Not to derail the fish eaters, but I am an avid peep, and Robin Egg consumer.
I need more Robin Eggs.

Who's going to bring Lash a nice new box of peeps to the meet? I wont be there to oblige.

And isnt Lani a big peep fan? Or is that Adrienne? Hmmm...

What else.... oh chocolate covered marshmallow bunnies... eggs.. you name it.

I thought I had had really good halibut until I had it that fresh and realized I'd bee wrong all my life. It is amazing how quickly halibut declines to a still good but significantly less good state.

The rate of decline varies quite a bit from species to species (red salmon holds much longer than pink or chum salmon, for example)

I'm still not entirely sure how the thread got this diverted, but I must agree that fish, although it can be good later, is best right after the catch. I haven't had the pleasure of halibut fresh from the water, nor have I had most fish *that* fresh. My only experience is with trout. I'm not much of a trout eater, but having lived on a river, trout that comes directly out of the water, gutted immediately and thrown directly onto the grill is the only, I repeat, only way to do it. Otherwise, it's just gross to me.

And I probably just grossed a bunch of people out by talking about gutting a fish.

I don't think I've ever seen Lani eat a Peep. But that could just be selective memory.

I do believe that one of the Adrienne's is a fan (but not which one).

That works. I brought them to a pre-MA meet once. There was another peep afficianado there.

Not at all. To derail further, my freshest catch of the day is sweet shrimp at a sushi bar. The Sushi Master went behind the green curtain to the tank (but I could see) grabbed a live shrimp out of the tank, decapitated it, passed the head off to an associate for the tempura battering and frying and brought the shrimp out, worked his magic with the rice and wasabi, that was probably less than a minute dead and utterly delicious!

One carton of Robin Eggs is gone already! Not just me, but it attracted the swarm of fellow Robin Egg lovers, it's like they had radar!

My Easter Candy Rules:

Robin Eggs are the candy of the gods.

M&Ms, especially peanut (sorry iSm) are good any time of year, regardless of pastel coloring, so I generally abstain.

Jelly Bellys are good, except buttered popcorn. And I don't care so much for the caramel popcorn flavor either. Oh, and I don't dig on cherry. And I don't like cinnamon as much, though it's okay when in conjunction with apple. The best flavor is truly pear. But they're the same all year, thus, they are not Easter cuisine.

Peeps are okay, but no more than 4. Eating more than 4 can result in imprisonment in the bathroom for... however long it takes.


Actually, I'm getting sick thinking about this. :-/

I just finished off a pack of Peeps Orange Creme Flavoured Eggs - I like Peeps that add actual flavor. Standard Peeps have no flavor at all, apart from raw sugar. (For some reason, they remind me of the cardboard-ish taste of communion wafers, only more sugary.) I have had Cocoa flavored Peeps Bats, Vanilla flavored Peeps eggs, and these current Orange flavored eggs. I like 'em.

I find it amusing that the two major Christian observances, Christmas and Easter, have come to be all about presents and candy, respectively.

gak- they taste like those chocolate orange sticks. I hate those too- TOO much orange flavor.

Good. that is the reaction I was going for.

Now if you'll excuse me I must go have one for dessert.


Just because I sound like a giant pig i want it known that I bought a container of the bite sized ones.
