"Good idea: Finding Easter eggs on Easter.
Bad idea: Finding Easter eggs on Christmas." --Jack Handey (American comedian)
At my house, we hide plastic Easter eggs outside. Unfortunately, those eggs may be found months, if not years later. Sometimes this results in... deteriorated contents (to say the least).
In this episode, Judy and I talk about some disgusting forms that money can take, the perils of seasonal gifts for a spring holiday in Wisconsin, and the changes I've experienced in egg decorating and Easter candy/gifts.
In the end, we get into a couple of recipes--one for Gin slush that sounds A-MAZ-ING! "Sidetracked Slush" anyone?
We also plan a fun marshmallow bunny-making activity that you might want to try with your family.
Here is our "Sidetracked Slush" recipe:
Bring 3 cups of water to boil. Add tea bags and steep for 3 to 5 minutes. Discard bags and stir in sugar until dissolved.
In a 1-gallon plastic ice cream pail, combine the remaining 5 cups of water, sweetened tea, frozen juice concentrates, and gin. Freeze at least 8 hours or overnight. The more gin you use, the longer the slush takes to freeze.
To serve, fill a glass ½ full. Top with lemon-lime soda or tonic water. Garnish with lime wedges.
