Kid friendly egg salad

Max and I made egg salad for lunch yesterday. Here's how we did it. 
Hard cook about a dozen eggs. These are our guinea hen eggs, which are
slightly smaller than chicken eggs.


Peel the eggs. This can be tricky with fresh eggs. Older eggs peel more easily.
Max is really concentrating here!


The peeled eggs. Told you fresh ones were hard to peel!

Mash the eggs. Max is using a potato masher that was my grandma's.
It's one of my most treasured possessions.

The rest of the ingredients: salt, pepper, mayonnaise and Dijon mustard.


Add pepper to taste. Max loves to use the pepper grinder!


Add two large spoonfuls of mayonnaise. Also add salt to taste and 1/4tsp.
of the Dijon mustard. Mix well.

Max LOVES to make sandwiches! All kinds.


Assemble the sandwich.

Eat the sandwich. Max's favorite part!


Those of us with more sophisticated palates like to add some romaine
lettuce to our sandwiches :)
