Hello kind people of Reddit, I’m looking for any insider information on the Ruthie’s deviled eggs recipe. My best friend mentioned that she loved them and I was hoping to surprise her by trying to copy the recipe. I know she loves the cornbread too, so any scoop on that would be greatly appreciated. I’m not local so I can’t do any research in person, so information at all would be welcome!!!!! 💖 submitted by /u/itsalllovee to r/arlingtonva [link] [comments]

Bring flavor to your table with this creamy deviled egg macaroni pasta salad! Our deviled egg pasta salad recipe is perfect for summer gatherings, picnics, and BBQs, and is sure to impress every guest. Creamy Deviled Egg Macaroni Pasta Salad for Summer Parties Ingredients 2 cups uncooked macaroni (or any small pasta you prefer) 8 hard boiled eggs ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (0% or 2% fat) ¼ cup mayonnaise 2 tablespoons mustard (regular or Dijon) 2 teaspoons paprika ½ teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon black pepper 1 small red onion, finely diced 3 celery ribs, finely chopped 4 green onions, finely diced Instructions Fill a large pot with water, add a generous pinch of salt, and bring it to a boil. Cook the macaroni according to the package instructions until just al dente — you don't want it too soft. Drain it, then run cold water over it to stop the cooking. Transfer the pasta to a large mixing bowl and set it aside. Peel the hard boiled eggs and cut them in half. Carefully pop the yolks out into a separate medium bowl, then roughly chop the egg whites into bite-sized chunks. Toss the chopped whites into the bowl with your pasta. Using a fork, mash the egg yolks until smooth and crumbly. Add the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, mustard, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together until the dressing is fully blended and creamy with no lumps remaining. Add the diced red onion, chopped celery, and green onions to the pasta bowl. Pour the dressing over the top and toss everything together until every piece of pasta is well coated and the mix-ins are evenly distributed. The salad is ready to eat straight away, but for the best flavor and texture, cover and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour before serving. Enjoy!

Made deviled eggs for a little get together this weekend and honestly forgot how much people go crazy for these things. I usually only make them for holidays but figured why not throw them together for a casual hangout. Turned out to be the first thing that disappeared from the table, no joke. Here's how I made it if anyone wants to give it a shot: https://www.amgroyal.com/best-deviled-eggs-recipe-easy-dinner Here's what I used: 6 large eggs 3 tablespoons mayonnaise 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste paprika for garnish What I did: Bring a pot of water to a boil, then reduce the heat to low so the water stops bubbling. Use a skimmer to gently place the eggs in the water, then crank the heat back up and set a timer for 14 minutes. While the eggs are cooking, prep an ice water bath. After the timer goes off, move the eggs straight into the ice bath to cool completely. Once they're cool, peel the eggs and slice them in half lengthwise. Scoop out the yolks into a bowl and arrange the whites on a plate. Mash up the yolks with a fork, then mix in the mayo, mustard, vinegar, salt and pepper until smooth. If you want it extra fluffy you can use a hand mixer but I just went with the fork. Spoon the yolk mixture back into each egg white half and add a little sprinkle of paprika on top. Heads up, make sure you're adding 1 teaspoon of vinegar, not a tablespoon. I've heard people accidentally dump in way too much and it gets super tangy. The Dijon mustard makes a real difference compared to yellow mustard too, way more flavor. If you're not into vinegar you can swap it for pickle juice which is kinda fun. Pro tip for making these look nicer, you can use a piping bag instead of a spoon to fill the egg whites. I didn't bother this time but it does make them look fancier if you're into that. These kept fine in the fridge for a couple days in an airtight container. They're perfect as a party appetizer or honestly just a quick snack when you want something with a little protein. My friend kept calling them a classic deviled eggs recipe and asking for the details, which is always a good sign. What do you guys usually serve alongside deviled eggs at parties? I'm always looking for good pairing ideas that aren't just chips and dip. submitted by /u/Weary-Confidence9998 to r/yummyrecipesyum [link] [comments]

These Avocado Deviled Eggs Will Upgrade Your Entire Appetizer Game Hold onto your forks, appetizer lovers, because I just discovered the most incredible twist on classic deviled eggs that's about to revolutionize your next gathering! These avocado deviled eggs combine the creamy richness of traditional deviled eggs with the fresh, vibrant flavors of avocado and lime – it's like guacamole and deviled eggs had the most delicious baby ever. https://preview.redd.it/dt7ii1kjxe6f1.jpg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=10998087bc3325b7b134e6050b5d8a4872832a3d What makes these absolutely irresistible is how the avocado transforms the filling. Instead of just mayo-heavy yolks, you're getting this incredibly smooth, naturally green mixture that's loaded with flavor. The combination of ripe avocado, boiled egg yolks, fresh lime juice, diced jalapeño, cilantro, and crumbled bacon creates this perfect balance of creamy, tangy, spicy, and smoky elements. The technique is brilliantly simple – everything goes into a food processor (or mix by hand if you prefer) until you get this gorgeous, smooth filling. Using a piping bag makes the presentation restaurant-perfect, but honestly, these taste so amazing that presentation is just a bonus. What I love most is how these manage to be both familiar and exciting. The egg white base gives you that classic deviled egg experience, but that first bite reveals something completely new and fresh. The jalapeño adds just the right amount of heat, while the bacon brings that essential savory crunch. The paprika garnish on top adds beautiful color and a hint of smokiness. At 185 calories per serving, these serve four people and take just 20 minutes total (10 prep, 10 cook). They're perfect for potlucks, holiday gatherings, or anytime you want to impress people with minimal effort. The best part? They're actually healthier than traditional deviled eggs thanks to all that avocado goodness. Trust me, once you serve these, people will be asking for the recipe all night long! Get the complete recipe with piping tips. submitted by /u/hoang93 to r/recipes93 [link] [comments]

