Dear Jolene--Thank you so much for this! I've inherited a deviled egg plate and now I'm inspired to actually use it! Happy Easter! Love, Jamie

Oh Jolene, I just read again the description of jellied eggs and realize that a) I don’t think that a recipe was included, and b) it’s probably too complicated to do, what with the other dishes I have to make for Passover! I may give them a try in the future; the picture and description is very enticing! Now The Muffuletta Deviled Eggs are another story—those I may be able to pull off. If I make anything photo-worthy, I’ll send you a picture. Happy, Happy Easter!!!! 🐣

Lovely! Very hungry for deviled eggs-luckily there will be some at the Easter potluck this Sunday. Yum!

Lovely! I recently unearthed a vintage 1959 Gourmet from my archaeological dig through my attic, and found an article by my grandmother. Besides that gem, I’ve been touring the pages of the magazine and yes, the writing is exquisite. And clearly the bulk of their ad revenues came from the alcohol beverage industry LOL. Sign of those times...

Jolene, have you read The Devil in the White City? You mentioned the 1893 World’s Fair. This book might be helpful to you or just interesting. Oh, and I am so making egg salad and serving it with pickles, black olives, and cherry tomatoes.

Why am I always drooling over the deviled eggs in your newsletter and never MAKING them for myself to enjoy?

Soooo, reading this post reminds me of an Easy Peel Hard Boiled Egg recipe I saved years ago and promptly forgot to use.

If anyone tries this, please share results. 🤗

1. Boil enough water to cover eggs

2. Add refrigerated eggs

3. Add 1 t. baking soda

4. Boil 12 mins

5. Cool before peeling

I love the Palmer House. I still remember the day my aunt brought me there as a little girl, just to walk around the lobby. Magical.

You just reminded me how much I love a deviled egg sandwich! I haven't added mustard before.....might give that a try!
