It's Peeps time again!

[Lambchop]

It's that most wonderful time of year again!

I had some delectable orange cream Peeps last week, and I have another package stashed in my desk for tomorrow!






See more PEEPS!

I don't understand those orange circus peanuts either.

I don't understand those orange circus peanuts either.

Dense, dry, banana-flavored marshmallow. What's to understand? Great granny loves them.

I like Marshmallow Peeps, except that they sometimes pick up the taste of the cellophane.

Some people (or would that be "peep"le) have way too much time on their hands:

What's to understand?

Why someone would want to eat them.
To be fair though, I eat tofu. Frequently.

Peeps are only at their best if they're slightly stale. But when they are......oh yum!!

I can't tolerate the circus peanuts either. Very nasty, in my opinion, but then I'm not a banana flavouring fan.

And if the others here at Casa Izz were more open-minded, I'd eat tofu frequently, too

I wonder if the web sites are blocked so that only Americans can see them. I am not able to find the Sugar-free Peeps or the Tofu Peeps in any of these pages.

Shouldn't peep shows be on the Proc. forum. My wife likes her's covered with chocolate, ptasie mleczko, birds' milk.

To get the slightly stale taste to the Peeps, as soon as you get them home from the store, poke holes in the cellophane. Place at least one package of Peeps in one upper cabinet so you forget about them for months. Truly dried out Peeps are like finely aged cheeses.

Circus peanuts are only good for one thing. To teach children that not all things advertised as candy are good. Discrimination is still a necessary skill.

I'd take circus peanuts over peeps.
If I was hog tied and forced to choose one.

And here I thought this was about my favorite local unofficial, but reliable announcement of the eminent approach of spring, otherwise known as "peepers". We call them peeps for short.

Mind you, I'd never eat any of them, peeps, or peepers, or circus peanuts. I'm picky like that.

But I do like it when the peepers start peeping, as they have been this week. Gives me hope for warmer temps!

here they come....

...birds' milk.

How does one milk a bird?

Ptasie mleczko a candy that translates to bird's milk. Never heard of it, it reminds me of a Little Debby snack.

As a side note, I have always wanted to try to make my own marshmallows. That and track down the older recipes that used the Marshmallow plant as a main ingredient.