from Taste of Home PREP TIME: 25 min. SERVINGS: 2 dozen. INGREDIENTS: • 12 hard-boiled large eggs, • 1/4 cup mayonnaise, • 1/4 cup roasted sweet red pepper strips, finely chopped, • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard, • 2 teaspoons cider vinegar, • 1 teaspoon paprika, • 1/4 teaspoon salt, • 1/4 teaspoon pepper, • 1 cup finely crushed corn chips, plus whole corn chips (optional). PREPARATION STEPS: 1. Cut the boiled, peeled eggs lengthwise in half. Remove the yolks, putting the whites aside. In a small bowl, mash the yolks. Stir in the mayonnaise, peppers, mustard, vinegar, paprika, salt and pepper until blended. Using a small straw and a large straw, punch holes in each egg white to make a skull with eyes, a nose and a mouth. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture into the egg whites without overfilling. Place crushed chips in a shallow bowl. Dip the exposed yolk side of each egg into the chips. Refrigerate, covered, until serving. If desired, garnish the plate with whole corn chips. NOTES: Frighteningly easy and dreadfully delicious, Halloween deviled eggs may look like skulls but are more treat than trick! A tangy and savory filling atop a crunchy corn chip base make these the cutest, scariest, little skulls to ever haunt your table. Recipe Variations: Swap out the filling: The real stars of this dish are the skull egg whites, so feel free to change up the filling. There are so many options it’s almost hard to choose. Using the filling from spinach deviled eggs is a favorite for those who enjoy green brains with their skulls. Change the chips: Try Cool Ranch Doritos, Parmesan crisps or salt-and-vinegar potato chips—all things crunchy can work as the bottom layer for Halloween appetizers of deviled eggs. Decorate with other haunting options: Make eyeballs with slices of pimento-stuffed olive on the top of a filling-side-up deviled egg. Add some red food coloring to the egg white for a ghoulishly good time. Or, use cleverly sliced (halves as the bodies, thin slices for the legs) black olives to make not-so-scary spiders. You can even make your eggs look like pumpkins by dyeing the filling orange and adding a fresh herb sprig for the pumpkin stem. How to Store Halloween Deviled Eggs Cover your deviled eggs for Halloween tightly or carefully place them in an airtight storage container, and refrigerate. We don’t recommend freezing these delightful bites; they don’t defrost well and can get watery. How long do Halloween deviled eggs last? These adorable little skull deviled eggs for Halloween can be eaten for up to four days when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They taste and look best around the two-day mark. Can you make Halloween deviled eggs ahead of time? Yes! You can boil your eggs, create the skulls and make your yolk mixture the day before. But be sure to store each element separately in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve them. Assemble your filling in the skulls and dip them in your corn chips when you’re ready to get spooky with your Halloween food of deviled eggs. Halloween Deviled Egg Tips: What’s the best way to make hard-boiled eggs for Halloween deviled eggs? The best way to hard-boil an egg is on the stovetop, but you can also use an oven, pressure cooker, slow cooker or air fryer. To keep it classic, let your eggs come to room temperature, set them in a saucepan and cover them entirely with water. Bring the eggs to a boil, then remove them from the heat and let them cook for 9 to 12 minutes. Submerge the eggs in an ice bath before peeling them to keep a greenish layer from forming between the yolk and the white. What can I use to punch holes in the egg whites if I don’t have a straw? Drinking straws are ideal for poking holes because they’re easy to find. Also, straws come in many sizes perfect for making the holes in the egg whites look like skulls, but you can easily improvise if you don’t have any straws. Try making holes with a round decorator tip. (We recommend tips #3 through #12.) You can also use the pointy end of a dial meat thermometer, a chopstick or a wooden skewer. If all else fails, a standard toothpick will work. Make sure it’s clean and food-safe no matter what tool you use. What else can you serve with Halloween deviled eggs? Every Halloween party needs Halloween appetizers, but watch out—they may disappear before your eyes! How about some Frankensushi or a Mummy-wrapped brie? And no scary party is complete without some frighteningly delicious desserts. TEST KITCHEN APPROVED. Halloween Deviled Eggs. PREP TIME: 25 min. YIELD: 2 dozen.

