Easter Candy, What's your favorite

It's all about the Peeps. Mmmmmm. Eat their heads first, it's better that way.

Someone said Hershey's which made me think of their Kisses which I can no longer eat because a co-worker from Pennsylvania got me turned on to Wilbur Buds. They totally kick Kiss's butt, especially their dark chocolate.

I luv jelly beans! Lots of sugar but very little fat!

mmmmm jelly beans


Gotta be the Starburst Jelly Beans. No Jelly Bellys. The Starburst beans aren't all grainy like the Brach's ones. They tast like fruit. B-E-A-utiful!

Peeps are #1, but are followed very, very closely by Cadbury Eggs.....

and they both go great with candied ham.

There is something I think some of you ladies don't understand. We are a species of hunter gatherers. We yearn to hunt for our food, gather stuff. Hence Easter egg hunts. We give our children the joy of competing with our fellow primates in hunting down and gathering eggs. The kid with the most wins! Never mind that Mom says it's not a competition. Ah, horse ! The kids are satisfying their basic urge for survival of the fittest. Kill or be killed.

*the women are scratching their heads wondering what this idiot is ranting about*

Ham!

Eating ham reinforces the idea that we are masters of the world, having dominion over the creatures that walk the earth. Men enjoy the idea of eating ham or steak or roast or venison or whatever meat you please. It satifies that primal urge. Although most of us no longer kill our own food, eating meat brings us happiness just knowing that some inferior life form's former flesh is being crushed between our teeth.

So, you see, ham is like candy. It makes us happy. It brings us joy.

Cadbury Cream eggs... Madonn' those are soo good!

To me, not even a close second, I prefer a solid white chocolate bunny. And it has to be good white chocolate. Not cheap imitation stuff.


If Mondavi wine can be considered an Easter candy, than the white bunny just took a dump off the low end.

Jelly Beans are my favorite!

Marshmellow Peeps! Yea

There is no question about it. Peanutbutter Eggs are my only choice.

Peeps and Hersheys,, both made right here in Pennsylvania !
I'm so proud..
Peeps have to be a lil stale..
Did you know you can make them joust?
Just stick a wee cocktail straw thru them..
and face them off in the Micro wave..
and hit start !

Now for Ham..
Todd.. you don't need to go buy a Honey Baked Ham to get that glaze...
What you do need is .. throw away that sissy kitchen torch.. and get a
regular hand held propaine one at Home Depot..
Make your ham.. I brine my hams in sugar and kosher salt for a few hours,,
Funny how salt , takes the salt OUT of ham..
you can baste with pepsi or gingerale for the first part of baking..
I do the score, half bake , then stud with cloves. decorate with pineapple thing..
and back in the oven,, meanwhile...
melt , brown sugar, lite karo, pineapple juice.. burboun if you would like..
on the stove top..
When the ham is done, take it out and let it sit maybe half an hour ...
THEN , while pouring that mixture that you did on the stove top on the ham..
Spark up that bad boy and carmalise that glaze ! it takes a little practice , but if you burn it , so what, pick it off , and try again ... this ham will put a Honey Baked to shame.. and its less than a quater of the price .. no its not sprial cut,but I like it better anyway .. try it sometime !

Ooooooooooo, does that ham sound good.

Thanks Richard,, and its easier than you can imagine..
some of those Ham stores, half a ham is fifty dollars ... sheesh ..
I'll slice my own .. thank you very much.. I can make the entire meal for a bit more !

In Service to the Dream,
Paula

Paula, watch out Richard is a Hamaholic! He goes crazy for ham!
