Loanwizard, those are great looking eggs. Who knew you could cook? I use mayo in deviled eggs plus mustard and sweet pickle juice--that's it. Yum! I wish i had made some today.
I was married for 16 years to a woman whose grandmother used to own a restaurant in Bunker Missouri, that raised her daughters in that kitchen. For 20 years I did not enter the kitchen as I was a bother and not good enough.... that sounds bad and it wasn't.... all those women including my ex.... could flat out COOK!
I went through a mid life crisis, left my family for a 20 year old that sometimes burned hamburger helper..... I went out and got me a Betty Crocker cookbook and started to teach myself.
Today I am with a wonderful woman that has raised 4 children plus as a single mother. She cooks, but way too many heat and eat, processed stuff.... A couple times per week, and most Sunday dinners are mine, plus holidays main course. I enjoy preparing for a lot of people. Ol Betty taught me how to make mashed potatoes, pie crust..... don't bring no store bought crust in my house...., apple pie......
One of my favorite tools in the kitchen is the pressure cooker. I have 3. An electric that is fantastic but too small, a 6 quart which is the workhorse, and the big canner.... Canning chicken as we speak from the killer beast of a dog....
Used to be Sunday morning before everyone got up, I would put a round steak, or roast in a pan of water, covered with foil at 300 degrees for 4-6 hours.... Now it is 45 minutes in the pressure cooker and is more tender.
I must say that my favorite cookbook today is.... Google.... saw the colored deviled eggs on Facebook, googled it and made it.
