NATIONAL DEVILED EGG DAY
A popular hor d’oeuvre or side dish for parties, holidays, family reunions and potluck dinners, deviled eggs are the star of the show on National Deviled Egg Day which is celebrated each year on November 2.Deviled eggs are such a well-loved food that special sectioned carrying dishes and plates have been designed for them and prepared and packaged deviled eggs are now available in some U.S. supermarkets.
Deviled eggs, also known as eggs mimosa, stuffed egg, salad eggs or dressed eggs, are hard boiled eggs which have been boiled, shelled, cut in half and filled with the hard-boiled egg’s yolk mixed with other ingredients such as mayonnaise and mustard. Other frequently added ingredients include: tartar sauce, Worcestershire sauce, diced pickle, pickle relish, salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, chipolte chillies, turmeric, vinegar, green olives, pimentos, poppyseed, thyme, cilantro, minced onion, caviar, cream, capers or sour cream. After the filling is scooped or piped back into the egg cup, it is often times sprinkles with paprika as a garnish. Caviar, anchovy, bacon, herring or jalapenos are some of the other popular options that are sometimes used as a garnish to decorate the deviled eggs.
The first known print reference referring to the term “deviled” in reference to food, appeared in 1786. It was in the 19th century that it came to be used regularly when referring to spicy or zesty food, including eggs prepared with mustard, pepper or other ingredients stuffed in the yolk cavity.

Daylight saving time (DST) or summer time is the practice of advancing clocks during summer months so that people get up earlier in the morning and experience more daylight in the evening. Typically, users of DST adjust clocks forward one hour near the start of spring and adjust them backward in the autumn.
The New Zealander George Vernon Hudson proposed the modern idea of daylight saving in 1895. Germany and Austria-Hungary organized the first implementation, starting on 30 April 1916. Many countries have used it at various times since then, particularly since the energy crisis of the 1970s.
The practice has received both advocacy and criticism. Putting clocks forward benefits retailing, sports, and other activities that exploit sunlight after working hours, but can cause problems for evening entertainment and for other activities tied to the sun (such as farming) or to darkness (such as fireworks shows). Although some early proponents of DST aimed to reduce evening use of incandescent lighting (formerly a primary use of electricity, modern heating and cooling usage patterns differ greatly, and research about how DST currently affects energy use is limited or contradictory.
Problems sometimes caused by DST clock shifts include: they complicate timekeeping, and can disrupt meetings, travel, billing, record keeping, medical devices, heavy equipment, and sleep patterns. Software can often adjust computer clocks automatically, but this can be limited and error-prone, particularly when various jurisdictions change the dates and timings of DST changes.
