Hello Miss Kim! This dish was well-dressed! The slam dunk was the descriptive usage of white orb for eggs...how creative, poetess. And the ending was right up my alley---you are right, the Won't Last Long so EAT! lol. Congrats on this winning delight. Thanks for supporting my contest. I am still a novice but I can sense beautiful poetry! Luv, Gwendolen

Tasty write, Kim - I've never tried these and have often wondered what they were, exactly

I LOVE THESE, Kim. Sadly, at MY house, they do not go fast. Only I and my daughter seem to like them!! You came up with a great and original theme for this contest. I hope the judge loves those deviled eggs too!
