Mom McCarty’s Easter Egg Dying Tips - Forget what the box says ….. Use Vinegar (it fizzes).
- Use Toxic dyes that penetrate the shell and give you colorful albumen.
- Always blow the dye before putting your egg in.
- Everybody only gets 3 eggs a piece, so don’t even ask for more.
- If you write on the egg with a wax crayon, it does absolutely nothing.
Kids... Here Are The Prime Hiding Places For Your Basket - In the clothes basket (will smell like sweat)
- In the milk chute (doesn't everyone have one)
- Stuck in the clothes chute (might have dirty underpants on it)
- In the clothes dryer (chocolate might be melted)
- In your fathers stomach
Marshmallow Peeps
We can't let Easter go by without saluting Marshmallow Peeps. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Easter basket candy. Very impressive. But I honestly can't remember if the Easter Bunny ever left Peeps in our basket. And I scoured the Internet but was not able to find the anniversary of the McCarty Easter basket staples: Grass and clothes dryer lint. I also seem to remember loose jelly beans. And there was a woman on Sussex near West Chicago who dumped loose popcorn in our bags. And she, wait a second, I think that was Halloween. Anyway, if you want to find more about Peeps, or even join a Peeps fan club for $9.95 (includes a package of Peeps, too). check out: http://www.marshmallowpeeps.com/50_anniversary |
