Ostara is a time of bountiful fertility.  The wonders of Spring surround us with the beauty of new life, new growth.  The egg has long been a symbol of fertility and the reawakening of Mother Earth. This is my spicy, awaken the senses for Spring, recipe for "Deviled Eggs"
         -Shelli's Deviled Eggs-

          A dozen eggs, hard boiled, cooled and shelled.
          Mayonnaise
          Mustard
          Curry Powder
          Celery salt
          Sage
          Dill
          Black Pepper
          Cayenne Pepper
          a dribble of Dill Pickle juice
          a squeeze of lemon juice
          Black Olives, sliced
          Paprika

          Carefully cut the eggs in half, lengthwise.  Put yolks in a bowl, and whites on a tray.  With a fork or potato masher, smash up the yolks into a fine crumbly consistency.  Add spoonfuls of mayo and mustard, mix until creamy and smooth.
<Note: there are no exact amounts, you will have to experiment with this recipe to your individual taste>
          Add in approx. a Tablespoon of curry powder; a Teaspoon of black pepper, then a 1/2 Teaspoon of Celery Salt, Sage, Dill and Cayenne.  (more or less to taste of the spices)
          Add a squeeze if lemon and a dribble of dill pickle juice (sweet pickles and bread&butter pickle juice are OK, they just add a different flavour).   Fold until all ingredients are well-incorporated.
           Fill the whites with the yolk mixture, garnish with the sliced black olives and a sprinkle of paprika.  Keep chilled.
