I wish I could do a ham for Easter but ham is a migraine-trigger for my
wife-the-beef-eating-carnivore.

I'll probably get one of those shrimp cocktail rings from the stupidmarket
(safeway) for an appetizer. I know, you purists would tell me to make my
own. Been there, done that! Ain't doing that again if I can help it!
We'll also have a veggie tray but I'll make that myself.

I'll most likely grill some NY Strip steaks, with a foil packet of sliced
zucchini (with S&P, butter, parsley, teensy bit of minced garlic) and
another foil packet of diced potatoes (including butter, chopped up
caramelized onions (haven't tried that before), and S&P) or baked potatoes.

For the steaks, I'll have S&P and granulated garlic powder (the only time I
don't use fresh garlic).

We'll be too stuffed for dessert so I won't even bother with it.

I think I'll make devilled(sp) eggs this year. Anyone have a good recipe
for devilled(sp) eggs? I've never made them.
