Best wishes, and good luck. I think eggs are great but I also think sometimes we just don't like A Food for no good reason and that's fine too. Having said that, I hope you learn to like eggs. Fried with brown crispy edges.. here's what I do with devilled eggs, if it helps:

One of our dad's common midweek meals was a green salad with sliced tomatoes, bacon bits and devilled eggs. I still make it and it is still the best

The salad as described, with a bit of vinaigrette on a white plate with light blue and pink Blekinge colours in two lines on the rim

Pleased with this. I really miss Genoese style focaccia. It is not quite perfect but pretty close. Bit too chewy, but very good!

Well, very pleased with this. Roast pork belly with cloudberry sauce on stir fried kale, bacon and garlic on cheesy polenta. Polenta went lumpy on me sadly, first time that's happened to me. Best pork I've cooked though, I think

Basically as the post says. Extra detail: on a white porcelain plate and you can just about see that yes, the skin is perfect

Made Hunan-style (Lamb) Chili Cabbage stir fry and bear's paw tofu for my brother as he is leaving here tomorrow. Good success, Cabbage was delicious. Tofu sauce was excellent, will alter tofu cooking method for next time I do this one.

Made bread again, got the little bubbles on the crust this time! Pretty much perfect now for the swiss style bread I want. Not as pretty as from a real bakery but very happy

Two roughly 35cm long baguette-ish loaves with nice medium to deep brown crusy. Somewhat scuffed slices that didn't quite open up while baking as they should.

Some devilled egg salad, always makes me think of my dad. No bscon bits though, which he always added but I didn't have any bacon at hand. I miss you, Daddie. May 1st he died, which seems very appropriate somehow.

Very pleased with this. Edges a bit thick, bit too much scorch on the kale but tasty crust, thin still with some chew

Top down view of the pizza with slightly browned mozzarella, somewhat too scorched kale. Rest is as described in post.

Side view of the pizza and you can see it is very thin, just a few milimeters.

Bacon n beans n lentils n veg

A white ceramic bowl with light blue and light pink lined rim filledneith the aforementioned beans, bacon and lentils (though also onion, celery, carrot, oregano, thyme and paprika). It is a bowl of brown orange bean stew that honestly any non vegetarian would have a gold time with it, by the looks. Good bit of olice oil flosting on top but not tok much. There's a good pile of chopped parsley on top and a side plate with old style buttered knäckebröd.

It's not been super cold this winter but been snowy and just a bit below zero long enough that the sea froze nicely anyway

A scene of white snowy winter on the shoreline of a baltic island. In the foreground is an old rickety wooden jetty going out into a frozen white sea. The landscape in the middle distance is the other side of the bay with dark woods reaching all the way around from right to left. The sky is a bright and clear light blue with the full sun in the top left.

Similar scene as first picture but straight to the west with the sun near the center of the picture, minus jetty

The same as previous picture but looking slightly east. There are dark rocks sticking out of the sea here and there and a scrubby tree on the right side clinging to somr rocks

A nice dal and one of my better naan attempts

A bowl of brown indian tal tempered with fried onions and the usual spices. Nice sheen of oil and the floating red chili, browned onions and such. There is also a small handful of chopped coriander. To the side is a rather large oven baked naan, it is a little hit browned but not really any black bits but otherwise good

Not the neatest bowl in the world but this was the best thing i've made in some time. The cabbage maybe ended uo making the soup a bit bitter after a bit, the cheap bit of ox cheek i got on sale was fantastic braised in the soup though. Lanzhou beef noodle soup

A chinese style blue and white soup bowl filled with a dark brown soup with a glisten of red chili oil and beef fat. To the side is blanched savoi cabbage and in the center, over a pile of hidden noodles, is a mix of braised ox cheek, braised dailon, blanched bean sprouts, chopped coriander, chopped red chili and spring onion.

There are bare elms and rowan trees just beyond the wall on both sides, the sun peeking through low and slightly orange to the left about at the level of the first third of the trees. Everything is covered in about 5-10 centimeters of snow.

Lmao i sort of want to know now but probably not enough

The Guardian television critic Lucy Mangan gave the series zero stars out of five, writing that "I did not know it was still possible to make television this bad. I assumed that there was some sort of baseline, some inescapable bedrock knowledge of how to do it that now prevents any entry into the art form from falling below a certain standard. But I was wrong."

Made some pizza, will need some practice with this new recipe but it's very promising. I encourage people to try it. Used this recipe for the base, my usual seriouseats ny pizza sauce and my usual bscon, salami, onions and capers as topping: youtu.be/--KHL2oxMPE

A large square pizza, nicely charred in places but no burned cheese cooling on a wire rack. It looks about as you would want it.

Side view of a slice of the pizza, you can see the thin crust with a bit of air in it and it holds nearly firm held straight out.

Bottom of that same slice, definitrly cooked and lightly tan, could maybe be a little more done but definitely fully baked.
