Recipe: Spicy Primal Mayo Egg Salad

I decided to make this recipe after picking up a jar of Primal Kitchen Mayo over at Thrive Market. I’ve been meaning to whip up some deviled eggs, based on the smoky version at Lockhart Smokehouse. But this egg salad gives you more bang for buck–minus the smokiness. The ghost pepper chili flakes that I got from Trader Joe’s really gives this egg salad bite.  Despite that it’s paleo/primal, the egg salad passed the taste test at home.

  • 4 Extra Large Grade A Eggs, hard boiled
  • 8 Jumbo Grade A Eggs, hard boiled
  • 1 oz., Greek Yogurt
  • 5 Tablespoon, Primal Kitchen Mayonnaise Made W/avocado Oil
  • 1 tbsp, Spices, garlic powder
  • 2 tsp(s), Spices, chili powder
  • 2 tsp, ground, Spices, pepper, black
  • dash of sea salt
  • dash of ghost pepper chili pepper flakes

After hard boiling eggs and letting it cool, peel from shell and add to bowl. Use a spatula to break the eggs for a chunky texture. Fold in yogurt and mayo and continue to turn over gently. Season with garlic powder, chili powder, cracked pepper, sea salt, and ghost chili pepper.

If I were to add more protein to this egg salad, it would be ham or bacon. Or better yet, smoked brisket.

Yields about 30oz total, 2oz per serving.

Free hosting: getting nowhere with GBFreehosting.com

My search for free web hosting services landed me at GB Free Hosting. An initial review of their service looked promising: nicely populated FAQ, relatively good English, recent updates (as of 2015), and reasonable terms of service.

Unfortunately, from the moment I signed up to the time I attempted to access my hosting space, my experience has been far from superlative.

I encountered significant delays getting my sign up confirmations. When my account activation did finally arrive, it took some time to navigate their customized control panel looking for FTP information. Attempting to then use the FTP info resulted in refused connections.

I then attempted to reach their support by submitting a ticket through their control panel interface. To this day, the ticket has remained in Open status, presumably ignored. I also tried sending an email through their website contact form, which most likely fell into a black hole.

A registration lookup for the domain reveals an administration contact located in Islamabad, Punjab, through the GoDaddy registrar. Based on ping tests, the website itself is hosted somewhere in Bulgaria. Various reputation review sites ranks the domain gbfreehosting.com as risky and low on the trustworthiness scale. The IP block trace to my account’s server IP reveals registration to an Amsterdam, NL organization but places the server possibly in Kansas, US. Further ARIN searches revealed that the server hosting is managed by Hostinger International.

Due to the convoluted, suspicious server trail and the lack of contact/feedback with the site administrators, GBFreehosting.com is therefore not recommended and should be avoided.

Has your online identity been compromised

I’ve recently become aware of a website that allows users to search a database of publicly announced security breaches and determine if their email account was exposed to hacking. If data related to the breach is publicly available, a user can enter their personal email address and perform a lookup on known breaches on the website.

While the information is invaluable to users trying to reclaim their online identities, the website also collects data as to the nature of data breaches, like what services are commonly targeted and the types of data that are often exposed. One common factor in some data breaches is the use of a single password on multiple sites and services.

As technology improvements “force” end users to surrender more of their private information, websites like haveibeenpwned.com highlight the increase in security breaches and the need to implement better practices and technology to secure our data.
