POD 02.25.09

And so the countdown to my return to London officially begins: it's Peeps season. And this year, they're on sale before Easter. Here's a fun game to try--take two peeps of two different colors. Place a toothpick in the 'beak' of each. Put the Peeps on a microwaveable plate face to face, so that the tips of the toothpicks are touching each other. Place peeped plate in microwave, and 'cook' for 1 minute. Your dualing birds will expand with the heat, and eventually, the toothpick of one will pierce the other, rendering one Peep victorious over the other. The pierced Peep will explode like a marshmallow bomb. Cheap and fun.


Every day I listen to at least one podcast from The Moth, a New York-based storytelling organization. All the stories are true, told by famous people or regular people, and they are short (about 10-15 minutes each). Some will make you laugh outloud, others will make you cry. They are all interesting. I think of it as 'This American Life', when i don't have an hour to spare. Subscribe to their free podcast! You won't regret it.
