Minecraft - 1.8 Update

So, Notch is going to release an update for Minecraft.  When?  Right around the time of the Minecon Convention.  So, it'll be a couple months yet.  At the same time, not everything is really confirmed in the release.  What is confirmed?  Well, here's a list of things below.

• New Biome Code (Confirmed biomes: Large cliffs, Mountains, Islands, Canyons)
• Snow is now covered over the whole cubic block to look more realistic?
• Creative Mode (That mode will allow flying without mods both in SSP and SMP.)
• New Mobs! (Confirmed Mobs: Endermen)
• New lighting system.
• Rivers
• Food eating w/ animation.
• Skills
• Experience orbs.
• Hunger
• New HUD. (Whats new: Hunger bar, skill bar)
• Randomly generate mineshafts.
• New title menu background.
• Volcanoes will not be in 1.8, but Notch confirmed they are possible and could be coming in the future.
• Biomes will be much more distinct, and rivers will separate some of them.
• Endermen will have a two block reach and will teleport to attack you when you move your crosshairs off of them. They do, however, have a major weakness: Water. If you can lure them into chasing you into water they die off fairly quickly. They will also collect blocks to make geometric shapes. They are considered rare.
• Silverfish is some sort of new random mob.
• Oceans are much larger and with randomly dotted islands.
• Rain has been improved, “like a thousand times better” according to Notch.
• NPC Villages are ready to go, but not the characters themselves, they will be released down the road. They will be peaceful and leave you alone unless you attack one. Sort of like Zombie Pigmen in the Nether.
• Speaking of the Nether, there will be no updates for the Minecraft underworld just yet, but there will be at some point in the future.
• Lava and torches will have new lighting effects, and in possibly one of the most exciting updates, torches will give off light in your hand while holding it.
• Zombies will now drop rotten flesh as opposed to feathers (which never really made sense, anyway).
• Bows & Arrows have new animations, and charged arrows will have a lot more power and fly further.
• You’ll finally be able to grow pumpkins thanks to seeds.
• Melons have been added and can also be grown in farms.
• You will now have a Hunger Bar on your HUD. The more you sprint, the hungrier you get.
• There is now an animation for eating, and it also takes a few seconds now instead of being instantaneous.
• Tables. Finally … tables. No more just placing a wooden block and making people think it’s a table.
• Glass panes will be super thin glass and you can remove them unlike glass blocks.
• “Dead Mine Shafts” will be randomly generated like Dungeons and will feature rails, torches and wooden pillars.
• New Creative Mode will allow you to fly, hover, instantly destroy blocks – including Bedrock – and spawn items in unlimited numbers.
• You will be able to pull up a menu and just click on the items you wish to create. Admins will be able to turn this on and off.
• Killing animals and mobs will now drop Experience Orbs, and you gain skill points by filling up your XP bar, but you can’t do anything with those points … yet.
• Due to the number of updates, 1.8 updates may come in parts. (i.e. 1.8.1, 1.8.2)

  This is quite exciting and there are a number of useful features in this.  First, we'll start with the biomes.  Biomes that are separated by rivers, now that's something new to the game that will make it more interesting.

Creative mode and the fact that you'll be able to have every item at your disposal is an awesome feature for Minecraft.  No longer will you have a need for the TooManyItems mod.  I mean, if you want to go into adventure mode, why do you really need it?  This is great for those who want to join the game and just build.

Endermen, I'm not sure how I feel about these at the moment.  The fact that they do have a weakness, makes it even more interesting.  I just hope I'm not in the middle of a Desert when I run into one of them.

Oceans will be larger and randomly dotted with Islands?  This opens up a whole new level of Gameplay.  So, who wants to be a Pirate?  Anyone?  Join my crew?

Rotting Flesh from Zombies?  What is that uses for anyway?  A mask you can wear in the Nether?

The NPCs feature will be epic.  I can see the potential of this now.  Lot's of adventures in Minecraft to be had now.  As though there wasn't enough to do right?  Still, going to be awesome.

Charged Bows and new achievements will bring a slight fun factor to Minecraft.  This is going to be interesting.  I imagine it being sort of like the Charged Sword attack in Zelda.

New animations for eating?  I'm not sure how I feel about this one.  I mean, why not leave it the same.  Unless Notch wants to make it a little harder to play.  Maybe he thinks we have it too easy?