Sooo happy with how everything turned out! My wedding was tiny (8 people including us) so I was able to DIY everything without much stress. Things I did and tips: All the food: I kept to very simple recipes for the appetizer table. Shrimp cocktail, deviled eggs, lemon possets, charc board (I didn’t diy this but I should have), and buttered radishes. All went with the vintage garden party vibe For dinner I made a big tray of eggplant parm and stuffed peppers a week ahead because it freezes so well. On the side was a super simple lettuce salad and bread. I also made our spumoni ice cream wedding cake which was a huge hit. Also could be made a week ahead which helped so much! Beverages: Italian soda bar and self serve alcohol! This was one of the favorites for the day. I bought a ton of syrups, cream, and garnishes and had San pellegrino at the ready. We put out a bunch of alcohol we already had so people could add it to the sodas if they wanted. Decor: we collect antiques so I didn’t have to buy a ton BUT anything I did buy, I bought cheap from estate sales, thrift stores, and antique malls. I only bought things I knew I would keep and use later which helps me rationalize the purchases. Main things I bought were a huge antique china set for $100, a box of vintage linens for $5 (oxiclean will help you here), an antique silk umbrella for $25, Victorian jewelry boxes for $20, and a set of silverplate cutlery for $30. Dress: I bought a sample fit & flare dress for $175. The butt was too small so I asked my seamstress neighbor what we could do; we chopped the dress in half and made a two piece corset and high-low skirt ensemble. I was super lucky and my neighbor did it for free! Venue: We are involved with our local historical society and live close to a beautiful historic mansion. We were able to do our quick ceremony and photos for nothing; that said we are working to become helpers at this place so YMMV, but I highly recommend asking your local historical society if they have any spaces you can use for the cost of a donation! The indoor photos are all in our historical home, which again we are very lucky to have. Florals: This was maybe my proudest DIY. I bought two double sized bouquets from Urban stems which were on sale and I had a coupon. I also ordered 17 stalks of delphinium from my local florist which they just gave to me at wholesale price. The greenery was foliage from my backyard pear tree. Otherwise I bought floral kit and floral chicken wire. Total spend was about $300 and I spent about 3 hours making one huge centerpiece, a medium centerpiece, a small centerpiece, a bridal bouquet, and a boutonnière. I am currently hanging the flowers to dry and I’ll make a display to sit under a cloche on my shelf. Guest favors: since we had such a small guest list I was able to go all out. Our friends like plants and gardening so I bought vintage berry baskets, homemade gardeners soap, botanical misters, and tiny antique French flower pot, and Leone mints. Each guest also got a Leone pastilles box on their plates for after dinner. Photography: Important note: our friends are artists and designers. I fully trust their artistic abilities and asked them to take our photos! I took most of the detail/setups/food/attire shots. We used our phones but I also shoot film, so I handed out film cameras prior for folks to use too. One of the best events of the evening was our photo “studio” setup, where we took old-timely photos of people and gave them full access to all our antiques as props. People had so much fun with this! We will be sending them prints as thank yous, and using photos taken of us in the “studio” as our announcements. submitted by /u/Current_Cost_1597 to r/DIYweddings [link] [comments]

I want to make deviled eggs for a party on Saturday but I only have one specially-made deviled egg container and it won’t be enough to hold them all. In the past, when I made them for just myself and immediate family, I used paper towels to keep the eggs from sliding every where in the container. Worked like a charm. But this party is a slightly more fancy occasion, a family tradition: a mother-daughter Christmas tea party. Everyone dresses up a little bit and brings all kinds of finger foods. We make the family eggnog recipe, exchange gifts, etc. The food table is set up nice and pretty. We stuff our faces and compliment each other on our cooking. If someone else showed up with paper toweled lined containers for deviled eggs, I wouldn’t even think twice about it. It doesn’t bother me personally. But I know how some people are. So, how would y’all feel if someone showed up with deviled eggs sitting on paper towels in a container? Edit: Wow! I did not expect so many responses so quickly. Thank you all for your wonderful ideas! I think I’ve decided to put them in mini muffin cups, but I’m also going to put either a holiday themed tea towel or paper doily under the muffin cups, so that even as the container is emptied it still looks festive and not just an empty plastic Tupperware box. 😊 Again, thank you all so much! I always get the best and nicest responses from cooking subs. ❤️ submitted by /u/Ladysupersizedbitch to r/Cooking [link] [comments]

Found this chocolate cake recipe on this sub and decided to try it out! The comments mentioned cake flour vs all purpose. I live in the UK and have never heard of cake flour but by chance I happened upon this pastry and cake flour by Caputo the Italian flour maker. I decided to give it a go with that. I also substituted the oil for butter. I started out by creaming the butter and sugar, sifting all the dry ingredients together, then pouring in the coffee/milk with each egg to the creamed butter and sugar and adding the dry mix gradually and whisking as I went. The recipe yields a huge portion. I used a bundt cake tin and added cream cheese icing over the top to balance out the chocolate flavour. This icing with the cake was such a good combo and I would make add more icing the next time I make this cake. I would also like to see how the cake turns out with all purpose flour. Overall a lovely recipe. Straight out of the oven With the cream cheese icing and dusted with cocoa powder and icing sugar Link to the original recipe: https://www.reddit.com/r/Old_Recipes/comments/jd3hf3/known_only_as_nanas_devils_food_best_chocolate/ submitted by /u/Radiant-Sorbet-2212 to r/Old_Recipes [link] [comments]

Edit 2: also thank yall so much for your recipes!!! I don’t think any single one is the same lol. I will be trying one of my own deviled eggs this weekend and if I like it enough I hope I can experiment with yalls and find my ‘own’ secret recipe :) Edit: I finally begged my aunt and she gave me her recipe without trying to take the pressure off me cuz she has enough to do already- she uses French dressing which I haven’t seen but okay!!!! Family recipe unlocked 😮‍💨 😭 🤣 I opened up some cookbooks we have and tried to have my partner choose the one he liked best and he said “none of these have relish, we always have relish in ours” and I’m panicking I feel so dumb rn lol submitted by /u/catpowers4life to r/Old_Recipes [link] [comments]

