pink Peeps and olive oil

Easter
Like other brightly colored treats, the presence of Peeps in stores signals that spring and Easter are coming. The juxtaposition of the Peeps against the backdrop of the olive oil is a testament to the
Mediterranean heritage in my neighborhood. I personally prefer the olive oil, the grassier the flavor, the better. I have never been a fan of Peeps, yellow or pink. But they are cute.
The Swede and I do not have plans except for dyeing eggs and getting some work done in the garden (if it ever stops raining). I am going to use beet juice, coffee,
turmeric, paprika, and anything else I can manage to rummage up as dyes. I will post the results at a later time. Happy Easter to you and yours.
