Religious Festivals Edition
... Wherein we learn that Peeps sometimes are created and not just born ... and sometimes they're ready for their closeup. Do you hear that Mr. DeMille?
If you're not a Peep, uh, person, then we have four other homemade Easter treats you can tackle this weekend: peanut-butter chocolate eggs, lemon truffles, handcrafted chocolates and "Easter Candy." And if you want a real peeper, check out Three Chicks a Day. There's been lots of egg talk too, what with the poaching and the hard-boiling.
We celebrated the joys -- yes, joys -- of gefilte fish, pondered seder quizzes and matzo balls, and learned more about Passover celebrations north of the border.
In secular food news, while it may be Miller time all the time in Milwaukee, the home of the Brewers still makes room for beers like Goose Island. It's also baseball season and we wonder, will you be buying a $9 brewski at the stadium?
The Hungry Bride solicited advice on what pots and pans to choose for her new home. Hungry editors, meanwhile, who have been singing "Gimme That Fish" for days now, went off on annoying food advertisements.
Do you have true grits? How bout trying this shrimp-and-grits recipe in honor of the National Grits Festival. Or do you hanker for the 1970s and Aunt Evie's chicken stroganoff recipe?
Can't get enough "Top Chef"? Wait till June when Neil Patrick Harris -- yes that Neil Patrick -- and some "Lost" writers join celeb chefs like Hubert Keller and Wylie Dufresne for "Top Chef Masters."
Oh, and we tried and failed to beat a volcano. A bacon-filled volcano.