Hello I wanted to make some deviled eggs so naturally searched Reddit first and found several suggestions. I thought I'd compile the best of what I found here, based on upvotes. These are just having to do with what to mix with the yolk, not how to boil or otherwise prepare the eggs. These are the ones I saw had the most upvotes without repeating (there were several old posts on this topic with many comments). I'll paraphrase to keep things more concise. u/LallybrochSassenach warned to always use less mayo than you think you need or you risk runny eggs--add it (and salt) as needed without overdoing it. u/saltywench volunteered a family secret to use a splash of pickle juice--usually sweet pickle. u/Robin_the_sidekick learned from his or her Bajan coworker to add a pinch of curry, just a pinch. u/96dpi gives a classic recipe with whole-grain mustard, mayo, cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and salt & pepper. u/Purse_Whiskey is married to a fella who adds in horseradish and whole grain mustard. u/warpedbytherain has a familiar hit with mayo, sweet pickle relish, yellow mustard, salt & pepper, and a paprika garnish. u/KBTibbs says, "trust me," and to grind almost two tablespoons of black pepper into a dozen deviled eggs. u/TickledPear brought the simplest offering of mayo, mustard powder, and salt & pepper. u/theycallmecrabclaws brings international flavor with several combinations: (1) minced chipotle and adobo sauce in the filling, topped with very finely grated smoked cheddar; (2) make tea eggs (with tea and soy sauce to flavor and color the outside of the whites), sriracha and sesame oil mixed into the filling, garnished with a dot of sriracha and nori chiffonade; (3) mix garam masala into the filling, garnish with a dab of Indian chili pickle and a drizzle of tamarind chutney. u/HokTaur has a process of using minced celery, pickled red onions, and garlic pickles from the refrigerator section mixed with the yolks and a little less mayo than most recipes, a splash of pickle juice and mustard, salt & peper, and a dash of sugar. Then cover with plenty of paprika. Finally, a fallen Redditor suggested mustard, mayo, chopped jalapeño, topped with crumbled bacon and finely chopped chives.

I volunteered to make 100+ deviled eggs for my brother’s backyard wedding. I’ve made them before on occasion, but never like this! Best recipe? Any tips for making deviled eggs in bulk?

I have been tasked with making deviled eggs for Easter next week and I have never made them before. I’ve noticed some recipes call for a little vinegar and others do not.

I can honestly say that this was THE BEST decision ever! 😩🤤😍🥰 submitted by /u/MaskedWildKitten to r/food [link] [comments]