The Dead Mine Shafts will be a site to see.  This will add a new scary factor to Minecraft.  Yet another way to creep people out.  Just make sure you don't get too scared when that Zombie jumps out from around the corner.

XP Bar.  While this is an interesting feature, it'll be interesting to see how it plays out.  Will there be magical skills that you can purchase as upgrades so to speak?  That would be awesome.

This has been my epic review of the Minecraft 1.8 update features.  Hope you enjoyed it.  There are some things that aren't set in stone yet, but we'll have to wait and see what comes out when it finally comes.  There is however going to be a couple of other features, such as Floating Islands and Baby Animals that you can supposedly tame and train.  Good luck on your Minecraft Adventures and look toward the future.

Otter Chases KId - Quite Comical Actually

Have you seen that video of the kid running around and the otter chasing after the kid?  It's kind of funny really.  If you haven't seen it yet, then you're missing out.  At first, I was like, WTF?  Then Half way through I was like, LoL.  So, here's the video for you.  Have a good laugh.

Fried Dr. Pepper Ribs

Fried Dr. Pepper Ribs?  Who wouldn't want to try them?  I mean, seriously, Dr. Pepper and Ribs.  What's to lose?  This actually sounds really good to me.  I'm going to have to try this some time.


Website for this recipe and more.  Chili Cheese Fries

INGREDIENTS:

For the ribs and rub

• 2 full racks pork spare or baby back ribs, silverskin removed
• 4 tablespoons smoked paprika
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
• 1 tablespoon ground cumin
• 1 tablespoon coriander
• 1 tablespoon herbs de provance
• 2 tablespoon kosher salt
• 1 tablespoon fresh ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar (substitute brown sugar)
• 1 can of Dr Pepper
• 2 cups peanut oil

For the Sauce

• 2 cans Dr Pepper
• 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce (found in the Asian sections in most super markets)
• 4 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
• 3 – 4 drops Sriracha sauce

PREPARATION:

1. Mix the dry rub ingredients together and rub into the racks of ribs on both sides. Marinate in the fridge for at least 4 hours, or preferably, over night.
2. Preheat oven to 325°F. Place the ribs on a wire rack in a roasting pan then pour a can of Dr Pepper into the bottom of the pan. Cover with foil and cook for 1 1/2 hours. At this point check to see if the meat easily pulls away from the bone. You will most likely need to cook them for about another 30 minutes but this all depends on your oven. Just make sure to get them nice and tender.
3. Meanwhile let’s make the sauce. Reduce the 2 remaining cans of Dr Pepper in a medium saucepan over high heat to about 1/2 cup. It will be just a bit syrupy. Remove from heat and stir in the remaining sauce ingredients.
4. When the ribs are done and somewhat cooled, cut into individual ribs and transfer them to a large bowl. Add about 1/3 of the sauce mixture and gently toss the ribs to coat them with the sauce.  I say gently because if you were successful at getting them super tender, they will break apart if you are too aggressive with them now. Heat the peanut oil in a large pot over medium heat. Just hot enough to gently fry the ribs to crisp them up a bit. Fry each rib separately because they crisp up very quickly. About 5 – 6 seconds per side then transfer to paper towels to drain. Next return the fired ribs to the bowl and add another 1/3 of the sauce and gently toss again. Serve warm along with the remaining sauce for dipping.
Serves 2 – 4

Proof Girls Are Evil

Proof Girls Are Evil.  Enough said.  I found this hilarious and had to share it.

Easy, Simple, Dip

I've found an awesome Dip that I want to share with people.  This dip is really great.  Very tasty.  Not something you'd want to eat a  lot of while on a Diet.  You'll definitely want to eat this with moderation highly in mind.  One other thing, it's easy to make.  Here's what you'll need.

Ingredients:
1 pound ground mild beef.  Jimmy Dean or your preferred brand.
1 can of Rotel tomatoes.  Or any can of diced tomatoes you'd like to use.
2 packages of Cream Cheese.  8oz.  You can use 1 package of 16oz if you wish.

Directions are rather easy too.  Here's what to do.

Directions:
1 - Brown 1 pound of Ground Beef.
2 - While the pan is hot, add the Cream Cheese, then cook it into the ground beef.
3 - Add the can of Tomatoes, then turn off heat.  Done.
4 - Serve.

I find that this is best served heated.  Great reheated too.

