I had an unconscious smile across my face as I rinsed the remnants of egg yolk and paprika sprinkles off of the deviled egg tray and loaded it into the dishwasher, recalling the fond memories that were made just a little while before:
Friends gathered around in the kitchen, all leaned over ballots checking off our predictions on who would take home the Oscars.
The roar of the crowd as winners were announced.
Food prepared lovingly to share with great friends, both new recipes and old favorites.

The Oscar party has now become tradition that we all look forward to every year. And while we may forget who won best supporting actress in 2013 or what dishes we served, we won’t forget what a great time we had.
See you in class,
Mrs. Hines
Perfect Sharon– yes I needed this post! I can never figure the time out- THANK YOU!
Glad to know I could help.
Do you use medium size eggs? When i use extra large eggs, it takes at least 5 minutes longer. Thanks.
Great question! I use large eggs. Yes, the time will vary depending on how many eggs and what size…it is trial and error. I’m glad you brought this up…I’m going to edit the recipe to say large eggs.
