So, yeah, I used to be into Cadbury Creme Eggs. Now I'm switching over to Cadbury Mini Eggs. It's all about that crunch. Something about the contrast of the soft chocolate and the crispy shell makes it very hard to stop eating those Mini Eggs. If you put a bag in front of me right now, I would devour it Garfield-style.

Also, on the topic of Easter candy, do we have any Peeps fans in the house? I want to know what's going on with that.

I played hardball and the entire forrest paid the price. But in my defense, I didn't start this class warfare stuff. As far as candy goes, I also used to like the Cadbury Cream Eggs, probably because they were seasonal, and therefore somewhat special. But these days I'm really focused on making every calorie count, so I've allocated about 90% of my dessert calories to ice cream and the remaining 10% to helping friends celebrate their birthdays.

I have never had a Cadbury crème egg. They have always looked unappetizing. My husband does mini eggs, but I love Reese eggs. The taste and texture of the peanut butter is perfect. The milk chocolate melts a bit as you hold it... nom nom.

I chose war. Watched the mayhem and hopefully it’ll work out in the end. I have to say, you outdid yourself with this one. Very cool one.

I tried to get things done with the mayor, but it didn't go well. :(

I had a Mini Rex Rabbit named Pokabu for a few years - they're supposed to live up to 10 years. Since nature picks them off pretty easily, you have to get them spayed or else they get cancer there - unfortunately I did not get her it in time so she passed at 5 years.

She was a very good rabbit except when she wasn't. She was super super soft - the breed that they make fur coats out of.

They can be litter box trained and some like to cuddle. They're basically like cats so I wouldn't call them low maintenance.

I love me some Cadbury, but Reese’s eggs are my personal favorites!

And it’s funny, I might actually rescue a bunny this afternoon! Someone on Nextdoor (lol, I know) posted about finding one in the park that had clearly been dumped. She was going to call the pound if nobody wanted it. Real friendly little guy, and my daughter’s taken a real liking to the little furry things. So if this person still has the bunny this afternoon, I’m going to surprise the lil’ one with it!

Oh, and as for the forest? Burn, baby, burn 🔥

I allowed things to turn to chaos, and I’m OK with that. Anything is better than sterile, homogeneous gentrification. 

As for Easter candy, give me chocolate and Brach’s jelly bird eggs. Are used to love the Cadberry eggs but these days it’s just too much.

I loooove the mini eggs...but couldn't find any this year. I'm going to have to go online to get them I guess. My guy did get me some fudge and some sea-salt caramel chocolate so I may just nom on that for now.
