YEP...another FRIEND LUNCHEON...and it was so so FUN..
*
*
*
*
My share of this friendly lunch was to be
DEVILED EGGS.....
*
*
So I boiled the eggs for 15 minutes....(don't you love this little blue-banded vintage bowl
that belonged to mom?)
*
*
While the eggs boiled, I chopped someVIRGINIA BAKED HAM
to go into our Deviled Eggs...
*
along with finely chopped fresh onion, celery, sweet Banana peppers....
a little sweet relish...
*
*
and a multitude of other ingredients...this is something that everyone has favorites that they add...
I always use HELLMAN'S mayo....we like a touch
of LOUISIANA HOT SAUCE....
*
*
and sprinkled with Paprika....... then served on a pretty plate...OF COURSE!!
*
I was to furnish the dessert and one of MY favorites is
What a lovely table MARTHA set for us...
Her centerpiece was this fabulous vintage Carnival Glass bowl...
Oh ! Honey....
*
I was to furnish the dessert and one of MY favorites isfreshly baked ANGEL FOOD CAKE.....
FRUIT SALAD, with chopped pecans and WHIPPED CREME...
*
What a lovely table MARTHA set for us...Aren't her dishes just beautiful !?
I just love them to pieces...
but I love MARTHA more !!
* 
Her centerpiece was this fabulous vintage Carnival Glass bowl...just full of pretty, fresh fruits...
I'm not certain but I am thinking the bowl belonged to her mother.
*
Oh ! Honey....Little Smokies, simmering in the most delicious sauce...
homemade Red beans, chock full of chunks of delicious ham, peppers, and other secret ingredients....
a delightful Green Salad .....
creamy Potato Salad....
Deviled Eggs...
Iced tea and, OF COURSE, hot coffee....
*
The great meal ended with the Angel Food cake, topped with Mandarin Oranges, Pineapple Tidbits, Fuji apples and bright red cherries, and sprinkled throughout with chopped pecans....all this topped with REAL whipped, sweet creme....along with that hot, rich coffee ........
IT WAS A DAY TO BE REMEMBERED !!

Oh BJ...have I just dropped into Heaven??? This is certainly the kind of food angels must have... please serve me up a double portion of everything...especially the fun you girls had! ;-) Bo
My mother-in-law served angel food cake with fruit, pecans & whipped cream all mixed together. The family always called it "Cake & Goop". Thanks for reviving the memory - I'll have to make some for my husband. Sally
Oh that angel food cake dessert looks so delish, and I have been craving angel food too...now I must get some at the store. :) nancy
Deviled eggs are one of my favorites. It is so nice that you and your friends have these gatherings!
Oh, I am eyeing those delicious deviled eggs. Never thought about putting ham in them. I could eat a dozen... I see you tried to equalize the lunch by serving some angel food along with those devil eggs! Clever!
Yummm, what could be better than an amazing meal shared with even more amazing friends! ♥ Diane
It all looks delicious. Angel food cake is so great this time of the year. Thanks for stopping by my new blog. Eggplant..like Mikey would say "try it you'll like it".

I need to make an angel food cake now. With all of these wonderful Foodie Friday recipes floating around in cyberspace, I'm going to weigh a ton! Nancy
Oh, BJness! This all sounds so divine and yummy! How nice you gals could get together and eat! We all love to eat! I've never had deviled eggs with ham before - that sounds so good! I'll have to try that next time!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
BJ, pass those eggs, honey! Oh, the whole meal looks so delicious! YUM!
Looks like y'all had a blast, too!
Happy Foodie Friday...
XO,
Sheila :-)
What more could you ask for great food and great friends. Everything was so nice.
Sounds like a perfect day for you. Love your banded bowl and your deviled egg recipe! Angel Food is always a perfect ending.. Grat post!
Yum! What a delicious meal, BJ!
Happy Foodie Friday!!
Some people just know how to cook, and you are one of those people! I adore deviled eggs--it's one of the things that makes low carb dieting tolerable. But these eggs are art! Your friends look so darling, and I know you have a blast when y'all are together. I love your Mom's bowl.
You made the angel food cake?! That is so cool! I've never had homemade angel food cake I bet it is delicious. And I've never seen deviled eggs made with so many ingredients before I bet it tastes awesome. :)
All the best,
Allison
Wow! I knew I enjoyed that luncheon so very much and after reading your personalized description of it I know why. Of course the wonderful company didn't hurt any either! Your pictures are fantastic! That was a really fun time wasn't it? Of course any time with you and the other girls is fun! You really did a good job on today's blog. Thank you for your kind words too.
I love you!
Martha
Mmm, those deviled eggs look like the BEST!
The luncheon looked delicious. The is nothing like good food and good company, expecially when it is served with love and of course a beautiful table. The quote at the end of your post today..just stole my heart! What a wonderful thing to say! It is exactly how I feel and I appreciate you putting it into words.
Smiles and love~

I know I'd like to be on your next guest list! The food sounds and looks fabulous, but you are right. None of it means a thing without someone to share it with! Thanks for a great post!
I love deviled eggs, so therefore I love Easter with all the hardboiled eggs to use. I also love egg salad, too!
Now that looks like a wonderful ladies luncheon! Your deviled eggs sound delicious!
Hugs,
Penny
Morning BJ,
Is 6:30 in the morning too early to be thinking of lil' smokies and beans? Sure sounds nummy!
Hugs,
Dena

BJ, next time, leave some for me! LOL
I love deviled eggs but we're kind of cowards when it comes to anything with pickles, so I'll try your recipe sans the relish.
I'm building up my menu for Easter... :-)
I bet you guys had a lot of fun! Everything looked so good and Martha sets a pretty table. I could go for a piece of your dessert it sounds so refreshingly delicious! ~ Robyn
Oh how fun! I just found myself a deviled egg dish at Goodwill and I'll have to make some of these yummy sounding deviled eggs! Have a lovely weekend Bj!

It looks scrumptious and the company was probably the best part of the day.
Looks like a great little luncheon. How nice to get together with friends and eat and gab! Your deviled eggs are unique. I would love to try them. Thanks for sharing! I also have all the makings for that wonderful looking dessert. I do that with just fruit but the angel cake will make it ever better.
What a great way to spend an afternoon. Nothing makes food taste better than enjoying it with good friends! I love that your devilled eggs have a bit of a kick to them! Everything looks lovely.
You are so lucky to have these special friends to get together with now and then. That is something that is missing from my life. Friends to have a blast with. Sigh...
Stopped by on Pink Saturday and glad I did. Will try your deviled egg recipe. I'm sure my husband will like it, especially since it has ham!
