#239 The Case of Devilled Eggs

I like my Devilled Eggs devilish (thus the chilli pepper flakes)! How about you?

Devilled Eggs

6 extra large or jumbo eggs, hard-boiled and shelled
1 tablespoon mustard
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/4 teaspoon curry powder
pepper
chilli pepper flakes

Slice the eggs in two, lengthwise, wiping off your knife between cuts to keep egg edges clean.

Separate the yolks from the whites—setting the whites on your serving dish and dropping the yolks into a small bowl.

Mash/whip the yolks gradually with the mustard, mayonnaise, curry powder and pepper to taste until you have a light, creamy and smooth paste.

Fill a piping bag with your yolk filling and pipe it into your white "boats".

Sprinkle with chilli pepper flakes to taste.

Makes 12 Devilled Eggs.

PS Sure, Devilled Eggs can be made ahead. Store your white "boats" upside down on a clean cloth, to absorb moisture, in a sealed container, in the fridge. Store your yolk filling in the piping bag, in the fridge. Assemble just before serving.

The Case of Vegetarian Detective in Italy

B uon giorno!   I feel like a snob saying, "I'm just back from Italy." That's me: jetsetter. Yeah, right!   But wow...Italy!   I could talk up a storm, and I surely will as I adjust to being back here, six time zones from magnificent Italia . I often ask people who've just travelled what was their favourite part of their trip. If I ask the same of myself, my answer is seeing Michelangelo's sculptures. His Pietà and The Statue of David literally moved me to tears. I just can't believe I saw "him" in person!   So...our plane from Toronto was delayed six hours and we missed the first day of activities, but we still visited Rome, Montecatini, Siena, San Gimignano, Pisa, Vinci, Florence, Cinque Terre and Assisi. Quite the agenda for ten days, including the two flight days, wouldn't you say? But Trafalgar made it work. I would go on a Trafalgar trip again in a heartbeat.   Things I learned in Italy:   In the regions we ...
