DEVILED EGGS EXPLOSION!

Before trying these recipes, I wasn't really a fan of Deviled Eggs, but not only are they super simple to make for parties or dinners, they are absolutely delicious and totally unique!  Give 'em a try and become the expert on eggs in your neighborhood.

Pickle & Jalapeno
Stir 3 tablespoons Mayo, 3 Tablespoons Greek Yogurt, 1 1/2 Tablespoons Minced Gherkins, 1 Tablespoon Minced Jalapeno, 1 Tablespoon Cider Vinegar, 1/4 Teaspoon Kosher Salt and 1/4 Teaspoon Black Pepper into the egg yolks.  Divide them among the egg yolks, topping each egg with 2 thinly sliced gherkin pieces.  This serves 12.

Bacon & Blue Cheese
Stir 1 Tablespoon cooked chopped Bacon, 3 Tablespoons Mayo, 4 Tablespoons Crumbled Blue Cheese, 1 Teaspoon Dijon Mustard, 1/4 Teaspoon Pepper and 1/8 Teaspoon Kosher Salt into the egg yolks.  Divide them among the egg whites, then top with 2  Teaspoons Bacon and 1/4 Teaspoon Pepper. This serves 12.

YES, I'M A GRANDMOTHER, BUT...

A while ago my son told me, "Mom, you have to be the worst grandmother in the history of the world!"  He's probably right. Most grannies love to babysit and hang out with kiddies who drool, but I want no part of it. With one child who is 30, I don't want to get up in the middle of the night unless I want to read a good book, or watch a rerun of Chopped on the Food Network; and I have absolutely no interest in having food thrown at me in the kitchen for grins and giggles. (lol)

The other day, I asked my granddaughter to recite her numbers up to 20, which she's perfectly able to do in person, but once she's on the phone, shyness apparently kicks in.  When I asked what's going on, she told me something I couldn't understand, three times, forcing me to finally ask my son, "what in the world is she saying?" (lol)  He, being the perfect father who totally understands his 2 year old daughter, tells me, "she said she's nervous". Huh...  I never heard any syllables remotely sounding like that, but okay. Once that's communicated by dad, she happily tells me her numbers.

The bottom line is, a baby can't truly appreciate any gourmet cooking, and there's not really much intellectual conversation going on. Therefore, none of my friends even bother asking me to watch babies while they're visiting a doctor, and they know there is absolutely NO way I will ever babysit for date nights, mall visits or trips, and I don't relish the thought of sitting as a passenger in the back of the car if it means sitting along with the baby in a car seat.  That's because once the cutie wakes up, I become the designated person to keep him or her from trying to get OUT of that dang car seat and that's no fun at all.  Even worse, you can't pay me to change a dirty diaper.  In fact, I'm not even sure I remember how to do it anyway!

Don't get me wrong, kids are absolutely adorable to look at in passing, and it's cool to hold them, but their parents need to be in the general vicinity so I can give those cute babies right back!

PARALLEL PARKING...NOT!

Let me just tell it to you straight.  If you see a gorgeous woman taking forever to parallel park on the street, you may as well grab a cup of coffee and wait, or run in the other direction. I'm dating myself, but thank goodness I received my drivers' license years ago, only needing to renew in whatever state I landed without actually having to be subjected to that horror again.  Still, I'm parallel parking challenged and not ashamed to admit it.

A friend trained me to pass that portion of the test a long time ago, thank goodness, but after that, I literally lost all memory of how to get it done.  If I have to squeeze into a space, I'll drive around the block forever, or end up parking blocks away to avoid damaging your car or mine.

As technology continues to change on a daily basis, I wonder if eventually we'll have to parallel park wherever we go, making me very afraid...
