Egg #50: Martha's Egg Salad

In Louise Erdrich's novel The Beet Queen, there is a character famous for her odd Jell-O mold concoctions. Mary puts all sorts of ingredients into the Jell-O salads, including "walnuts or chopped celery, macaroni, onions, miniature marshmallows, or, worst of all, sliced radishes." There is some tension between Mary and another character in the novel - Dot - regarding Dot's daughter, who is Mary's niece. Dot decides to express her discontent with Mary by making a parody of Mary's salad for an event. She concocts a Jell-O mold full of nuts and bolts and other hardware and tapes Mary's name to the dish.
