I am, alas, a little kid at heart. So when the Peeps come out at Easter, I am so excited.
Yeah, I know there are Peeps snowmen and Peeps this and that, but the REAL Peeps are those little yellow smushy chickens. No one else in my family will eat them, which is why they were so excited when I first heard about blowing one up in the microwave.
Not exploding one, although I suppose that could happen. I'm talking about enlarging a Peeps into a giant chickeny thing that looks like to could stomp on Hong Kong like Godzilla. We've experimented and in my microwave, 15 seconds is about the right length of time.
My neighbors no longer ask what we're doing. They pull up a chair and watch after the Easter when, once the feast was finished, we dropped Mentos in all sorts of diet pop to see which was the most dramatic. (Our conclusion: A two-liter of DietRite.)
You'd think, having become a woman of a certain age, I'd leave these experiments to the kids. Yeah, right. I'm going to keep on trying out all the weird stuff people suggest until either a) I check into the old folks home or b( the handsome, sexy royal prince who arrives to carry me away suggests that I leave up to the servants.
Enjoy your Easter goodies!
