I love deviled eggs, but I no longer think the name appropriate because of my mother, Marie Harkins, who was the embodiment of grace. Many years ago, when I was a new mother myself, I anxiously awaited the arrival of my own mother for her first visit to see her infant granddaughter.

After commenting how lovely my deviled eggs looked, Mom chose one and took a bite. She smiled her approval and popped the rest of the halved egg into her mouth. Then she declined another saying thank you, but she'd had a filling lunch earlier. It wasn't until after she left that I had my first taste of the eggs. To my horror, I'd misread an amount in the recipe and had clearly put in too much salt! However Mom swallowed the first bite, let along the rest of it, is beyond me. She never made a face, never flinched, and never spoke of the embarrassing incident to me the entire rest of her life.
