Peeps

Today I bought five small packets of foamy, sugar-coated, artificially colored and flavored candy Peeps. This is one of my Easter rituals and as sacred to me for this holiday as remembering Jesus Passover supper tonight and having reverence for silence tomorrow afternoon on Good Friday.

These wondrous sugar creations that melt in your mouth --or explode when micro waved --are of course best served a month from now when they have stiffened with staleness. If you need to speed up the process you can poke holes in the cellophane wrapper and sit the Peeps on a window sill for a few weeks. Doing that also provides an easy and festive holiday decoration throughout April. Try that Martha Stewart!
