Roasting of the Peeps.

That's right. Our Easter tradition now includes the Ceremonial Roasting of the Peeps.

Yes, we take those sweet little yellow sugar coated marshmallow treats, put on the end of a stick and stick them in the fire. But the cool thing is how the sugar caramelizes on the outside. Then smushed between a couple Keebler Striped Cookies and you have got a refined sugar buzz that should last until next Easter. (As long as the head doesn't fall off in the fire.)

It seems as if I should make some sort of profound analogy. Something about our delicate lives, thrust in the fire, returning even sweeter.

But honestly, nothing spiritual about this moment.

Just melting birds, dental decay and a lot of fun around the fire.
