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.

"Consumers are shelling out more for a carton of large eggs as benchmark prices in California have gone up by 150 percent in a year."   That's no yolk.  In California there is a push to require all eggs sold be from free roaming chickens, and that effects price as well.  I wonder, what came first -- freedom or the chicken?      news
