I have never been able to see peeps as something edible. However, I've found that one peep + toothpicks + red food coloring = a more than passable St. Sebastian impersonation

*LOL* I *love* it.

I made the mistake of showing my son once what happens when you put a Peep in the microwave oven, and now every time we get Peeps in the house, he asks. And asks. And asks. *sigh* Well, okay, we'll explode a Peep...

Some time when you are over perhaps I will make the Melon Moose drink. Think bright green, served in a tall bud vase, capped with a flaming Peep. Oh, the humanity! Just goes to show, good presentation (and good drama) is just as important as good ingredients...

You don't fool me...you like blowin' up that little marshmallow fella' don't cha?

Your Melon Moose sounds good, and given my penchant for peep cruelty - seems right up my alley.

Um, well, er...it's a fair cop. Which reminds me, lylythe_strega bought me a pack of green Peeps for St. Paddy's, maybe tonight, one of them will make my son a very happy boy (it's worth cleaning up the microwave after) ;>

Peeps definitely run scared around this house...

speaking of fun with food, the icon here is of a party favor I mixed up for one of our (in)famous parties back in Maryland, New Years Eve 2000 I think. Start with a (clean, UNUSED!) litterbox, fill with Grape Nuts and granola, add some malted milk balls, some raisins, carefully twisted-up Tootsie Rolls...you get the idea.
