Peep Holiday!

Ah yes.  Peep Day.  Most people know it as Easter.  For me, it's the day I can rip open a box of Peeps, set them out until they harden, then snarf 'em down.  
I got purple this year from Bud.  Only one box.  I'll have to make them last all week.

Which one should I eat first?


We're having a potluck at work today, and it looks like a sugar overload is in the making.  I am experimenting on my fellow co-workers, and making a vegetarian mexican casserole for us to eat for lunch and to keep us all from going into sugar shock.  It's going to be layers of corn tortillas, cheese, and a mixture of diced tomatoes, green chilies, and black beans. And spices! I don't think I have any corn to add to the mix, but if I do, it will be tossed in, too.  Then bake til it looks good, and serve with sour cream.  Too bad avocadoes are over $2.00 for one, otherwise I would make some guacamole to go with it.  I think we're also having fruit pizza, quiche, candy, brownies, and chips and salsa.  It will probably be the farthest thing from a traditional Easter dinner that I have ever had.  But really, as long as it keeps the sugar hyperness to a minimum, who cares?


The sun is shining--of course.  On the day I can't go outside and run!  And rain is coming Monday and Tuesday.  Since May is just around the corner, I can only guess Mother Nature is going to throw open the doors to Spring and bring in an extended period of sunshine and warmer temperatures.  


What are you eating for Easter, besides copious amounts of candy?  
'Cause let's face it--even if we're all adults, we still want our Easter candy.
