I'd Like To Give a Shout Out To My Peeps

Okay, I have a definite opinion of Peeps. I love them. Specifically Chick Shaped Peeps. I don't care about the color so much although if I'm not hallucinating the sugars on them seem to have flavor, especially in the blue or purple ones. But I like my Peeps in a special way.
Stale.
I love STALE Peeps. I do not care for them straight out of the package. They are gooshey sugar blech to me straight out of the package.
Ah.....but Stale Peeps? They are stiff, they have texture. Stale Peeps are a different experience. They become chewy, like some bizarre fondant. I do love Peeps.
I just love them about two weeks after the rest of you.

I can't eat peeps. I may have blocked the specific memory, but I suspect that the reason I can't eat them is similiar to the reason that I can't drink Rolling Rock anymore.

Have you seen www.Peepresearch.org?

This is what Jews do during Easter. We find stuff for our friends while they are at church. : )

DEVRA! I want you to know that someone hit my blog by searching "DEVRA WANG".
I like to believe this is someone's name.
And thanks for helping us out while we're at church. Is researching Peeps actually PART of the passover ritual?
I'm totally impressed. Judaism ROCKS it!

I too love stale Peeps. I open the package immediatley and sit them by the window to speed up the process.

Oddly, I'm not a big fan of fresh peeps.

Well after downing 4 cups of bad wine in about 40 minutes, you would be surprised at the things we Jews do as part of our Passover rituals!
