deviled eggs.




I made devilled eggs for an appetizer before supper. Our supper is going to be homemade pizza, I'll let you know how it turned out.


For my deviled eggs, I boiled water and placed 6 eggs in the water very carefully not to crack them.

I boil them for ten minutes.

Then I drain them and put them in cold water.

I wait a few minute until the eggs are cool enough to touch.

then I crack and peel them.

After that I cut them in half and coop out the cooked yolk with a spoon putting then in a bowl.

I mash the yokes up with a couple tablespoons of mayo, some cayenne and some cracked pepper.

then I scoop the yolk to fit in each empty egg whites.

And then I refridgerate them.
You can see my devilled eggs in the fridge, they're kind of sloppy looking thou.

lentils and sweet onion

Here's a recipe I remember from an old boyfriend of mine who was czechoslovakian.



Here's how it goes:


You'll need to cut up a large onion and fry it slowly on medium low heat until the onion is caramelized. It will take a while so be patient.


Once the onions are nice an brown, add a heaping tablespoon of white flour to your frying pan, coat all the onion pieces.


Then add your can of lentils, season heavily with salt and pepper and put a couple tablespoonfuls of white vinegar.


Voila.


Serve wish a side of sausage, or with toasts.


It's so simple but so nutritious too.

storing apples and pears.

Apples and Pears are easy to store, demanding only a box or shelf to sit on in a cool, dark, slightly damp environment. It is advisable to wrap each apple in newspaper to prevent mold. Make sure you store only the best fruit, removing all dubious-looking specimens which might ruin the healthy ones. It is also important that air can circulate around the fruit as poor ventilation will cause rotting.