Family Reunions

I'm at my cousins house, but that's not going to stop me from producing content.  I have a family Reunion coming up and I was wondering what you guys like about them.

So, what do you like about family Reunions?  Me, I happen to like being able to spend time with my cousins and little cousins.  It's fun to be able to spend time with your family that you don't get to see that often.  The food is awesome.  Most of the time, the way our Family Reunions work, is we generally have a pot luck style get together where everyone brings a dish.  Sometimes someone brings two dishes.  Depending on how much work they want to do and what the feel like making.  Just the thought alone of getting together and spending time with people you don't get to that often, regardless of how old they are, is an awesome thought.  Especially if you like those people.

What kind of food do you look forward to seeing at Get Togethers.  I love to see Banana Pudding.  I know, for someone who is trying to get a six pack, it's not the greatest thing to eat.  We have to keep in mind though, that everything in moderation.  When it comes to food at least.  Sure, some things we should steer clear of.  Like, greasy foods.  Family Reunions doesn't mean you have to indulge   The whole point of a family reunion is the fact that we get together and spend time with our family.  We should spend time with our family anyway.  At least the ones that we can.

One final question.  Do you ever bring friends to your Family Reunions or get togethers?  I have yet to do that myself, but I'm sure I would, if my friend was bored, or didn't have anything else to do.

Empire Avenue - Full Strategy

Everyone on Empire Avenue seems to have a different strategy.  While some strategies share things in common with others, I thought I would share my own strategy for investing on EAv.

First off, let me start by saying that there are three different types of investors on Empire Avenue.

First type of EAv player is the Connector.  The Connector is the kind of player who really doesn't care about the game much at all and staying active.  All they really care about is making connections and making new friends.

Second type of EAv player is the Investor.  These are the players who focus more on being a good investor than being a good investment.  These people may have a good Netwealth, but have a crappy Return On Investment, or commonly known as ROI, which we will be using here on out.

Third type of EAv player is the Investment.  The Investment players have a strong focus on being a good Investment.  In other words, these are the players that are creating content, but not always so.  They usually have a good ROI and their stock prices are usually pretty high, or steadily climbing.

You don't really need to know much to be the first type of player, but for the other two, you need to know how the game works.  So, I'm going to give you a bit of a strategy that you can use to be one of two types of players, the Investor or the Investment.

Like I said, first off, you have to know how the game works.  EAv calculates your top five scores and that total along with your shareholders activity, determines your ROI.  Usually anyone that has a ROI of a 1% or better, is usually a good investment.  Some people will say at least 1.3% or 1.5%.  Everyone has their own strategy.  The question is, how do you increase your shareholders and activity?

First off, you have to connect all of your accounts.  Except for the Facebook Fan Page.  Most people don't have them to begin with, or have no reason to have one.  Next, connect your blog or two, or three.  How ever many blogs you feel comfortable using.  Many people connect Tumblr as a blog, it's in the works for Tumblr to have it's own connection.  Next, complete your profile and add a BIO.  People want to know who they are connecting with.  Finally, add a profile picture.  Sad to say, but a lot of people will not invest in you if you don't have a Profile Picture.  It can be an Avatar, as long as it represents you.

Step one is done now.  Now what?  It's time to get active.  Join a few communities.  I recommend at least 2-3 communities to start off with.  Their much more manageable that way.  When you get used to the working of the game, you can increase to 5-8 communities if you wish.  I currently have 2 City, 5 Interest, and 5 Personal community connection.  I may or may not increase that number.  I feel comfortable where I'm at right now.  Once you've joined those  communities, get active.  Read post.  Thumbs up the post.  Reply to them.  You don't have to read every single post in that community.  You can if you want.  But, I recommend at least the first page of them for starters.  Don't want to be over whelmed.

Ok, I'm active in the communities, now what?  Next step is to change your status.  Change it frequently.  You don't have to change it every hour like some people do.  After you start receiving shout outs on your home page, start giving a Thumb up to those.  The more active you are, the more people will notice you.  The more people will Thumb Up you.  This activity produces dividends.  After about a week, you should start to see advertisements.  Thumb them up too and don't forget to get your own advertisements after one week of play time.  Advertisements don't cost real money, so relax, just do it.  They help out buy factoring in the likes and click through rates you get on them.