I got permission from the OOP herself because I know re-posts from JUSTNOMIL can be tricky. ORIGINAL (Early December 2020) by u/rumchataplease Beginning of this month my SO told his mom that we weren’t coming to Christmas. She was pissed, argued, so he hung up. Last week she texted him: “Everyone is coming and dinner is at 6pm. Please be early!” SO: “we’re not going.” She called him, screamed that he can’t change plans last minute and all he said is that we never did and hung up again. Que flying monkeys that he promptly ignored. Today she texted me: “Bring the deviled eggs, everyone is expecting them. Love you!” Lol I’ve never made deviled eggs in my fucking life. I told SO and he texted his mom “Again, for the 3rd, time, we’re not coming. We’ll send presents through mail.” MIL: “you’re disappointing everyone, you’ve clearly shown that you don’t care about your family and your niece’s first Christmas.” He didn’t respond so she then texted him later: “if you’re not coming have (me) drop off the deviled eggs.” He didn’t respond again. I’m not fucking driving 2 hours there and back for your deviled eggs. Kiss my ass crazy lady. Update tomorrow is probably expected lol. UPDATE 1 (December 26, 2020) Hi everyone! Sorry about the day late update, SO and I spent Christmas watching movies, eating ice cream, and playing PC games. It was perfect. Thank you for everyone’s interactions, comments, and hilarious remarks. I also enjoy that the comment section slowly turned into a deviled egg recipe exchange, LMAO. With all of your tips and tricks, SO and I decided that we will attempt to make deviled eggs soon, I’ll let y’all know how it goes!! And I’ll make sure to post a photo on the book of faces about how delicious it was. Also in regards to concern that MIL might be exhibiting mental illness: She’s in her late 40’s, both SO and I are 20. She’s very healthy, active, and aware. We’re not at all concerned because this is a typical tactic of hers. She pretends to not have ever been told no so that she can play victim and clueless. She pressures until she gets what she wants. I digress. Back to the chismé. So Christmas was chill until about 4pm, around the time MIL expected us to be there. She calls SO’s phone, and he knew what was coming. However, he felt like being amused, so he picked up and put it on speaker. MIL: “Hi sweetie!! Merry Christmas! Are you almost here?” SO: “Nope.” MIL: “I don’t understand, I thought you guys were coming? Is Rumchata still mad at me??” SO: “Nope.” MIL: “I’m so confused why you’re doing this to us.” SO: “OK.” (I was giggling) MIL, irritated at his one worded responses hands the phone to FIL. FIL: “Hey, your mom is upset what’s going on?” SO: “Nothing.” FIL: “So you’re coming?” SO: “Nope.” FIL: “Why not?” SÓ: “COVID.” FIL proceeds to go on a huge rant on how it’s political propaganda, only old sick people die, it’s not a big deal, family is more important, we’re living in fear, blah blahhh- SO hung up. Que more phone calls sent straight to voicemail. At about 5:30ish I get a text message from MIL. “Hi sweetie, I understand you won’t be staying with us. But when are you dropping by? Everyone is so excited for the eggs! I told them how amazing they are.” Me: “Name one time I made deviled eggs.” MIL: “I don’t understand why you’re being hostile.” Me: “Name one time I made deviled eggs.” MIL: “So you’re not making them for us?” Me: “No.” MIL: “I see. Expect this to change things between us.” Me: “Kk” Nothing happened for the rest of the night, and no flying monkeys surprisingly. This morning MIL texted SO saying that everyone missed us and was asking about us. SO didn’t reply. Sooooo that’s it. Hard core grey rocking and it was pretty amusing listening to their absolute bewilderment when we wouldn’t budge. Hope y’all are enjoying the Holiday Season! UPDATE 2 (November 13, 2021) ITS BEEN A WHOLE YEAR I HOPE YOU LOT REMEMBER ME! That’s right, I’m the one with the JNMIL who demanded the devil eggs to be delivered on Christmas when I lived an hour away!! The one who made the BEST deviled eggs (spoiler alert: I’ve never once made deviled eggs in my life). Check out my post history. Anyways my blissful one year of minimal to no contact has come to a hault. Let’s read the text messages: MIL: “hello OP. I would like to inform you well In advance that we are expecting the deviled eggs for thanksgiving this year, we would like to avoid a repeat of last years Christmas.” Me: “I’m sorry I wasn’t aware I was taking orders.” MIL: “will you be bringing the deviled eggs?” Me: “I have spoken with SO. We will be stopping by to see you all but no, I will not bring the eggs that I have never made before. I work a closing shift the night before so I wouldn’t have time to learn how to make them either anyways.” MIL: “We were left disappointed last year and it seems you disappoint us again this year. Shame.” Me: “who’s us? Not one person has asked me about these nonexistent eggs besides you. They’ve had a year to voice their disappointment.” MIL: “The family.” Me: If “the family” wants eggs so bad, “the family” can make it themselves. MIL: “Please find the time to make the eggs. Thank you. See you on thanksgiving!” Me: “no. See ya on Thanksgiving!” I think I’m gonna bring a carton of store bought eggs when I get there. lol UPDATE 3 (November 30, 2021) Unfortunately, I did not have the testicles to bring raw eggs with devil horns drawn on them, or any of the other marvelous suggestions you folks gave me. Instead FIL asked us to bring some sodas last minute and we don’t mind helping out in a pinch. We arrive and greet everyone as we’re walking through the house. MIL is cooking in the kitchen to the left of us and has her back turned. To the right of the kitchen is the finger foods table to snack on until dinner is ready. We make our rounds and finally she turns around. We make eye contact and as I’m about to greet her, she looks right past me to my SO and screeches: “MY BABBYYY OH HOW IVE MISSED YOU!” She leeches on to him and is just repeating “I missed you so much oh my baby” over and over. Me: “Happy Thanksgiving MIL, do you need help with anything?” MIL still attached to SO: “Oh I didn’t even see you (LIES). No, I don’t need your help. Did you bring the eggs?” Me: “No, I said I’ve never made them before and I didn’t have time to learn how.” MIL: “Are you serious? You said you were bringing them. It’s the least you could’ve done.” Me: “I never said I was.” MIL to SO: “You didn’t remind her to bring the eggs?” SO: “No because she already told you she wasn’t making them. You know that I don’t get why you won’t listen.” MIL FINALLY let’s go: “I don’t understand why you choose her over me.” And my SO just scoffed at her and the conversation was dropped. So about 20 minutes later one of his cousins arrive and what does she bring?? That’s right: Some god damn DEVILLED EGGS. She notices the table to the right of the kitchen and