At our church there have traditionally been a couple of ladies who prepared deviled eggs for any and all gatherings.  No one makes them as well as these ladies.  End of discussion.  Unfortunately, they have gotten to the point of not being able to perform their appointed duties any longer.  Amateurs have taken their place.  Not to be critical but some people can make deviled eggs and others try to make them.  I am one of those who try.  I know my shortcomings.

Even when you are eating deviled eggs made by the second string you look longingly at the salad end of the buffet line to see how many deviled eggs have been made for the occasion.  It is gut wrenching to get to that position in the buffet line and find that the DE’s are gone.  What?  There were several plates of 24 eggs per plate.  How did this happen?  Who did this?  You look out at the sea of parishioners and you sight the culprits.  There are several people sitting there with 6 deviled eggs on their plate.  6 of those yellow eyed bundles of goodness.  Is Molly Manners on the floor in a dead faint over the breach of etiquette by the egg hogs?  Even though we are in a house of worship do not expect divine intervention and the feeding of the multitudes in connection with the deviled eggs.  It aint gonna happen.  Gone means wait until next time Leroy.
