American? Italian? German? Devilled Eggs

When I searched Wikipedia for the origin of devilled eggs, I became very confused.  They can be traced back to ancient Rome but since then, they have spread around the world, with varying recipes and tastes.  The part I love about this appetizer is that you can put almost anything into the yolk.  I was making these for a party and decided to put Sriracha into the mix to add some spiciness.

German Schnitzel with Broccoli and Mushroom Pasta

 Whenever I make something, it usually never goes right the first time.  In this case, it was organization.  I recommend putting the plates in an order so that they can go straight into the frying pan once the pork is ready.  Look at picture two to see what I mean.  Or else, your meat can get overcooked or burnt very quickly if you don't watch it.  Schnitzel can get very dry very quickly so to counteract the dryness, I made some tahini sauce to put on the Schnitzel.  The pasta was nothing special, just some sauteed mushrooms on linguini.  The broccoli was steamed and dipped in mayonnaise.  If you want to make sure that your Schnitzel doesn't turn out dry, use plenty of oil.
