Pam ~ Sounds just wonderful! I don't have extra eggs but now am going to boil some and create this delicious egg salad!
Hi Carra - Let me know what you think of the egg salad. It's my sister's recipe.
Hi Kwee - My sister comes up with really great recipes. It's in her blood, I think. She's also the one with the culinary background. I'm a "pinch of this and splash of that" kind of gal. Thanks for your response.
Ha! That's funny! We didn't do any Easter Eggs (no little ones), but yesterday I DID have a hankering for some egg salad! Yup, lunch! :)
How funny, Karen. You're not the first person to tell me that. So, how was the egg salad?
It was wonderful, Pamela! Egg salad give me that "taste of childhood" kind of feeling. YUM! :-)