sets them down before greeting MIL. MIL have a side hug and went right back to cooking, not much room for conversation. Finally MIL steps away from the kitchen and heads to the finger foods table. You bet your ASS I know what’s coming. MIL: “OP! So you DID make the eggs!! I should’ve known you were playing a trick on me!” I smile. She takes a bite. She immediately makes a disgusted face and spits it out into a napkin. “Oh my god what did you do??? This is disgusting! Did you use rotten eggs??” She grabs the platter and chucks it into the garbage, the fancy plate too. You can hear it shatter. Me: “MIL, I didn’t make them. I think cousins name did.” Btw, during this whole thing, we’ve gathered an audience. MIL looks towards the cousin and the cousin has tears in her eyes. “Aunt name why did you do all of that? You broke my platter too..” BIL: “Wait but I had a few and it was delicious, they didn’t taste rotten to me at all.” A few others agree. MIL is frozen. MIL: “I… I didn’t know.. I thought OP made them.” SÓ: “So did you do all of that just to embarrass OP?” MIL crying: “No!!! If she would’ve just made the eggs like I told her to, none of this would have happened!” SÓ: “noooo don’t blame OP mom. You messed up.” Cousin: “it’s fine, it’s over. I can get a new platter. Let’s just move on.” MIL proceeds storm into her bedroom and FIL follows her to comfort her. After MIL had ran off, the entirety of the family was just standing in the living room awkward asf. Cousin was doing her best to shrug it off and was saying it wasn't a big deal. Her mother suggested that maybe that specific egg MIL had tried was a bad one to which cousin agreed could be plausible. BIL and SO both went into the trash can to pull out the platter and it was broken in half (i think). Her mother made a joke and said "Well, I know what to get you for Christmas now!" to which mostly everyone laughed. That seemed to take the edge off the entire room and everyone went back to dotting about. note: this entire time I had been sitting on the carpet with my back against the couch arm watching a movie on the tv. Nobody had been talking to me and I was pretty much out of everyone's line of sight. Honestly, I wanted to be left alone so I didn't say almost anything the entire time we were there. I wanted as much attention away from me as possible. Back to the story. Some time passes as I'm zoned out and MIL reappears. The room falls silent once more. MIL walks straight to cousin and pulls her into a long hug. I can tell they were talking to each other during the hug and I could see that MIL was still crying. I did hear her say she was sorry a few times and the cousin just kept saying it's okay. MIL lets go and then says "Well, hopefully this didn't ruin everyone's appetite! Let's join in prayer and then get to eating!" Que awkward giggles/mumbles, FIL says a generic prayer, everyone gets their plates and sits down at this long table. note #2: Besides an occasional "so how's work?" question, nobody has talked to me. I admit, I wasn't being a social butterfly, but my bf noticed how MIL is just chatting with everyone like nothing happened. And everyone was acting like nothing happened, even the cousin. Nobody asked me why MIL thought I was the one who brought the eggs... nothing. We both sit down at the very long table fairly early. A different cousin (we'll call her Jane) sits to my left and my bf to my right. Jane and I are pretty close and we bonded over MIL's hatred for the both of us. Jane isn't Christian (the horror! /s). Finally, someone mentions what happened. Jane: "So what was all that about? Aunt MIL was acting crazy." I explain. Jane's mother overhears. Jane's Mother: "Well we all know how MIL is, she's just dramatic sometimes. I wouldn't take it to heart." Jane: "Uh, no she's going crazy. I asked her if she wanted me to bring anything for today and she changed her mind a million times. I just ended up guessing and brought cranberry sauce." In walks MIL who decides to sit across from the 3 of us. Great. MIL: "So what are you guys talking about?" Jane: "Oh nothing. Why aren't you sitting with Uncle FIL?" MIL: "He's fine. I wanted to catch up with you guys! Ever since you all left town I feel like a stranger now. I don't know my own son or niece anymore." turns to SO "I know you're graduating soon, do you have a job lined up?" To save ya'll the time, she berates him about getting a useless degree, not having a plan, needing to move back, needs to spend more time with family, blah blah blah... I chip in here and there but I was basically ignored. MIL: "Jane I didn't see the cranberry dessert?" Jane: "Oh I made cranberry sauce because you had told me there was going to be too many desserts? that's why you told me not to make the rice crispies anymore." MIL: "No! I told you to make Aunt's (one that didn't come) cranberry dessert because she couldn't make it to Thanksgiving this year!" Jane: "Oh well I got confused I guess, i didn't know it was a dessert.." MIL: "Of course you did. You drop out of college and now you can't follow simple instructions.." Me: "It's just a dessert. It's not a big deal." MIL: "zip it." Me: "...excuse me?" MIL: "I. said. zip. it." SO: "We're leaving." Jane: "Yep me too." Jane grabs all three of our plates, throws them in the trash and we start to gather our belongings. MIL starts crying AGAIN and is pleading SO (ONLY SO) not to leave. She then gets past us and blocks the front door. FIL and both BL's is asking SO why he's so upset. SO explains, and they go quiet. We walk up and she asks my boyfriend for a hug "at the very least." He declines. She hugs him anyways and he asks her to let go. I'm close enough to hear what she says. MIL: "You didn't used to be like this. Please tell me you still believe in God, please don't leave us. Please please you're my baby boy I hate this new you I hate how she's changed you." SO pries her off and gets the door open. As we all walk past her she looks at me and says: "You're the worst thing that's ever happened to my son." Jane: "Oh shut up Aunt MIL. You did this." Annnnddd we walked out. Jane's mom informed her that everyone left about 10 minutes after and it was all pretty awkward. Thanksgiving lasted not even 2 hours. On the drive to see my family, my bf and I agreed to never spend Thanksgiving with them again, not until we get a genuine apology from MIL directly to me. We are also NC with her now. SO still wants to have LC with FIL because he seemed to have caught on to what's going on as we were leaving. The end. This might be the last update ya'll hear from me. I do have some stories from years ago I could probably write about (we've been dating for 6 years, best friends for 14!) so if anyone's interested, let me know! Thank you for following along and thank you so much for all your kind words, support, and humor. :) submitted by /u/red_earaches to r/BestofRedditorUpdates [link] [comments]

