Karla celebrated Easter by drawing a picture for me to use on my blog. I hope you enjoy it!

Karla's Happy Easter Greeting

Of course, one of our all-time Easter activities chez Freberg is consideration of the world of Peeps. Some years ago, Karla also animated an exploding Peep. I suppose some explanation of that is required. I have always been fond of the Peep Research website, which demonstrates really good science with the exception of ethical treatment of peep participants. So after viewing the site, Karla was inspired for her animation:

Poor Peeps!

This year, Mr. F entered the fray with his own Peeps contribution–Peeps Sushi from Serious Eats. Instead of rice, they use Rice Krispy treats, and fruit roll is substituted for seaweed.  They also feature a Peeps Pizza.  Hmm, I think I’ll pass!

Melody, I consider synesthesia a gift…hearing the sound of a rainbow just sounds poetic to me. I’m jealous!

I think the idea is a cute, but I don’t understand why our society would want to feed children such an unhealthy treat. When searching the ingredients in peeps I stumbled upon this list:

Peep Ingredient
Sugar, Corn Syrup, Gelatin, contains Less than 0.5% of the Following Ingredients: Potassium Sorbate (a Preservative)Artificial Flavors, Yellow No. 5 (Tartrazine)Carnauba Wax.

yum. sounds healthy to me.
