1999 Grand Prize Winner A Wonderful Chill, Eat, and Defend Scheme of Eating Peeps James_Rattan: THERE IS NO SEASON OF PEEPS Anyone can eat PEEPS in season, but for me the joy comes in August or September. PEEPS, like a fine wine, are best when aged. A claret bunny, or a fine yellow morsel chick, develop a crisp outer shell that is best when slightly chilled. Then there is the technique. I shop the Big Lots where I purchase my finer selections for 25 cents on the dollar. Box and all are chilled in the fridge for 30 minutes at 38 degrees F. I have a special knife I use for slitting the clear plastic. It makes a delicious sound when chilled plastic gives way, and the lucious sugar aroma wafts up from the box. Anticipation runs high, but I hold back. These are orphaned PEEPS. They were missed at the stores and each suffers a mild inferiority complex. I must decant their problems. I explain that they are loved and appreciated. The nose offers a delicate bouquet as they understand and bring their love to bare in my direction. Next I explain the Landlords rules, and the initial bite is delicately administered as each PEEP is neutered. At this point, they don't favor life longer, so biting off their head is actually a Kevorkian blessing. Now my knife, formerly used for the package, becomes a defensive weapon to make sure that no one else gets my PEEPS! Back To the 1999 Winner's Gallery