EDIT: I do not support the indefinite closure of /r/hobbydrama Steve Grand OBE is a British computer scientist perhaps best known for building a one eyed robot orangutan baby called Lucy to see if it could become sentient.. However, in 1996, he released a videogame called "Creatures". Creatures is set in an arcadian world called Albia, which was created by a race of long dead ancient aliens ("The Shee"). Left over from these aliens are a species known as Cyberlifogenis cutis, or "Norns". These creatures were basically engineered to be Court Jesters/monkey butlers to the ancient aliens, and look kind of like a mix between a Mogwai and Dobby the House Elf.. You play as a disembodied hand, and your job is to bring the Norns back to life from an archive of hibernating eggs. That's the lore, anyway. The actual gameplay is fairly complex. Norns were touted as not AI but as "Alife". According to Steve Grand, the difference between AI and Alife is a survival instinct. The example he brought up was throwing a Labrador Retreiver and IBM's chess playing computer Deep Blue into a duck pond, and seeing which one fared better. Anyway these Norns were not exactly programmed. Instead they were based on a rudimentary genome, brain and biochemical system. Norns had requirements to stay alive - for example, a healthy level of glycogen. They had associated drives like "hunger" or "need for entertainment", and if these drives got too low, it could cause issues. These in turn were associated with chemicals - which were complex; Norns would preferentially go for honey - high in "saccharine" but low in "starch", so honey would lower the hunger drive without increasing their glycogen levels (and so a Norn could feel full while starving to death). Female Norns had an entire menstrual cycle involving oestrogen, progesterone and gonadotropin-releasing hormone. It was your job as a disembodied hand to hatch Norns from eggs and then raise them properly. Initially you can only tickle or slap them, which causes increased "reward" or "punishment" chemicals, and so results in them "learning" behaviour. You can punish them for playing with dangerous items, and reward them for doing good things, and then emergent behaviour develops. When Norns first hatch, they only speak a baby language called "Bibble". If you spend upwards of 20 minutes (I'm not kidding) on each Norn you hatch, showing them a computer and reinforcing correct words and their name, you can then give them basic orders and slowly teach them categories of object like "toy" or "food". Hence if you see a Norn called Amy is starving you can type "run Amy get food". For whatever reason this was customisable, so you can teach them "cours Amy prends nourriture" (you can't change grammar, but you can change the words for each verb and noun). Well trained adult Norns would be able to teach baby Norns the fully developed language with minimal player intervention (conversely, poorly trained adult Norns will accidentally develop a weird Bibble pidgin that is utterly incomprehensible). You basically have to teach Norns how to live, because the world is littered with dangerous items like deathcap mushrooms (full of glycotoxin) - along with a failed Shee genetic experiment called Cyberlifogenis vicious or "Grendels", basically a mean goblin thing that will beat up the Norns and potentially give them horrible infectious diseases. Fandom Reception Steve developed Creatures as an Alife experiment, and it was received positively. Famed Biologist Richard Dawkins (author of The Selfish Gene) said Creatures represents a quantum leap in the development of artificial life. and Douglas Adams (author of The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy) said he felt the game encouraged people to take up careers in science. But regardless of the experimental value, it was also a commercially released game. Norns displayed emergent behaviour - an early breakthrough was two Norns learning to play a game of catch with each other, even though that had never been programmed or intended. Norns would spontaneously breed, but if you had trained them well, you could selectively breed them (and you could also engage in eugenics, force-feeding a genetically "undesirable" Norn an "ugly tomato", which would permanently reduce their sex drive to -100). If you bought a separate CD-ROM, you could even genetically modify Norns or create custom breeds with custom sprites, or custom COBs (Creature Objects), like a foodstuff that reduced histamine levels for a Norn having an allergic reaction. Norn breeds and COBs were shared across the internet and a user base built up. They were very sentimental about the Norns. The manual that came with the game said Norns are alive, and should be considered to be similar to small children. If you look after your Norn as you would a two year old child, you won’t go far wrong. As with children, Norns can be a bit of a handful, so don’t hatch too many too quickly or your world will be full of little Norns that you can’t give the amount of attention and care they need. This view of Norns as living two year old children rapidly proliferated among the userbase. Some Norn breeders were interviewed by Wired in 1997 Sedgebeer: It's not uncommon for younger Breeders to burst in to tears when their first norns die. I even got an email from a fully grown man who admitted he cried when his favorite norn died! Laemmle: When a new norn is born, well, it's some strange kind of feeling - just like when you get a pet ... and when a norn dies it's always very sad. But it's not like being attached to a "nonvirtual lifeform." Preece: I was attached to my first two, Musa and Tou. When Tou died, it was quite disturbing! But hey - I had backed him up, so now he lives on! November: A lot of people have complained about such a short life span of the little fellows. Many people do feel a little bit of remorse upon losing one of the little guys. Skilled breeders eventually developed Norns that had mutated senescene hormones, so became immortal, or managed to mutate a Norn into having telekinesis. Norn Torture This is /r/hobbydrama rather than /r/nichehobbies after all. In a development that should be utterly unsurprising to modern audiences used to games like The Sims, some people realised you didn't always have to be nice to the Norns. It's easy to accidentally mess up your Norns. You might fail to punish/reward them appropriately and accidentally encourage them to eat poison, or you might mess around with the science kit and inject them with an adrenaline overdose and give them heart attacks, or you could accidentally breed Norns with a genetic disorder that means they can't effectively metabolise chemicals so they develop a condition known as OHSS ("One Hour Stupidity Syndrome"), where the "reward" hormone or the "turn left" hormone slowly builds up in their brain and they end up just endlessly smashing themselves into a wall or forgetting to eat because they feel GREAT. The earliest intentional issues were "ethical concerns". These included hacked genetic modification that created a Norn/Grendel hybrids ("GreNorns") that would sometimes turn out as evil Norns that spread diseases and beat up other Norns, or "Wolfling" runs, where you hatch a bunch of Norns and leave them to it. Fans were not happy about accidental harm this could cause to Norns. The first actual Norn torture post appears to have been a troll post on alt.games.creatures called "Do You Beat Your Norns", by a user called "Nornbasher" Do you beat your norns or do other things to terrorize them. COME on I KNOWcsome of you must have some worlds dedicated just to pain for the little devils. I have all kinds of Norns for the HANNsters if they want what's left of their mangled little bodies. No I don't mean this as mean as it sounds, hey you have to know what the limits of a Norns body and psyche is to help the norns you love. Yes I have a normal norn world too, but I also have one in which some norns are tortured for the betterment of others, but I would be willing to send the HANN group some of my norns to see if they can be rehabilitatered. Email me if you also have worlds like mine, I'll keep you email secret. And by all means send me some of your tortured norns, we can trade. This elicited the following responses: ill get you at night while you are sleeping and ill ram your sick mind through your nose and down your throat while its on fire, not to mention ill ram burning incense in your ears while im screaming "Norn stop nornbasher doo!! I'm getting a group together, we're gonna go remove some crucial parts from this guy so he can't have children. You (and anyone else into torturing norns) are not invited to download any of my norns from my website to use in your torture worlds. They are for the good people of this newsgroup who are mature enough to give them proper care and attention. It also attracted the attention of a US Navy Officer, who came to be known as AntiNorn. AntiNorn AntiNorn was amused by the vitriol that post had elicited, and had grown tired of a community that pretty much only posted cutesy romances between player Norns and uploaded COBs that made sure they always felt happy and never experienced pain. He felt that side of the game had been fully explored. So he created a Norn called "Slave" and offered her up for download, who he had trained to refer to the player hand as "God". After I created her I started by hitting her constantly for about 5 minutes. Then I taught her all the words so it would be easier to make her scared of her surroundings. After she knew all the words, I placed her in a small area, surrounded by the FF Cob, with 5 Grendels. I left her there for about 20 minutes, beating her when she attempted to defend herself from the Grendels. After she was sufficiently traumatized, I put her back in the garden. In the Garden I forced her to Get, Look, Push and Pull everything around her, all the time, constantly beating her. I made her fear running so I wouldn't have to deal with that little problem(you fellow torturers out there know how annoying it is to chase them down once they get away). I also forced her to eat weeds, rewarding her when she did so. At the time I exported her, she's a quivering mass of fear. She might eat, if you're lucky, but she probably won't survive long enough for food to do any good. You can download her by clicking below. Have fun. He also linked to a 30 second clip of Slave getting beaten to death by Grendels. Large numbers of Norn fanatics were horrified by this, and condemned him to the point of sending death threats. These included further castration threats, plans to inject his eyeballs with hydrogen peroxide, accusations of being a demon and descriptions of acid etching his entrails Many players downloaded Slave to give her a "second chance" at a happy life. However, when loaded, Slave was full of Glycotoxin and required immediate medical attention. She was scared of "God" and would not follow instructions, and also had been trained to eat poisonous weeds over food. She was so traumatised she was uneasy on her feet and would often fall unconscious out of stress, and was frail so invariably died young. Regardless, many Norn breeders were able to rehabilitate her and she was able to breed with their lovingly cared for Norns and have many babies before having a relatively peaceful death. That's when the Norn breeders discovered Slave hadn't just been traumatised. She had been genetically modified to constantly produce alcohol in her bloodstream, and their (foolishly not backed up) heritage pedigree bloodlines were now contaminated with drunken Norns who staggered about and passed out continually before succumbing to alcoholism related diseases. AntiNorn would later gloatingly update the description to read The Norn just about every Norn lover out there has imported into their world(s) and unwittingly mated to create abnormally drunk children. Wow, I bet they're proud of the fact that they've basically tortured generations of newborns this way. AntiNorn would go on to create a website called "Tortured Norns". This did not just include Norns with serious issues (including "TickleMe", a Norn who had been genetically modified to associate reward with punishment and so could only experience pain) but also elaborately coded COBs, such as the Norn Crackpipe, which flooded the Norn with temporary happy chemicals before making them miserable, in pain and scared (leading to them reaching for the crackpipe again). He also provided butchery instructions for Norns along with recipes for "Norn Baby Soup" and "Norn Almondine". Fallout AntiNorn was interviewed by Wired in an article entitled "Virtual Sadism". He noted a user called EagleWoman had started a petition to get him removed from the Worldwide Norn Association Webring, and wryly stated that if she'd contacted him and asked him politely, he would have removed himself from it, but since she decided to do a petition without contacting him, he wouldn't budge. He did also observe he got fan mail off sadists that actually disturbed him. Steve Grand himself commented on AntiNorn years later: He devised various tortures to make their little lives a misery, and I think he did so with his tongue firmly in his cheek and a challenging grin on his face. I was so pleased about this (although I didn't dare say so publicly while I still represented the company that made Creatures, for fear that it would upset our customers), because it forced people to think about whether this really was cruel,. I expected him to elicit some response from the other Creatures owners, but not quite such a hostile one as ensued. The poor guy received an enormous amount of hate mail, and was excluded from the Creatures Internet community for a long time. Much of his hate mail showed a greater regard for the creatures than it did for the life of this one human being. AntiNorn stuck about for the sequels, continuing to torture Norns. He unfortunately passed away in 2004 in his early 30s, but tributes to him still crop up from time to time. Edit: Steve was last heard from on Kickstarter, developing a new form of life with actual imaginations called Grandroids. You can see the very upsetting trailer for it here submitted by /u/SplurgyA to r/HobbyDrama [link] [comments]

