Guest guest Posted April 17, 2003 Report Share Posted April 17, 2003 Ya know, I have never liked the peeps. However, I know when I see the peeps that the cadbury eggs are out. And oh how I like cadbury eggs. Thank goodness they only come out once a year. Lori Owen On Thu, 17 Apr 2003 16:30:50 -0400 " K.A. Bachelor " writes: > It's funny...

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2003 Report Share Posted April 17, 2003 Just this morning I wrote to and told her about the centerpieces at a brunch that I went to today. They were made of Peeps. Now people are decorating with the stupid things!! I have to say that they were very cute and " spring " -y. I resisted them, which was hard knowing that they had probably been sitting out awhile and were most likely nice I stale. Had they been Cadbury Creme Eggs though, I don't know if I'd have been able to be so good. Only a few more days until Easter and then they stop stocking them. I just have to get past the after-Easter sales where they sell them for a quarter each and I'm safe for another year. For anyone who goes to topsecretrecipes.com, this week's recipe is for homemade Cadbury eggs. They even tell you how to make them with the yellow middles!! It was tempting just to see if I could do it, but I'm not even going there. To many spoons that I'd have to lick, and too many mistakes that I'd have to eat. Oops!! That one came out lopsided - have to eat it. Oops! That one doesn't have enough of a " yolk " - have to eat it. Oops! Now I have an odd number - have to eat one. ------------------------------------------------ Terry Mayers 5DollarHosting.comR http://www.5dollarhosting.com (877)-838-HOST / .... because it shouldn't cost a fortune to make a fortune!

Can you imagine the temptation of all the MOUNDS of candy in front of me. And I'm kinda compulsive too, so I had to first divide all the jelly beans, for example, according to color, and then put the same number of jelly beans of each color into each of the 10 baskets. (Don't ask, lol! That's just how I am). Of course there were some jelly beans of each color left over that wouldn't divide into ten. Like, 4 reds, 2 pinks, 3 blacks, u know. I had quite a pile of those going and all the while I sat there told myself that was MY pile to eat when I got all done. Decided instead to make up an itty-bitty basket for my therapist and used up all the " leftovers " that way--except for one marshmallow egg and one jelly bean, which made it into my mouth despite my best efforts at keeping my hands tied behind my back. Had some broth left over from boiling chicken the day before (I just add salt, pepper, and sage to the water when I boil it; it's great). Went and had a huge mug of the broth and that helped to quell the desire, finally. Carol A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
