So which one usually wins in your family? Take the poll! »Last Week's Poll Results: Which Part of the Chocolate Easter Bunny Do You Eat First?
This one wasn't even close. How do you not eat the ears first? It's like grabbing a drumstick and somehow not eating the big meaty round part first. In last week's poll "Which Part of the Chocolate Easter Bunny Do You Eat First?" ears won by a landslide with 85% of the vote.Our Peeps Diorama: Street Food Vendor Peeps
Inspired by the annual Washington Post's Peeps diorama contest, we put together our own to represent our love of street food. This scene is supposed to capture the Vendy Awards, organized by the Street Vendor Project each year to honor the best carts, trucks, and other curbside cuisine. Just like in the human world, in Peeps world, kebabs and ice cream are also big. Check out more close-ups of the diorama.Video: Peep Microwave Disaster
You know how microwaving Peeps makes them expand/explode all over the place? That's just in a standard 1000-or-so-watt microwave. What if you microwaved one in a 100,000 watt microwave? You better get the hell out of your kitchen.It's Time for Serious Eats Peeps Week 2010

And so, we did, and came up with a week's worth of Peeps action for you. Stay tuned each day this week.Poll: Which Part of the Chocolate Easter Bunny Do You Eat First?
How do I eat thee chocolate bunny? Oh, let me count the ways. Those long ears are just asking to be bit into first. Or maybe you go for the face region (usually defined by the protruding nose).

Take the poll! »What's on Your Easter Menu: Ham or Lamb?

Easter ham is a tradition that dates to pre-Christian Europe, when the pig was considered a symbol of luck. Both are delicious, so ham or lamb: What's on your Easter menu?...How to Make Chocolate-Covered Peepsicles
Peeps wands for everyone! Making Peeptastic crafts for Peeps Week is a lot more fun than eating them. I'll admit I'm not a fan of Peeps by themselves, but skewered on a stick and covered in luxe chocolate and coconut? Definitely better than eating them plain. It's also not a bad way to go if you're going to die a Peepy death. These Peepsicles use the stepsister of the Peeps family—the bunnies. Chocolate mousse bunnies to be exact; although after tasting them I don't know if there's anything mousse-like about them. The only skewer type items in the Serious Eats kitchenette were 12 inches long and so up the bunnies' butts they went. That and the crackle of the...Cooking Lamb Shoulder
Make Gina DePalma's Roman Easter Soup with lamb shoulder. Janet Fletcher of the San Francisco Chronicle explains why you should cook lamb shoulder instead of other cuts for your Easter menu or other springtime meals, labeling it as inexpensive, succulent (due to collagen and intramuscular fat), and forgiving (it's hard to overcook). She gives suggestions for what vegetables to serve it with, compares using bone-in versus boneless cuts, and shares a few recipes.
