I like getting things for free, I’ve said it before and I’ll damn well say it again. I love the idea of having to put in minimal or no effort to be rewarded with something I obviously don’t deserve if I can’t afford it myself.
On a routine basis I enter a week-load of competitions and [...]
Since I was a little kid I can remember my mum making us bread and butter pudding for dessert; not to be confused with bread pudding which is more cakey.
The bread pudding recipe seemingly passed down from her mother and with very little change, at times it seemed like they were still following ration book provisions of [...]
I thought it would be interesting to look at the things I learnt and how things developed during my multitude of Easter posts, mainly in explanation, apology and to avoid having to write about chocolate again. Hopefully, this may be of insight in to how my mind works and might be a slight muse to someone [...]
As I said in one of yesterdays entries and the comments to another, I had a few extra top-ups to my egg supply, which I think warrant a little eggs-posure. These won’t be full reviews, but just a few honourable mentions.
The Lindt ‘Lindors’ chocolate eggs are exactly what would be expected, creamy luxury chocolate. Lindt is [...]
Throughout their life an Easter Bunny faces many changes to their size and appearance, going through a form of metamorphisis from tiny chocolate figure to anthromorphic representation of the Great Bunny. During all the stages, they remain a treat to taste and a glory to behold. In the name of SCIENCE and better understanding, and [...]
“Ugh,” thought the young Easter Bunny as he snuck through the untidy flat of a rather cheap blogger, “why can the ones without their own gardens at least put up a flower box outside to make this job easier.”Muttering and twitching his nose, he crept in to the bloggers bedroom and scanned around for a [...]
Overnight, all around the globe, the final layings and dispatch of the Easter Bunnies will take place. There will be hopping through hedgerow and flowerbed, garden and garage, as the cottonbummed descendents of the Great Bunny scatter their basketfuls of eggs. Some of these eggs will hatch over night, releasing a new generation of Easter [...]
I’ve recently covered toy eggs and miniature eggs, so really the only way is to increase size from there. Now, I’m not going to roll out the large scale Easter Eggs, unless, by some surprise I actually end up with some tomorrow, but I am going to go to the next size up. These are [...]
Today is Good Friday. Now, I’ve never really understood where the idea of nailing some pretty cheerful, kind-hearted person on a cross was ever considered ‘Good’, I reckon if you asked the person being staked they’d probably call it “A Bit of A Pisser”, and we’d be observing “A Bit Of A Pisser Friday”. Shops [...]
Mini Eggs are like the quail eggs of the candy egg world, small and flavoursome, but only as filling in vast quantities.
What most people don’t know is that the mini egg is actually a pre-maturely laid Easter Egg, one that has not had the necessary interpersonal interaction to make it full of sweet flavour. Mini [...]
A young female Easter Bunny and her playful demonic girlfriend in a tryst. The true story of how Deviled Eggs came to be.
I can’t recall ever eating Deviled Eggs my entire life, and it was only this year that I really bothered to look up how to make them. The thing that first strikes me about any recipe I see though, is how much work it seems to be to actually make these small things. In less [...]
A young female Easter Bunny, preparing for her big day, meets up with a short male friend on St Patrick’s Day.
True story: Today in WHSmiths I overheard a young mother telling her daughter “Be good or the Easter Bunny won’t come.” Now, there are two things that I disagree with the mother about that:
The Easter Bunny is not Santa, the Easter Bunny isn’t rewarding children as much as reproducing on a seasonal basis,
The Easter Bunny [...]
The Easter Bunny is well established as being a sweet, innocent character full of kindness and generosity. He’s primped and bowed, and on occassion dapper. He has a song in his heart and a good word to say, bringing light and joy to all those he meets. As well as chocolate, there are eggs that [...]
There has always been a part of me that has been drawn to the ice cream from McDonalds, it’s milkiness and texture always reminded me of Mr Whippy ice creams but without the threat of losing half of it as it dripped from the wafer cone. I used to be fairly skeptical of the McFlurry [...]
Because the Easter Bunny is smart, it knows that children can help spread its continuing worship and so has evolved its egg-laying over the past several generations to thoroughly snare their attentions. Children like bright colours and chocolate, and this was the first of the attracting factor used by the early Easter Bunnies, but what children really [...]
Easter was never really that large an observance in my family. We weren’t overly religious, so about the height of that element was that we might catch the last half of a movie retelling some aspect of Jesus’ life. We weren’t American, so there was no grand Easter egg hunt or Easter Bunny song-and-dance. We [...]