Now that you're a bit active and your starting to get the hang of things.  It's time to start looking at who to invest in.  You can start to do this from day one.  As mentioned above, ROI is one thing to take into consideration.  You don't have to invest in everyone that invest in you.  That's a good way to lose some Eaves.  Eaves is the virtual currency of EAv.  We'll refer to Eaves as (e) from here on out.  Look at a person's ROI, if the ROI is above 1% on return, they are a good investment.  If you'd like to set your own standards, feel free to do so.  I'd recommend no less than 1% though.  If you've invested in someone and they've dropped below a 1% for example - if they dropped to 0.98%, don't sell them right off.  Check out their activity levels and see if they are still active/gaining in value.  Chances are, they just got a shareholder increase and can sell more shares.  This is a temporary factor that really doesn't factor in at all.

Next thing to look at is their gain.  These two things are easiest to look at right off the bat.  How much are they gaining?  I recommend people that are gaining at least +3 per day.  You can do less if you desire, but for quick returns, I recommend at least +3 per day.  Here's why, if the person has a bad ROI, but has a good gain, let's say +5 or better.  I probably would invest in them.  After I've checked their connections.  That's in the next section.  If they've been gaining for a while, and they're still affordable, I'd probably invest in them.  A lot of the whole Gain factor for me, is a combination of Connections, ROI, Gain, and if they have a blog connected.

Blogs.  Does the person have a blog connected?  If so, how many?  RSS feeds to such sites as Last.fm which are music sites, Yahoo Answers, and Wiki type websites, don't count as a Proper Blog Feed and won't count towards your score.  So, it's kind of pointless to add them.  Instead, a better strategy would be to link your favorite songs to a blog post and write a short paragraph on why you like these songs.  If the person has steady blog post on a regular basis, I probably would invest in them.  That is if they are a gainer and/or have a good ROI.  If you don't have a blog connected, chances are, I probably won't invest, unless you have strong connections elsewhere.

This brings us to Connections.  For twitter, I check to see how many followers they have.  If all of their connections only have a few hundred people connected.  Chances are, they probably won't be a good investment.  Facebook.  How many friends to they have?  How active are they?  How many likes do they get compared to their post?  Facebook Fan Page.  Same as Facebook.  LinkedIn.  How many connections do they have?  What about recommendations?  Flickr.  How many photos do they have on Flickr?  Do they appear to be getting comments?  Youtube.  How many subscribers do they have?  How many video views do they have total?  All this goes into factoring if they would be a good investment.  It takes time to find a good investment.  But, if you stick with it, the rewards will be great.

I'm finding good investments, what's next?  Well, now, we have to produce some content of our own.  As Chris Pirillo mentioned in one of his videos.  Use what ever equipment you have available to you to use.  If all you have is a cheap camera at the moment.  Use it until you get a better one.  You can find the Youtube channel of Chris Pirillo Here.  You can invest in Pirillo buy visiting his ticker on Empire Avenue.  e(PIRILLO).

What do I produce for content?  Well, for starters, try creating a blog or two.  You can use Wordpress, or Blogger, which are the two common blogs.  I happen to be using both.  One blog is for one thing, While another blog is for another.  Next, you want to grab a camera that can record video and get that onto your PC or Mac for uploading to Youtube.

Get active on twitter.  When you produce a blog post, tweet it.  When you produce a video, tweet it.  Don't stop their, Retweet other peoples tweets.  Talk to people on twitter, that counts as a mention.

Use Facebook.  Post your videos and Blog post on Facebook.  Often times, different users watch different platforms.  Chances are, you won't have very many people on all platforms.  Interact with your friends, so they'll interact back with you and like your post and comment on them.  Same for your Facebook Fan Page.

Perhaps you want to have a Facebook Fan Page that's a completely different topic.  That's fine too.  Just be active.

On LinkedIn, Join a few groups, be active in them.  Add connections and recommend people you've worked with.

On Flickr, take photos and upload them.  Simple right?  Comment on other peoples photos.  They'll notice and probably comment on a few of yours.

What is an Activity Score?  After two weeks of play time, all your scores are added up, and you'll get an Activity Score.  Why is this score important?  This score determines your rank as an employee on a certain index.  What index?  You get to choose a your index when you sign up for EAv.  The higher your rank, the more likely people will invest in you.  Not always. the case though.  Much still has to do with connections in those cases.

How are scores calculated?

