The story: “Bernice Stanley was our neighbor across the street when we used to live in Fayette County. This was back in the 1970s and ’80s. My husband and I worked for Delta at the time; he was a pilot, I was a flight attendant. When we started having kids, it was difficult, because we’d be traveling all the time either across or out of the country. So Mrs. Stanley said to us that she’d watch the children for us. ... She had her own grandchildren but pretty soon our kids started calling her Grandma Stanley. And she fed them like they were her own. One of their favorites was deviled eggs. ... My kids loved them. ” -- As told to Rosalind Bentley
Grandma Stanley offers a simple recipe that she would mix as she went along. We added specific amounts to make it easier to prepare. Also, in place of the pickle relish, you can substitute 2 tablespoons chopped sun-dried tomatoes or chopped ham.
