A month after we were married, my husband and I hosted our first Easter brunch with our families. I was very excited as I’ve always prided myself on being the “hostess with the mostess”. Growing up, our family always ate hard-boiled eggs on Easter morning so I was sure to put this on the menu. Easter morning arrived and, in a hurry, I quickly dyed the hard-boiled eggs while tending to my other preparations. After serving brunch, my sister cracked her egg to peel it, when raw egg spilled through her fingers. I had grabbed the wrong carton and dyed the one filled with RAW eggs! Needless to say, I now always serve deviled eggs on Easter to ensure I never serve my guests raw eggs again!
