Eat Like a Rabbit

These were the deviled eggs I made to be the protein with our leftover salad pieces last week. You can see a much more detailed story with cost to make from the first time I made these using The Splendid Table's How to Eat Supper on this previous post. Although, I should point out this salad also had carrots, bell peper, and cucumber. Obviously, if you find these foods on sale, it's still a great price for a fancy salad.

Yesterday, I served the leftover eggs cold with a variety of sauteed vegetables over baked potatoes. I was a little nervous that they wouldn't be good cold, but they actually tasted quite good--possibly even not as strong in garlic and onion flavor.

This may be the last time I make these eggs because I haven't figured out what to do with the leftover stuffing. We weren't particularly fond of turning the stuffing into the salad dressing. We would have been much happier either just sprinkling the stuffing over the salad as well or using it to make an egg salad sandwich for lunch the next day. I guess we'll wait and see. Still, it made a pretty addition to what otherwise would have looked and tasted like a traditional and rather boring salad (if you traditionally find salads boring, that is).

Click on the photograph to go to Paul's Flickr page for a closer-up view of the monkeys. There's nothing like sitting in a boat having a picnic lunch and watching the monkeys watch you and wonder how they can get across the river to partake, too. We had quite a show. One of the best times was when a piroux came by with a dog and three adults. The dog watched us 'til he saw the monkeys. He got in really big trouble for barking and scaring them. Thanks, Connie and Jack for a great day!

Easter is coming up quickly. It's next Sunday! As my grandmother used to sing "Here comes Peter Cottontail. . ."

I don't have much memories about Easter lunch when I was a kid. I think I remember the men being out on my grandmother's back porch barbequing (not all of us were vegetarians) while the women were inside. I'm pretty sure I remember deviled eggs (remember we're not vegan, just vegetarian) and possibly a potato salad, but then I might be getting it all mixed up with July 4th. Hey, it was Louisiana! It was hot on all holidays!
