Sriracha Deviled Eggs


This is my recipe for Sriracha deviled eggs.  I make this for every Court of Honor and they disappear quickly.  Using Sriracha cuts down on the amount of mayo you need, so I suppose that this is somewhat healthier.  It is definitely tastier.  This is also a very inexpensive dish to make for pot luck type affairs.

Ingredients
1 dozen eggs
pinch of salt
1/8 tsp mustard powder
3 Tbsp mayo
4 Tbsp Sriracha sauce
paprika (to sprinkle)

Equipment
pot with lid
knife
cutting board
fork
whisk
rubber spatula
paper towel
1 gallon resealable freezer bag
3 cup measuring cup or similar sized bowl
scissors
deviled egg plate (optional)

If you're an old hand at deviled eggs, you probably don't need to read any further.  But if you are new to this, we'll go through it step by step.

 Put your eggs in a pot and add enough water to cover them plus a pinch of salt.

 When they come to a boil, turn off the heat and put on the lid.  Let sit for 15 minutes.

 Put the pot in the sink and run cold water on the eggs to stop the cooking process.

Once they are cool, pour out the water.  Shake the pot to crack the egg shells.

 Peel the eggs.  I like to peel them under running water.

Here's the mess.

 Cut each egg in half lengthwise.  Pop out the yolks into a bowl.  Use a wet paper towel to wipe off the knife after each cut.  This makes everything go smoothly.

 Use a fork to crumble the yolks.  Try not to leave any big lumps.

 Add the mustard powder, mayo, and Sriracha.

 Use a whisk to mix it up and get out the lumps.  Add more Sriracha to get the desired consistency.

 I like to put the freezer bag into a 3 cup measuring cup and flip the edges over.  Use whatever bowl you have that works.  Use the spatula to transfer the mixture to the bag.

 Cut one corner off the bag, fold over the top, and use it like a cake icing bag to fill your eggs.

Sprinkle paprika on your eggs if desired and enjoy.

The deviled egg container that I use is made by RubberMaid and comes with a lid.  I ordered it on Amazon and I'm very happy with it.  It holds 20 deviled eggs, which means there are 4 left over for our family to taste before the Court of Honor.

Frapping Mallet

Image
I was doing some research on pioneering for an upcoming Camporee with a pioneering theme.  I came across a blog called Ropes & Poles .  One of the articles was about a tool called a frapping mallet .  It is used to tighten up lashings on larger projects.  You wrap the rope around the handle, brace the head against your spar, and use the handle as a lever to tighten the lashing.  I could not find much else on frapping mallets on the internet.  I don't think these are available for purchase anywhere.  I did find an old sailors tool called a heaving mallet used on rigging in a similar manner. Nevertheless, I was intrigued and had to make one.  This is not your typical project that anybody can make in their kitchen, but if you have the required tools, and know how to weld, it's not that hard. Materials 1/2" x 18" iron pipe 1-1/4" x 6" iron pipe scraps of hardwood spray paint Tools Cut off saw drill press center punch hammer 1/4" an

Dining Fly Poles

Image
Here is how to make some inexpensive poles for a dining fly.  Make two of these, add an inexpensive poly tarp, some cordage and stakes and you have a very economical dining fly. Materials: 1/2" EMT pipe (10') 5/8" oak dowel 7 or 8" aluminum gutter nail (spike) EMT stands for electrical metallic tubing.  It is used as electrical conduit.  It is galvanized steel, but fairly lightweight.  You can buy a 10' foot length of 1/2" diameter pipe for $2 and change at your local home improvement store. If you want an 8' pole, cut your pipe into two 4' sections.  Cut a 2" piece of the 5/8" dowel.  Hammer into into one end of one pipe.  You may need to sand it a bit to make it fit.  You want a tight fit so it doesn't move later.  Now drill a hole through the dowel that is slightly smaller than the gutter nail diameter.  I used a 7/32" bit.  Hammer the nail in until about 2" is still protruding. Now make a piece to connect th

Commando Rope

Image
Remember the commando rope with a loop on one end and a toggle on the other that commandos would use in WWII to scale cliffs, etc.?   It does not seem to have warranted a mention in the latest edition of the Scout Handbook.  It was featured in my 1980 edition Scout Handbook.  There were also articles about it in the June 1947 and December 1978 issues of Boy's Life.  We have a pioneering themed campout coming up, and I thought it would be neat to make some wooden toggles so the Scouts could make commando ropes. I used 7/8" oak dowels, which are about $5 for a 36" length, enough to make 8 4" toggles.  I used a 3/8" core box router bit, set to a height of 1/8" to make the groove.  I made a groove 2" (on center) from each of of each dowel using a router table.  It will take multiple passes to make a circumferential groove.  It is better to make the groove when the dowel is long.  Don't cut them to 4" and then try to make the groove.  T