First off and foremost, understand this, all of your scores are calculated based off overall activity on that network and how people interact with you.

Empire Avenue - Thumbs Up You Receive.  Comments you receive in communities.  Total Shareholders.  Total Recommendations you receive.  Likes and Click through rates on your advertisements.

Twitter - There isn't much to twitter.  Your tweets ReTweeted.  How many Mentions you get (how many chats you have with people.  Each mention count.)  How many followers you have and how active they are.

Facebook - Comments.  Likes on Comments.  Comments on comments.  Comments on photos too.

Facebook Fan Page - Basically the same as Facebook.

LinkedIn - How many connections you have.  How many recommendations you have.  How active you are on LinkedIn.

Flickr - This one is easy.  It's comments on your photos, favorites, and uploads.

Youtube - Many options here.  Don't have content?  That's easy to fix.  Thumbs Up other videos you like.  Comment on other videos.  Add other videos to your favorites.  Produce videos?  How many subscribers you have.  How many views you have.  How many Likes/Favorites you have.  How many comments you have.

That's basically Empire Avenue in a nut shell.  My strategies and guide to help you get started on EAv.  Hope you enjoyed it.  Comment/Share this blog post if it helps you.  If I've left out anything, feel free to let me know.

Most Epic Coffee Table Ever

I was browsing around and saw perhaps the most epic of all Coffee tables.  That is if you are a gamer perhaps.  So, someone actually made an NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) Controller Coffee Table.  That's right.  A Coffee Table that looks like an NES Controller.  Here are a few images and a link to the blog below.

And here is the link to the Blog.

I highly recommend following this blog.

Cool Wallpapers

I don't know about you, but I like to share things with people that I find that are interesting.  If you've been on the internet for very long.  You've probably come across some cool wallpapers.  I've come across some today that I'd like to share.  Here are just a couple of them.

This one happens to be a wallpaper from Debian

Debian is an Operating System.

You can find other wallpapers from

other Operating Systems by using Google.

This is the one that I'm using.

Mumford and Sons

There is a bad that I like called Mumford and Sons.  They rock, literally.  Seriously though.  They are awesome. They have a way to keep me awake at the wee hours of the night.  It's not joke.  If you like good Banjo music.  This is your band.  Thing is, they aren't only Banjo.  They are Guitar and Electric Guitar.  They are Drums and Vocals.  One of their tops songs is a favorite of mine.  It's called Little Lion Man.  I feel that the song is about someone you let go.  Someone you liked a lot and now you can't have them back.  That's the basics.  But, then again, how many songs are like this?  A bunch.  But, this one stands out, not because of what it means, but the way they have with words.  Their a UK band.  Which is even more awesome.

I'll warn you before you hit the play button.  They do use a curse word in this song.  But, it's used in context.  Don't judge it, before you give it a go.  Just might be your next favorite song.




I hope that you really enjoy this song.  At least half as much as I do.  It's truly epic.

Why I Like Minecraft?

Minecraft

What the heck is it?

Well, Minecraft is a simple, easy, fun game.  Well, that's not all it really is.  It can be aggravating at times, but which game can't?  No, seriously, what is Minecraft?  Well, Minecraft simply put, is a game based off Mining and Crafting.  Hence the name Minecraft.  The game itself is made up of 3D cubes.

"Oh no, 3D Cubes" (runs and hides).  Ok you sissy.  Run away, but your missing a great game by judging it by it's graphics.  While it isn't top "NOTCH" graphics, it is still a great game.  Graphics isn't everything.  I've seen some crappy games come from some beautifully designed games.  Too much effort into the graphics, not enough into the gameplay.  And if you like those kind of games.  Pft, I feel sorry for you.

What's with the caps lock?  Well, it just so happens that "Notch" is the God of Minecraft.  But, Notch isn't the one you have to fear in Minecraft.  Nope.  I think the worst thing in Minecraft, has to be Creepers.  What's a Creeper?  Well, they are Green things that run around and blow you up if you aren't careful.

..........Wait..........Did you just say blow up?  Yes, I did, but, they have to touch you, or you have to touch them first before they start flashing.  If you run far enough away, they'll stop flashing and won't blow up.  Thus is the tactic to kill them.

Hit, and run like a bat out of hell.
Rinse and repeat.

