This is "the week of egg salad". Any favorite egg salad recipe you'd like to share?This picture was taken a year after these eggs had been boiled in onion skins. What I learned? 1) Surprised, having saved yellow onion skins for a long time turned these eggs a reddish brown color. 2) That hard boiled eggs sitting out longer than a year never smell or explode (as some of our raw Ukrainian died eggs have) and do seem to dry up inside. Conclusion? Maybe hard boiled eggs would be fine to use for Ukrainian dying. They just can't be eaten, so no egg salad from them (see post.)

Our favorite egg salad recipe came about from a mistake. Elizabeth inquired about making deviled eggs one day, and I instructed her in the ways of mayo, pepper, dried mustard, and a bit of paprika sprinkle. When she served the eggs, I took one bite and tasted such a new and delicious flavor. "What did you put in this? It's wonderful!" I inquired. She shrugged and repeated the recipe. "No" I replied, "Something's different." She left and retrieved the jars for me to see for myself. There I read it: Ginger. In place of the mustard she had mistakenly added ginger. (They do look the same at a quick glance.) What a great mistake! Often times we add both ginger and mustard -- delicious!!! Rachel is now egg salad/deviler, so I expect more new taste sensations.
p.s.
My Bosch mixer arrived yesterday (second one, actually, as the first arrived damaged). I used it right away. TERRIFIC machine!! My kitchen-aid (Miss Trusty) has been my loyal complaion for the past 20 some years, but she now shares the tasks with Mr. Bosch -- he's amazing! Now that I bake bread regularly I needed the BIG GUY -- your recommendation, along with my pal Karen Deborah's, made the job of choosing an easy one: choose Bosch. I got the older style, having heard the new model out this year has problems. I need old reliable and trusty.
: D Now that I bake your bread my family won't touch the store bought loaves in the freezer -- pretty expensive duck/seagull bread, don't you think? ; )
Ginger! I don't think I'd ever had tried it, but now I will.
My Heather always hated the word 'devil' like even in 'dust devils' but it's hard to call them angels. I wonder where 'deviled eggs' even came from ... will have to google it sometime.
Glad you're liking the Bosch. I still do think it superior. I do have the new one tho, and my old one is packed to sell sometime (if I can find Heather's blender in the garage and replace my old one). It's bowl attachment is the only quirk I'm not used to yet.
And ... the only bread I'll buy is Great Harvest. It's a franchise and I've been making friends with the Denver lady as she sits in her van a couple times a week here in Evergreen and then will be at the Farmer's Market.
They are the only ones I know of that grind their own flour every morning before bread baking.
I've been lazy lately, but still do make all my own baked goods from my home ground flour. And I try to utilize other grains so we don't just get wheat all the time.
