I got this recipe from my dad, who made it when Mom was either out of town or under the weather and not cooking, I don't recall which. (She was appalled.) The directions are a bit scanty, but "simmer until done" is about par for the course for chili, really.

Sardine Chili

1 tin sardines (plain)

1 can chili beans w/ seasoning

1 can tomato chunks

1 bottle tomato juice

1 envelope chili seasoning

Directions: Simmer until done.

I really don't know why some of these food holidays were picked for the months/days they were. I don't associate Deviled Eggs with November at all, but ok. (shrug) This is Mom's recipe for for them, usually served at cookouts in the summertime, or at Easter when she had to do something with all those colored eggs we made.

Deviled Eggs

6 hard-cooked eggs

3 Tbsp. mayonnaise

1/2 tsp. dry mustard

1/4 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. pepper

Directions: Cut peeled eggs in half lengthwise. Slip out yolks; mash with fork. Add other ingredients; mix thoroughly. Fill egg whites with this mixture, heaping slightly. May be refrigerated, covered, for up to 24 hours.
