I love deviled eggs. Has anyone come up with a vegetarian version, let's say using tofu, or some other god-awful stuff?

Not for myself, you understand. I'm just curious.

I'm picturing something like a Jello mold for the egg shape, and some kind of filling.

They knew you were destined to be a writer since you were a baby and they couldn't keep you away from a keyboard. What a cute little one!

If Mama Cass had shared that ham sandwich with Karen Carpenter, they'd both be alive today.

"Happy Birthday, Nicknamed Bob"



February

With sussurant cloak and creaking stride,
He grins with humor cast aside.
The greeter of all has tracked my spoor.
And lifts his scythe beside death’s door.

No trace of hope, no sign of eyes,
My plea for pity he’d despise.
I snatch a look into his face,
And worriedly step up the pace.

His costume dark, his soul to match,
I will not be an easy catch.
I am not winded, I am strong,
But he is used to marches long.

He will not tarry or delay,
And knows that there will come a day,
When my steps falter, joints aflame,
And he will beat me at this game.

He’s never lost a soul they say,
For all are lost who go his way.
While I am running for my life,
He calmly whets his thirsty knife.

The time has come, betwixt the fests,
We stoutly sing in lurid jests.
To celebrate a year’s demise,
As flames leap up into the skies.

So patiently they do the job,
“The candles are lit now, Uncle Bob.
Blow them out, and make a wish!”
(Try not to listen for the swish.)

For unseen, he has entered here,
I feel his presence hovering near.
One of these years he’ll get his man,
But I’ll keep running while I can!

"... what do you want to fill them with? whipped cream?"

No, my transient idea was to make a vegetarian analogue of deviled eggs, with the texture and taste of that devilishly delicious concoction, but expressed in vegetarian terms.

They miss out on so many good things in life, I wanted to bring them some joy.

Smith had filed for bankruptcy in a California court that took it upon itself to decide some matters relating to Marshall's estate. That court awarded Smith $475 million.

What was a California court doing even taking a bankruptcy case that involved an unsettled probate case of a Texas estate? And how does a bankruptcy court award her $475 million that isn't even hers to declare bankruptcy on?
