Gadding About at Grandson Brooks' Graduation from UNC Chapel Hill

Grandson Brooks. 

Time flies.  Now my second grandson has graduated from college.  It was fun attending the graduation activities last weekend.   Brooks received his diploma from the Kenan-Flagler Business School at UNC on Saturday afternoon at the Dean Dome. 

Proud grandparents. 

Brooks and his diploma. 

Since I had attended this awarding of diplomas, I did not attend the main graduation on Sunday at Kenan Stadium, but I did go to the brunch at the DKE Fraternity House after the Sunday ceremony. I almost missed it, because when I went to the Friday Center parking to catch a shuttle, the shuttles had quit running, but luckily a Chapel Hill Safety Transit car came checking in the huge parking lot and rescued me and three others who had missed the shuttle. I got deposited at the Carolina Inn across the street from the DKE House. Wonderful!

All the grands were there, as well as many of Brooks and Zach's friends.  (Zach graduated last year from UNC).  The food was especially good.

The youngest grandson Tyler will be a sophomore at UNC next year, so in three more years we will be attending yet another graduation.  I'm wondering if granddaughter Grace will become a Tarheel as well.

Deviled Eggs for Cinco de Mayo

Deviled Eggs with a Mexican twist. 

I like deviled eggs, and I was inspired to make these today by Lisa Prince's recipe on WRAL. 

Ready to remove the yolks. 

I halved the eggs and put the yolks in a plastic bag so they could be mashed along with about a cup of guacamole, some Mayo, some sour cream and a bit of hot sauce.  I had never thought of mashing the yolks this way, but it works wonderfully.  Salt and pepper were added to taste.

Everything all smashed together.  Easy. 

Piping the mixture into the egg halves. 

After snipping a small hole in the corner of the plastic bag, it was easy to pipe the mixture into the egg halves. 

Ready for Cinco de Mayo. 

For some of the eggs, I added a dollop of salsa.  Salsa in the middle of the dish with chips and a bowl of chips on the side, and this is ready for tomorrow.

I couldn't wait to try the eggs so I added a few to my lunch today.  I have enough of the mixture to have Guacamole Eggs on toast for breakfast tomorrow.
