Evelyn's Angel Eggs
Today is my mother-in-law's birthday. Happy Birthday, Evelyn! (She won't see this unless Tammy prints it out and gives it to her, but oh, well.) She has never particularly liked to cook; her mother was such a fantastic cook that Evelyn never got to do it while growing up, and her mom was too busy to teach her. Kind of like the shoemaker whose children have no shoes. Or me, who didn't take the time to teach my children piano. :( Well, anyway, she learned to make deviled eggs and that was always her specialty at potlucks and family affairs. Only she won't call them deviled eggs to give Satan any credit...she insists that they are Angel Eggs. Here's her recipe, in honor of Grandma's 82 birthday.
Evelyn's Angel Eggs (this is in her words)
Let's say for a dozen eggs. Blend this stuff with the yolks (hard-boiled, of course). You can use your blender if you want. Add the mayo a bit at a time, since you don't want too much.
try a half cup of mayonaise (little at a time)
a tablespoon and a half of mustard
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of sugar
1 teaspoon of vinegar
When you get it blended and it looks right and tastes right, put some in each half egg and arrange on a platter or a special egg plate. Sprinkle with pepper and paprika.
Once Evelyn took her eggs to a Marshall Family Reunion. This is at least 45 years ago. Her husband, "big" Jim, was the first to try an egg. Suddenly he choked, began spitting out the egg, all the while yelling she was trying to kill him. Turned out she had put rubbing alcohol instead of vinegar in the mixture! Course, everyone else thought it was hysterical! Happy Day, Evelyn! We love you and hope you have many, many more birthdays before you join big Jim and Wayne in Heaven! (No wonder God says there is no marriage in Heaven...whom would you live with??)

Hey, can you use Miracle Whip instead of mayonnaise? It would be a totally different taste.....which did Evelyn use?
