Day-after deviled eggs

OK, we went to my sister's in Poughkeepsie, NY, for Easter weekend, and I left the Easter eggs (for 10 kids!) in our fridge in Newburyport. Now I have 2½ dozen hard-boiled eggs.

What do I do with all those hard-boiled eggs? Deviled eggs! When I make deviled eggs, I don’t follow a recipe, and they’re probably never exactly the same twice, I just throw in mayo (Miracle Whip, usually), mustard (Dijon, usually), horseradish sauce, hot pepper sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and relish, and whatever else I'm in the mood for (curry, dill, parsley, or cilantro?). But, a couple of years ago, I stumbled across a recipe for deviled eggs on epicurious.com. There were pages and pages of feedback from people who had tried the recipe. Who knew deviled eggs could inspire such prose – and opinions? If you can use a laugh, you might want to check it out – it was hysterical!
