"Spooky" Red Pepper Deviled Eggs

Yumola and Funola:
(serves 8)

8 large eggs
1/4 cup drained and chopped jarred roasted red peppers - patted dry with a paper towel*
3 T. light* mayo.
1 t. Dijon mustard
1/4 t. smoked* paprika, plus more for sprinkling
Kosher* salt and freshly* ground pepper
3 chives, cut into 16 1/2" pieces

Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Gently lower eggs into water, return to a boil and reduce heat to a low simmer. Cook egg 11 mins., drain and place in a large bowl of ice water. Cool completely - at least 10 mins. Crack eggs and carefully peel under cool running water. Slice in half lengthwise, scoop out yolks and place them in a food processor with peppers, mayo, mustard, and paprika. Process until smooth; taste and season with S&P. Transfer yolk mixture to a pastry bag filled with a large round tip (or place in a zip lock bag, and cut out one bottom corner*). Pipe about 1 T. filling into center of each egg white to resemble a pumpkin. Set a piece of chive diagonally into filling to resemble a stem. sprinkle yolks with paprika. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to a day.

Editor's note: I get to go to Orcas Island tomorrow to spend time with my friend, Louise Boone and her daughter, Katie (who is picking me up at 5 AM to catch an early ferry), so will do three blog entries today so you will be covered for the weekend. See ya back again Monday.

Have FUN today, and Happy Halloween tomorrow!!
