Hi Dave,

So if these are deviled eggs, what would make for angeled eggs?

This would be them - angel and devil are just two sides of the same
coin. Bv)=

I was of the impression that angel eggs were "deviled" without the
mustard or other sharp, biting ingredient.

Well these, as you can see from the ingredients list have both Dijon (zippy) mustard and hot smoked paprike. BvP=

So they would be deviled eggs, leave out the mustard and hot paprika and
they would be angel eggs.

BTW, I'll be "off the air" until early next week--got a quick trip
planned and I'm not taking my computer. Then, later in the month

we'll RH> be on the road for a longer trip but do plan to take the
computer.

Thanks for the "headzup". I take it our servived Idalia with all flags flying. We'll hold your spot at the table.

We had aabout half an inch of rain from Idalia. Looks like Lee will miss
us, still keeping an eye on it tho. Got back from our quick trip late
Saturday afternoon, now catching up before we leave out again. This one
was out to Utah for our oldest grandson's wedding.

Set oven to 350-|F/175-|C.

Prepare a 4" ramekin or a large muffin pan cavity by

Form the tortilla into a cup shape in the ramekin or

a damp paper towel if it's too firm to bend.)

Beat the egg and meat with the half and half and a
dash of salt & pepper. Pour mixture into tortilla cup.
Spoon in the salsa and sprinkle to with cheese.

Hello Ruth,

Probably, it was that kind of a trip. Next oldest grandchild is just
short of 15; I think it will be a while before the next wedding.

You know what they say about "best laid plans ...."?

She just started high school; I think her parents will want her to
finish that before getting married.

You never know. The daughter of one of my friends had a baby
when she was 14 years old. Her boyfried was the same age. Being
a deeply religious person, she allowed her daughter to have the
baby, with the understanding her daughter would have to care
for the child.

Of course her daughter objected, as she claimed it was too much
for her to do alone. Especially since she had to go to school.
So her mother gave in, allowing her boyfriend to also help out.
Kind of like an after-school activity for the both of them.

I think you already know who wound up raising the kid.

Recipe time -

You like coffee?
I know you do.
But this is better.
Coffee with a twist.
Brew your special cup.
Any way you like.
Adding sugar and cream optional.
But here's the kicker.
And it really is a kicker.
The final touch never to forget.
Add one tablespoon of olive oil.
I like two, but one will do.
Extra virgin is best.
Stir for best results.

will go on to college--took her folks a while to finish but her dad was commissioned an Air Force 2nd Lt. upon graduation. Mom took a teacher
route, ended up finding her career love.

Of course her daughter objected, as she claimed it was too much

ended up being a lot more juicy.

I could see that in this ham. Outer slices dried the worst but inner
ones weren't too bad. Hopefully Rachel saved the bone and will make a
batch of pea or bean soup with it when the weather cools a bit more.

Of course we did (and still do) use sliced delli ham -- often honey
baked.

We've been getting prepacaged deli cold cuts from Wegman's from time to
time, usually ham, roast beef or turkey. Reminds me, we're leaving out
shortly for another trip so need to pick up some cold cuts. Going to an

That's a whole other thing.

Just can't beat the taste of it sometimes. Plus, the bonus of a ham
bone for a pot of pea or bean soup on a cold night.........

One of my favourite sandwiches (and an Illinois icon) is made with
fresh hams.

Have to try it next time we're in the area.

Not from the original location, though. It was converted to a Pig Hip Museum in 1991 and operated until the "tragic fire" in 2007. All that remains is an informational plaque attached to a boulder and a restored Pig Hip sign on the original site of the restaurant.

Here's a link to the story and hist'ry of the famous stop: https://www.il66assoc.org/2022/04/ernie-edwards-the-pig-hip-restaurant/

I am told that one can still get a "Pig Hip" at a couple of family cafe spots in Lincoln, IL (next off-ramp up the road). But, heck I can make my own as long as I have the sauce and some fresh pig hip ( uncured ham).

This is a good sauce for other things than the Pig Hip sandwich. Usual "uncooked egg" cautions apply. Bv)=

OK, we're outbound right now but a bit south of that. We're in TX for an
RV/ham radio rally, then on to see daughters/families and the annular
solar eclipse. So far nothing spectacular in the line of meals but hope
to hit up a German place or two in our travels, SIL mentioned one in the
SLC area to try.

Not sure how we'll head back east, depends on the weather but will keep
this in mind if we go thru IL.

If you're anywhere near Lockhart, TX ... ir swwms to be the epi-center of Texas BBQ - including Kreutz Market - a favourite of M. Loo.

If you're up north ther panhandle has many places including the Big Texan Steakhouse where I once managed to finish their "gimmick" feature od a 72 ounce steakm potato and salad. But, I wore a youger man's clothes (much younger) then. All I could do these days is look on and marvel.

Coming from Utah (I assume) anything north of I-70 doesn't make a lot of sense. You'd be closer to stopping in Louisville for a Hot Brown from the original venue. The Brown Hotel.

I've not made this - but I've eaten it - more than once. You and Steve could probably split on and stil have to ask for a "go-box". Bv)=

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06
