Slow News Day

Saw a purple tree this morning which had dropped a huge bunch of blossoms in the gutter. It looked like a long purple river flowing down the street.

Which reminds me…Easter’s just two weeks away.

LPR and I always make Mexican Easter eggs, which are filled with confetti. The idea is you sneak up on someone and bop them over the head with the egg so they get covered with confetti.

Instructions:
Every time you cook with an egg, punch holes in both ends (One pinhole sized, the other larger, about the size of your pinky fingernail.)Put your mouth on the smaller hole and blow the yolk and white into a bowl to use. Then rinse the shell in hot, soapy water and let dry. When Easter time comes, decorate the egg as usual. Then push confetti inside the big hole and glue tissue paper over both holes.

The first year we made them, we took them to church to sell as a fundraiser but sales were slow. The following year I painted pictures on the eggs--blossoming trees, dinosaurs, strawberries, cats, and lots of rabbits--in cars, in boats, sunbathing at the beach, playing trumpets, doing the Bunny Hop. Every egg was different. After that we always sold out.

A song my brother taught me when I was 8:

Here comes Peter Cottontail
Hoppin' down the bunny trail..
Dead drunk!

We thought this hilarious.
