocery stores, and no luck. They have all the other eggs (caramel, etc) but I'm loyal to the creme.I have some of the Whopper eggs at home, but haven't broken into them yet.

[mjd420nova]
