As for the peeps, the husband's department decided to buy a deep-fat fryer ("because it was time") and conduct frying experiments last week. Deep-fried peeps got a thumbs down from pretty much everyone. The deep-fried twinkie was half-half. Some thought it too sweet, others loved it. Anything with mint had too strong a mint flavor post-frying (this would be Peppermint Patties and Girl Scout Thin Mints). Chocolate bars (like Snickers and Mars) were OK. Other chocolate-coated things (malted milk balls) had problems with the batter not adhering and chocolate melting into the fat.

All in the name of science, of course.

OK - so where does your husband work?? coz I want a job like that! LOL as for eating the salad to keep the meal balanced - good call *nods head wisely*. And if you made any berry doughnuts, that takes care of your fruit requirement! See...once again proving that doughnuts can be a balanced meal!

Lise: LOVE your rational for eating Robins Eggs. It's really sad when I KNOW they'll give me a migraine but I can rationalize eating them coz I have some Great migraine meds! LOL After all - they Are only available this time of year and if I Don't eat them, they may stop making them! ya know - public popularity kinda thing. So although it would be a great sacrifice on my part, I will endeavor to "save the Robins Eggs'!
