Really any holiday

At this point, my mother in law just makes me a separate decoy batch...

Whew, thought I was the only one with a personal deviled eggs batch.

As my dad always used to say to me I am actually a guest in his house so I guess that means I can have deviled eggs 🥰

Just made some and the joke runs through my head (going to get it very wrong I am afraid)...

Host: Welcome to my party! Can I interest you in a half dozen hard boiled eggs?

Guest: uhhhhhh, no thanks?

Host: What if I cut them in half, add in some mayo and some other stuff?

Guest: (busily stuffing face) Got any more?

Close lol, the original joke the host is like "and that'll be $18"

I'd really prefer the plain hard boiled eggs, maybe with a bit of salt. Nothing against the devil, per se, but their eggs are gross imo.

I'm the deviled egg family member!

Always plan on 3 full eggs for each anticipated guest, then add another half dozen. Most people will only have 1 or 2 halves, but there's always a couple people who will go through like 10.

I'm the one who will go through 10, easily. I'm really like that snake.

"Is that a whole egg in your mouth?"

"Hmm-mmm."

"Then whistle."

"..."

Well...spit it back out I guess.

I made the deviled eggs and I had to make 5 extra to satisfy myself long enough for them to last until the meal 😩

I have to make several extra every time because my wife likes to spread a portion of the filling on toast.

Just for once, I would like someone on Thanksgiving to make a big plate of deviled eggs for me and then another one for everyone else.

My mom was the snake in this picture this year. I made some for the first time and they all got eaten which was a huge success for me.
