[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 139819, member: 1233"] Well, I HATE jelly beans. I have to hide this, because my dad thinks he is being super nice when he comes out and gives us each 3 or 4 of the nasty things. I also hide it from the kids, who would go back with Gpa and come out with 1 bean for each person - then they got a few for them. IT was good to teach them to give/share with others. And it is working to teach my niece the same. I just can not eat them, not even one. The food color makes me migraine, and the taste, yuck! I AM a peeps person. Does that make me a peeple? My dad is a HUGE peeps fan. Back when they only had peeps at Easter (this year I saw them for Halloween, Christmas, Valentines, and for something else - shape was unidentifiable), I save my $$ and got my dad a shopping cart FULL of Peeps after Easter. His birthday is April Fools, so I gave htem to him then. I ask the kids what kind of candy they want: this year they got smarties, reeses, and starburst. thank you wanted Sprees, but I couldn't find them. We do a ham for most major holidays. I still remember going to my Gmas for ham, potato salad, macaroni salad, and other easy stuff. We used to just nibble for HOURS! She always had food that didn't have to be cooked for holidays. Stuff from the deli, a ham (that got cooked the day before, or in the case of Christmas, during Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve) and stuff from the bakery. Her husband (my Gpa) said holidays were for EVERYONE and HIS WIFE was not spending the whole day cooking. We continue that tradition in my side of the family. Well, except for my bro we do. HE wants/pushes for the big fancy dinner on Christmas. We ALL say no, even if he cooks it all we don't want it. WE want to enjoy each other, NOT watch him cook and hear all year about how we didn't help! Hope you have a nice Easter! Susie [/QUOTE]
