Just in case any of you haven't already seen this since Friday, here's a culinary link for the holiday: Easturducken (Easter turducken), though it's bunny-chick-egg instead of turkey-duck-chicken, so other names have been suggested, such as "bunpeegg". "Making Easter turducken is, fortunately, much easier than a traditional turducken, as it abandons all that pesky protein while fully embracing the empty carbohydrates and fat. While technically Easter turducken is a dessert and traditional turducken a main course, they should never be consumed in the same meal. That would be heresy."

And as an extra bonus, if you make it according to their directions you have an excuse to use a Dremmel moto-tool for cooking.

"Voilà, the loathsome hollow bunny is transformed into several thousand calories, as God intended. Many children wonder around Easter how it is that bunnies lay eggs. As a side benefit, Easter turducken illustrates clearly that this 'theory' is wrong. Obviously bunnies lay chickens, which then lay the eggs. Mystery solved."

(Unfortunately I'm no more likely to eat Easturducken than a Thanksgiving turducken, because Peeps are eeevil, but I enjoyed reading this bit of culinary engineering and am having fun imagining certain friends bouncing around on the resulting sugar-high.)

Having actually gone and *read* that thing, I now feel a compulsion to beat you viciously with a huge boffer-sword, but then, that's the kind of thing I do for fun anyway.

Can we come up with something we'd actually *eat*?

best,

*Giggles madly at the idea.*

I have zero temptation to make the thing (even if I could possibly eat it, what with the evil sugar and gelatin and bad chocolate) but I do love the sort of mind who could think it up.

I think I like the idea of the "Bunny Foo Foo" that one reader left in the comments. Although I'm not sure how Kahlua and Coca-Cola would taste together.

I'm not sure a Dremel would be my tool of choice here. Maybe with the miniature
saw blade (the grit wheel could leave behind, well, grit). I think I'd go at it with
my butane fueled hot knife. Then again, since I rarely eat peeps, my usual way
of using them is impaling them on sparklers, which I then ignite. It sparkles
normally until it reaches the peep, which then glows fitfully from within, whilst
melting and burning, until the flame triumphantly re-emerges from its nether regions and
resumes cheerfully sparkling.


Happy Easter!

*giggle* Not going to eat it because of the peeps, but it's fun to think about.

Locally, some of us process empty bunnies at the post-Easter bunny melt. Mmm, fondue!

Mmm, thousands of calories.

Also, thanks for the reminder that I should hit CVS today. It's Cheap Candy Day again!
