Bacon, curry, tahini add adventure to the deviled egg
For some cooks, deviled eggs require no recipe. Just cook the eggs, peel, cut in half, mash the yolks with your family’s secret mixture (often mayonnaise, a little mustard, a dab of pickle relish, a bit of finely minced onion or celery), fill the whites and sprinkle on some paprika, chill and serve in Grandma’s deviled egg platter.

Gadgets & Gizmos: Trudeau’s Bottle Opener and Cap Catcher
Once we got past the reverse action (using a downward motion, rather than an upward pull) we really liked using Trudeau’s Bottle Opener and Cap Catcher. What makes this bottle opener stand out is its convenient cap catching feature. As bottle caps are pried off they automatically fall into the chamber below. The chamber holds up to 30 bottle caps and the removable bottom makes emptying a breeze. (To see the opener in action, visit shoptrudeau.com.) $12.99 Continue reading...

DEAR REV. GRAHAM: I’m graduating from college in a few weeks, and I’ve already been offered a very good job, at least as far as pay is concerned. But a former employee of this company told me I’d be pressured into doing things that aren’t honest or ethical. How can I know what to do? — S.D.

HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY
Happy birthday. You are clear about what you desire. You’ll put out as much physical energy and enthusiasm as you can muster next month, and this boomerangs back to you in the form of all the support you need to launch your project. In July, much will depend on whose side you’re on. ARIES (March 21-April 19): Is experience the best teacher? For today, the manual will have her beat. Don’t fumble around trying to figure it out when someone else has already written down exactly how to do it. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You will devote yourself to investigations of the unknown, and not because you want to uncover the mysteries of life, but because you want to enjoy them. You appreciate the fascinating magic of unanswered questions. GEMINI (May 21-June 21): Usually a social buttery, today you’ll be more like the ower: a stationary attraction that has all the other butteries ittering about and occasionally landing for a visit. CANCER (June 22-July 22): Don’t expect yourself to know everything already. Even if you thi Continue reading...

In the past, wine, not food, was considered the culprit when it came to unsuccessful food and wine pairings. But realistically, almost every wine produced today will work with food. Of course there will still be the occasional horrible combination, not unlike having your morning orange juice after brushing your teeth. Continue reading...
