Easter

The Germans are to blame for the Easter bunny.  If you are even looking for someone to blame.  "Originally an 'Easter hare,' a buck-toothed bringer of chocolate to the kids that have behaved themselves was first mentioned in German literature in 1682." (story)    All in all, any tradition that ends or begins with chocolate, I decree as a keeper.  Enjoy!  Celebrate foremost, what Easter (click here lovies) really means to humanity.

Now they tell me.  "Eating 262 pieces of fun-size candy bars in one sitting could also prove deadly."   Sheesh.  Science.  Way to take the buzz outta on my Halloween hangover.      news

Alright everybody.  Let's just pull ourselves together.  If a chocolate Easter egg was developed to be called a chocolate Easter egg, it can be called a chocolate Easter egg.  "Chocolate manufacturers in the U.K. have removed the word "Easter" from the holiday egg candy . . . "   (Cadbury -- we're talking to you!)      Yellow can be yellow, Easter can be Easter, the desert can be the desert, Passover can be Passover, veils can be veils, and so on and so on.       news
