### A Nostalgic Family Memory:
Growing up, deviled eggs were a staple at every family gathering, from Easter brunches to summer barbecues. However, it wasn’t until a particularly memorable Thanksgiving at my grandmother’s house that I first encountered the luxurious version featuring crabmeat. I vividly remember the excited chatter in the kitchen as my grandmother, with her ever-present apron, enlisted my help to meticulously fill each egg half with the creamy crab mixture. The air was filled with the aroma of freshly squeezed lemon and the subtle, briny scent of crab.
As we carried the platter to the dining table, I felt a surge of pride watching each family member reach eagerly for an egg. My grandfather, always one for theatrics, dramatically declared it the best appetizer of the year, much to the delight of my grandmother. It was in those moments, surrounded by love and laughter, that I learned food is not just about sustenance but about creating memories that linger long after the plates have been cleared.
