Have you ever tried green tomato chow chow i n your deviled eggs mix of as a topping? Yummy.

Nope. I don’t eat relish either. My dear grandma and I are firm believers that there’s not meant to be anything crunchy in a deviled egg.

Especially shells from those hard to shell fresh eggs!!

I've had many recipes and additions from pot luck dinners. While I enjoy most, I still do mine smooth. Mayo & a touch of mustard, salt...a little paprika sprinkled on top.

I chop up sweet pickles that I make in my deviled eggs. I make my great grandmother's spick sweet pickles that I have never found any, anywhere that can compare to the taste. Yum.

pennies nickels and dimes all add up when you're a kid.

Barely added up, and it didn't go far, as at age 15 or 16, when I took my 1st paying job, I had to start paying rent at home...them was the rules. "If you work somewhere besides here at home, you have to pay for your room and board..and for your mother to take care of your clothes. There are no free rides here son, or anywhere else".
Took a lot of sq bales to make $85 and have a few pennies left over.
For my brother and I, that was $85 each, and honestly I do not remember if that was per week or per month. Been paying my own way ever since.

We did not have to pay any board until we graduated from high school. And we had to keep up with whatever chores we had at home but could keep our money from working elsewhere. That said, I paid all my expenses for my horse, building her 2 stall lean to barn, all her hay, grain, equipment, even buying my first horse trailer.... I always asked for money or horse equipment for holidays rather than things like candy at Easter, or Christmas, or my birthday.... Rode my bike to work on the egg layer farm, then took the bus from school to my job and home, and then walked the mile from the city bus home....it was NOT up hill but mostly flat and downhill...HAHA... but a cold walk in the winter snow.

My walk to and from school was uphill, both ways. One day I got to school wearing one shoe, and the teacher asked if I lost a shoe. I told her, "No teacher, I found one".

I came close to getting in major trouble in St. Louis when I was around 15 (1965) so Igot sent to live with an Uncle in Arkansas who had a pool hall and bar. They were good to me and when I hired out to farmers I got to keep what I made. I had to clean out the 'store' every morning before the bus ran but I had a nice family and home so that was minor. I won a '62 Ford playing pool when I was a junior so the rest of High School was a bit better.

Dang, now that's the kinda punishment I would have liked to have when I was 15...going to live with folks that had a bar & pool hall....
(I am reminded of what Charles Manson told the prosecutor after receiving the life sentence... "If someone beat you with a whip and you love the whip, what's he doing?""

I don't like crunchy stuff in my deviled eggs and I don't like relish either.
Not much of a pickles fan, it needs to be a certain sweetness and it needs to be spicy.

Nor in a tuna sandwich.