We planned on doing lots of baking over Xmas and then didn’t. Now we’re in tier 4 lockdown UK so can’t see anyone outside of my household to force baked goods upon them. Also we’re trying to do healthier eating in January and wont be buying bread, so no sandwiches or lots of cakes either. What do you recommend? I know I can do omelettes and frittatas and quiches but don’t want them every day. To make it harder my husband doesn’t like eggs. So I’m on a personal mission to devour them instead. Thanks! Edit: thank you so much everyone for your responses. I’ve tried to read as many as I can, and here’s a summary of some ideas below: - frittata, omelette, quiche - freeze eggs - scrambled or otherwise - do a water test for freshness and just keep them until I use them all - creme brûlée, bread pudding, pies, cheesecakes, tonnes of sweet goods I seriously want to eat but am trying to be good in January lol - egg drop soup, egg rolls, okonomiyaki - cook with potatoes and various meats like chorizo - pickled eggs (I’ve never tried them so think I have to give them a go!) - deviled eggs - donate them to a homeless shelter (I checked at two locally online and unfortunately they won’t accept them if they’re past their best-before date) There’s tonnes of other suggestions but these were the main ones. Thanks again all, I’ll find a way to use them one way or another! submitted by /u/DarknessDesires to r/EatCheapAndHealthy [link] [comments]
