Just what DO you do with all of the left over peeps? Everybody gets them whether they like them or not. It is an annual rite of Spring at my sister's house to host a peeps-b-q. Fire up the grill and seek revenge on fluffy creatures that selfishly take up so much space in your Easter Basket. You can do mesquite, or southwestern, or marinade...whatever you like. Peeps-b-q.

OPIE, was alcohol involved? Lining peeps up the road sounds like something that would happen after a 12 pack or so.

Here's a webpage that some enterprising and curious college students came up with.

Ahhh, science!
Peeps are poorly equipped as fighter pilots, supporting the Supreme Court ruling that banning peeps from the cockpits of F-16 planes in combat does not violate the Anti-Discrimination Act of 1992. (Orville & Wilbur Peep vs. US Government, 1994)

Peeps should exercise caution when ascending after deep-sea diving excursions, as sudden decreases in pressure may exceed the structural integrity of visceral parenchyma.

This may explain the tragic demise of the Col. Lewis Peep expedition which attempted to reach the peak of Mt. Everest in the spring of 1856. It is important to note that these data do not exclude alternative theories suggesting that the group was devoured by a pack of diabetic mountain lions. (Schroedinger, Heisenberg, & Bohr, 1922).

That page is a hoot!

Twigeater, been there, done that on the Sierra Club trip last weekend. A gal brought Peeps to roast. Very tasty and such a nice way to kill them!!! LOL!~

HOWEVER... I don't know if it's due to the coating on them or what, they get exceptionally hot. Be very careful taking off the stick. The gal who brought them ironically ending up getting a bad, blistered burn (albeit small, they are PEEPS, after all!!! LOL) when she took one off a stick.

Mmmmm, squirt cheese. Apparently they discontinued my favorite - cheddar 'n bacon. :(

thanks lizs, maybe I'll skip the roasting of peeps. I don't want to send my grandkids home all burned up!

peep facts
In 1953, it took 27 hours to create one Marshmallow Peep. Today, it takes six minutes.

During their early years, Marshmallow Peeps were squeezed one at a time out of a pastry tube and the eyes were painted on by hand. Now, technology can create 3,800 Peeps eyes per minute.

Each Peep has 32 calories (160 calories per five-chick serving) and 0 fat grams.

Ughhh...who could eat 5 of those things?

Well, I've had peeps both "raw" and "roasted" and I have to say they're definitely better roasted. I also have to say unequivically that I HATE PEEPS!!!

No fat in peeps.. that is until your body processes all that refined sugar into fat.

Bull catches fire
By Venice Buhain the Daily News


Lucky the bull is lucky.

Despite setting his head on fire early Sunday evening, the 15-month-old bull appears to be fine, said his owner, John Sweet.

The near-distaster began Sunday late Sunday afternoon in Rose Valley when Lucky wandered too close to a burn pile. Next door at an Easter egg hunt, neighbors saw the bull running around the pasture with its head ablaze.

"The fire was shooting out of his mouth," said party-goer Dan Hamer.

Neighbor Susan Gann interrupted the egg hunt around 5:30 p.m. and called the fire department. Not knowing what else to do, Gann called 911.

"What are you supposed to do when a cow catches fire?" she said.

Cowlitz 2 Fire and Rescue crews were summoned to the pasture on Cunningham Road, near Rose Valley Elementary School. By then the fire on Lucky's head had burned itself out.

The fire singed off Lucky's hair, but the bull ate some grain shortly after the commotion and otherwise seemed fine after all the commotion, Sweet said.

"It just burnt his hair off," he said. "They're not like you and me, you know."

Well, I went down to get a Coke and saw a box of Hot Tamales in the machine. So, I bring them back and am enjoying a candy break and notice they are made by JustBorn, Inc.

That appears to be a neat name so I do a little research on the company and find out these are the bastards who make those damn Peeps.

Sort of ruined my Hot Tamale experience. They all taste like marshmallows now.

For a real fun treat, put a Peep in a big glass bowl and microwave the little bassturd!
It will swell up to a truly monstrous size.
Fun for the whole family!

So if you caramelize the Peeps with a brazing torch, does that make them fancy food?
