Easter eggs repurposed into egg salad! With bacon. Had just enough homemade mayo left for this, and a little fresh dill my mom foisted upon me. On some sourdough on its last legs, toasted. I used 2 extra yolks in the mash.
growing up, my mother would mix the crumpled bacon in with the eggs and mayo. i still do — plus a bit of dijon — though i skip the dill.
I feel you brother!
Captured before the second half disappeared: four Easter eggs, two stalks of coarsely chopped celery, Duke’s mayonnaise, Gulden’s brown mustard, and curry powder between slices of Easy Tiger sourdough.
Onion pie#2 (cudduruni) sauteed onions, artichokes, spinach, tomatoes, capers, black olives.
Side salad of mixed greens and Castelfranco radicchio, mustard vinaigrette.
Pizza today….sautéed zucchini, shallot, garlic, tomato, rosemary, basil, thyme, mozzarella. Grated pecorino at table.
Frisée and radicchio salad, sherry vinegar, walnut oil.
Still working my way through the Easter eggs, and the last egg salad was such a hit we did it again. Had to make more mayo, but I think there were more than the usual 4 egg yolks in the jar in the fridge, probably 6 I realize now, so the mayo is very rich and thick, which isn’t a bad thing in this instance. I loosely follow the eli zabar egg salad recipe but only use 2 extra yolks instead of 4, so maybe it all comes out in the wash?
Sourdough waffles and bacon along side and some counter culture decaf. Perfect Sunday!
One of the kids ate matzah with it, making the ultimate cross cultural leftovers meal? We still have 2 boxes of matzah to get through (we celebrate both Easter and Passover).
Yum! My kind of pizza. Needs wine!![]()
Have a suggestion
? I’ll see what’s in my cellar!
You have a cellar?
I feel underprivileged! I can’t afford one; I buy ‘em as I need ‘em.
I’m not a wine expert by any means, but would recommend Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Noir. In a pinch, it just has to be wet! ![]()
Seasonal views, and reheated BBQ pork ribs w onions, cheesy grits and salad. First back deck lunch of the year - 76 F and no snow in the immediate forecast. My wintered-over early iris planters and one hanging planter of chicks and hens line the small deck where we set up / take down a card table for meals. The rhubarb patch by the largest trees has leaves large enough to be visible from the deck - desserts still a month away.
