Has this happened to you? Be honest now. It's Monday and you've opened the fridge actually thinking it was the coffee cupboard (because you're nursing that Mimosa hangover from brunch yesterday) and found these colorful, odd shaped droppings in your fridge. It's a shock, right?The first shock being that this is not the cupboard that you intended to open and admitting that you were cleverly deceived by an unfriendly and unsympathetic synapse in your sleepy brain.
The second shock is being forced to determine what the hell is shining all bright and pastel at you where the milk is supposed to be. (Where is that guy from CSI or maybe this is more of a job for inspector gadget). Anyway. There is shock. There is awe. And finally, hopefully, there is coffee.
But you still have this problem. How do you "dispose" of these delicacies. Because it seems terribly rude to just throw them out (like kicking Santa Clause). So you bring one to work but you forget about it in your bag and three days later your favorite bag is covered in shattered pink disaster and smelling like THAT mat at your gym. That idea sucked.
OK, so how about making something delectable and disguise the fact that these were your experiment to recapture memories of the past and then you drank too much and forgot that there was even a holiday much less a colorful token to commemorate the extravaganza. Great! Let's suppress.
Egg Salad
Ingredients:
6 eggs (peeled, ya, of course, and sliced anyway you want)
3 ribs of celery (peeled and diced very small)
1 small shallot (also diced)- you could also use red onion here or scallions
1 t dill
1 t yellow mustard (what out for the "node" at the top. EEW)
1.5 t (to taste) Garlic Ailoli Mustard (Trader Joes rides again)
1 C mayo
1 t worcester
white pepper
sea salt
Mix all of these fabulous ingredients together and refrigerate your beautiful ensemble. I usually give it at least a couple of hours. To serve it, I like making sandwiches on fresh sour dough bread with red leaf or romaine lettuce, finely sliced tomato, and Jarlsberg cheese.
What a delicious way to clean up the crap.
