But it does happen to Eric, and last night as I drifted off to sleep I was trying to hypnotize him: "Imagine that you're on a warm sandy beach. Let your toes sink into the sand…and now your kneecaps…and your earlobes." Note to self: never let a tired person try to talk you to sleep. You will just laugh at them and then be mad that you're now even more awake.
Shortly after that incident, Eric had to get up at an unholy hour to leave for a business trip. Naturally once he was gone I had a terrifying dream about an entire colony of black widows taking over our house. Like they KNEW he was gone. I have seen an entire colonies' worth of nonexistent black widows out of the corner of my eye today.
I turn into a total lazy teenager when Eric is out of town. All I want to do is stay in my pajamas and watch Pride and Prejudice all day. I keep thinking he's on vacation, so I deserve a break too…until I remember that it's a business trip. He's workin his booty to bring home the bacon, and here I am melting into the couch.
Easter is coming up, and we all know the best part about Easter food is the deviled eggs. (This judgment excludes Easter candy.) These are regular deviled eggs jazzed up with some Sriracha, lime juice, and cilantro. It makes a huge difference! I've never thought to add hot sauce to deviled eggs and now I'm never going back. I love them. They are not overwhelmingly spicy, just enough to be interesting. If Sriracha Deviled Eggs don't sound good to you check out these Deviled Guacamole Eggs. Also to die for.
It makes them sooooo easy to peel. I got this tip from Elizabeth over at Guilty Kitchen.
I used to have problems with insomnia, then I had a kid, became the most bone-tired I've ever been, and have been sleeping like a rock ever since! Haha. I thought you were going to say these sriracha deviled eggs came to you in a dream, and I would totally believe that–they're super dreamy! That spider dream? Not so much, yikes!
I don't even know where to start. You crack me up, lady! I am convinced you deserve your own realty TV show. I would binge-watch "The Adventures of the Food Charlatan" all day long, ha!
Oh, and these deviled eggs? Pretty sure they would be perfect for a lazy day on the couch while watching your amazing episodes :).
Haha!! The day I get my own reality TV show is the day pigs fly. Or hell freezes over. Whichever comes first :) You're the best Kathi!
Oh my gosh I have loved that Noah cover for years!!! It's seriously the best. Will and I just spent a good half hour listening to some of his newer covers the other night. They're good, but they just can't compare. I never have trouble going to sleep either. I hope that never changes because sleep is the best.
I'll take deviled eggs any way I can get them — especially if they're spicy and have cilantro. Done.
Haha! I was laughing picturing you talking Eric to sleep. I used to try to do that to myself when I would be wide awake stressing about a test or something. If only it worked.
And deviled eggs are totally the best part about easter! As long as they're not made from the eggs you just picked up out of the grass from the easter egg hunt…which my aunt used to do…and it totally grossed me out. We are both sriracha twins today in our posts! My new favorite condiment. I bet it is amazing in these deviled eggs. Yum!
The hardest thing about deviled eggs is getting a good peel on the whites. You did that for sure. Love the addition of the sriracha. I love the low angle shot of your first photo.
Hi Karen, congrats on the hits, Yeah! love sriracha.
Haha, Cheri, I was so confused by your comment until I reread my post…the 20 million hits I referred to was on the video that I linked to. I WISH I had 20 million hits, yeah right! haha.
I bet these eggs taste amazing! I'm the same way when the hubby travels. He just got back from a week long trip. Yesterday after braving the store, and doing a few other clean up projects.. I made the comment that I work a lot less when he is not here. That may not have worked for some couples, but he just laughed.
