Marylou's Devilled Eggs



Marylou is our lovely and kind neighbour who goes out of her way to make life a little more cheerful for us, she gets me cut flowers from her garden, whenever possible she helps with the kids, brings us nice seasonal surprises. So yesterday was no different. She actually took my daughter over to make these lovely devilled eggs, then she asked me to come up with a more Indianized version so we had two variations of these. My son decided to amuse himself my writing his name all over the sheet. (the bed sheet that is). That kid has no plans of growing up. He was even upset that I fussed, since he was practicing writing as I had asked him too, LOL!
So here we have the recipes, the original,

  1. You opened a floodgate of memories with this post! My Dida used to make Devilled Eggs quite often. But she mixed mashed & spiced potato stuffing and roll it in bread crumbs and deepfry...at least that's what I remember of something I last ate almost 20yrs back!
    Thanks a ton...