Why would you want to play a game where the whole purpose of the game is to Mine and Craft?
Well, that can be easily answered.  I'll admit, the game can be addicting.  But, with the right elements, any game can be addicting to the right person.  But, that's not why you should play it.  There are a load of crafting options you can make.  On top of that, they are always updating the game.  Once you buy the game, it's yours.  You can update the game free of charge.  What you can build, is really up to you.  I've seen some pretty creative things coming out of Minecraft.

Also, on a side note, you can host your own server with the game.  Create mod packs and what not.  The sky is the limit here.  So, if you are interested in getting this game.  I'd advise you to go to the link below.

Nicko's Kitchen Chicken Pizza

I have to say, I love Nicko's Kitchen. Just an awesome show on Youtube where Niko showcases some of his awesome recipes in video format. A lot of these recipes are easy to do. He's got Budget Meal Mondays, What you want Wednesdays, and Fast Food Fridays. What else can you want. What else can he share? Don't believe me? Just watch a couple of videos I'm sharing in this post.

Egg Omelet for Breakfast

For breakfast this morning, I made some awesome Egg Omelets this morning for Breakfast. Making a tasty Omelet is all about the Ingredients and Technique.

So, what did I use this morning for ingredients?

3 Eggs, beat them like you would beat Scrambled Eggs. 2 Eggs optional if you have a 6 inch pan.
I use an 8 inch pan for the three Egg Omelet.

Fresh Green Onions. You can use any kind of Onion really. About 1 tablespoon chopped.

Fresh Parsley. About 1 Tablespoon of that as well to make 2 Tablespoons of additives.

Salt and Pepper to taste.

About 1-2 teaspoons of Milk.

About 1-2 teaspoons of Worcestershire sauce.


Add the ingredients and beat the eggs yet again to mix the ingredients well.

Add a little Olive Oil to the Pan to coat the bottom.
(Optional). I like to add a little bit of stick butter to the Olive Oil and let it melt.

Make sure you cook on the right temperature for Egg. A low heat on about number 3-4 should be fine.

It's best to use a Heat Resistance Rubber Spatula for this. Pour the Egg mixture into the pan. Should be ready by now.

Let the Egg mixture cook a little on the bottom. Then stir it like you would cook Scrambled Eggs.

Stir is Occasionally until the mixture is almost all the way cooked. Then, spread the mixture back out into the pan, and let it finish cooking.

At this point, before you let it finish cooking. Is when you want to add any of your extra ingredients. Such as: Cheese, Mushrooms, Sausage. What ever you fancy putting in the center. Just remember to use small amounts. Don't over do it with the ingredients. I'll be harder to flip if you get too many center ingredients.

Next, after the cheese has melted. Fold it into thirds starting at the top. Fold the top third of it over. Work the bottom free and fold over the bottom. Or, fold over the top again if you choose.

Your Egg Omelet is ready to serve with Bacon and Parsley.

This is what your Omelet should look like when it's done.

Awesome Deviled Eggs with Bacon

Thought I would upload the recipe for my awesome Deviled Eggs.

First things first. Ingredients.
What you'll need.

10-12 hard-cooked eggs, halved, divided.

6 strips cooked bacon, finely chopped. (optional) note: can use bacon bits instead.

1/3 cup + 2 tablespoons chopped green onions, divided. note: I find that I like more green onion.

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley. note: can use dried parsley, but fresh is better and cheap.

2/3 cup mayonnaise. note: mayo is a too taste thing.

1/2 teaspoon of celery seeds. note: can be expensive. better off buying boxed sets with it.

1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder.

1/8 teaspoon of pepper. note: also a too taste thing.


Directions for this recipe:

Step 1:
With pastry blender or fork, mash egg yolks in medium bowl until finely crumbled.
Gently stir in bacon, 1/3 cup of the green onions and parsley.
Stir in mayonnaise, celery seeds, garlic powder and pepper until blended.

Step 2:
Spoon a generous 2 teaspoons of the egg yolk mixture into each egg white half.
Sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons of Green Onion. Note: I find that more is needed here.

There you have it. The awesome Deviled Eggs with Bacon recipe. I got this recipe from the Cooking Club magazine. Great resource for recipes. You won't regret this one. It'll be a hit at your next get together. If your family is like mine that is. They love their Deviled Eggs. The only complaint I got last time, was not enough of them. Should have made two dozen.

Here is an Image of the Eggs. I'll upload a better image hopefully the next time I cook them.
