The Deviled Eggs Were a Success

For the third year in a row, a group of us here at Caltech got together for a pot-luck Thanksgiving dinner. The first year, I brought green bean casserole. The next year, I “helped” Ariele make roast vegetables. This year, I made deviled eggs.

I used the recipe in The Joy of Cooking. To the yolks, I added sour cream, dijon mustard, chives, shallots, curry powder, salt, pepper, and paprika. I think they turned out well; they seemed to be well received by those at the dinner who are considered fans of deviled eggs.

My only complaint: I added too much salt. I would reduce the salt, and I probably would add more chives. Regardless, the eggs were a success, as was everything else I tried at dinner. We had two turkeys. One was fried, the other roasted. We had mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, roasted vegetables, two types of stuffing, green bean casserole, and a whole host of other goodies. What a wonderful meal.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
