This day had to come
Marge (opening refrigerator): Homer, didn't you get any milk? All I see is egg nog.
Homer: 'Tis the season, Marge! We only get thirty sweet noggy days--and then the government takes it away.
--The Simpsons, "Marge Be Not Proud"
Just finished my annual bag of Cadbury Mini-Eggs. Feeling sad. I'm purely a seasonal confection consumer, and the long string of sugar-oriented holidays that began with Halloween is finally at an end.
(pause)
Yeah, I'm behind schedule on the manuscript and needed a quick blog post. How did you guess?
Name your favorite holiday sweet, and make us drool.

n we'd place a hard boiled egg in the center before baking,and afterwards glaze and spnrinkle with jimmies. Yummm. My cousins and I still make the pizze, but the dolls are too time consuming.

Growing up we did all that stuff with making the baskets with Easter bread (which is sweeter more like Challah then normal Italian bread.
We did pizze, too. But trust me on this, it will kill you pocketbook to make it and then kill your arteries when you eat it.
Wafer thin pizelles...mmm...nice memory.
Anyhoo... in answer to the question from Jeri, CHOCOLATE COVERED STRAWBERRIES!!!!
Yum!

And I'd like to say, though this may get me exiled from Baltimore, Mary Sue Easter Eggs are overrated. Give me a Log Cabin easter egg any day.

My paternal grandad came from Calabria (a spit away from Sicily, FYI) and had light brown hair and blue eyes.
So, I like to think that I have some of that Norse blood in me...along with everything else.
Jeri give pizzelle irons???
Now THERE'S a contest prize!
