Sparky's got the winning argument there.
I can't stand Peeps. I don't know why. I like marshmallows, and god knows I have a sweet tooth, but Peeps? Nope. I think it's a texture thing.
Ouhh! Snacks! The secret to any successful migration! Who's up for some tasty fried meat products!?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

What is even happening?
The kids are already at school, and there are no witness as to what time I ate them. Of course I've left a written confession here, haven't I? I wouldn't put it past Owen to e-mail them. He's has a way with computers, I hear.
Okay, I ate one more between typing "as to" and "what".
Scott just said, "I hate those things. They skeeve me like mushrooms."
More for me!
Okay. I've eaten five now. I'm chewing the last one as I type. Do you think that's enough "food" in my stomach to take my head med?

The texture is what is good about Peeps. It's the contrast between the crunchy sugar outsides and the squishy insides. Otherwise, you're just eating marshmallows.

Thanks, Sparky!

There it is. That's what's gross to me.
Cindy, I'm sure you can take your med. Does it actually say you should take it with food?

You might want to eat a piece of toast or something first. Peeps are not, strictly speaking, food.

And somehow, I find them less cloying than regular marshmallows. Sometimes, it's good to let a Peep sit unwrapped for an hour or two (but not too much longer). It intensifies that contrast.
Cindy, I'm sure you can take your med. Does it actually say you should take it with food?No, but it tends to bother my stomach when I don't and I'm going to try increasing from 10mg to 15mg, this morning (3/4s of a whole pill). I didn't have much of an appetite, though (except for Peeps -- of which I could have easily eaten 15, rather than 5).
Hey, Ginger, how is your mother doing?

Sparky and Meara and/or Topic!Cindy please to come take the peeps, jellybeans, and salted cashew nuts out of my house. Easter's left me with a pile of Bad Things To Eat, a DH who tries to hide it on the high shelf that I can only see the underside of (but I do own a stepladder), and a toddler who asks for 'happy beans!' first thing in the morning. There is (oops, was) a bag of starburst jelly beans on my desk - bad thing. very bad.
and, yes - sox has shoooz. awesome ones. and a really awesome good cousin.
any/many buffistas in and around baltimore?

Too late. In the interest of science, I sampled some of the sugar remaining in the Peep box, to see if there was any flavor to it, or if it just tasted like sugar. It did not only taste of sugar. It also sort of tasted...yellow.

HAPPY BEANS! Oh Sox, that's adorable.

I was just going to say. So cute.
Cindy, you can still have a piece of toast now, if you're afraid it will upset your stomach.
I've had no breakfast yet, and man is this conversation making me hungry. Not for Peeps, though.
