Easter Remnants

Out on the boulevard, this morning, just outside the news office:



No, I didn’t eat ’em. Nor would I have eaten ’em, even if they hadn’t been lying (still sealed!) in the grass. Matter of fact, I cannot recall ever having eaten a Peep. But I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t like ’em, anyway, for this simple nutritional fact:

Peeps have zero (0) fat grams.

A few calories, though: 32 per Peep. And 40 carbohydrate grams per serving (5 Peeps), mostly from sugars (36 grams; there seems to be no accounting for the other 4 grams).

Most importantly, however: Peeps are not made of chocolate; hence, I have no interest in them ... except when I see a box lying, somewhat inexplicably, on the lawn. (Guess it would’ve been far more inexplicable if they’d shown up in, say, mid-August.)

: )

Isabella, lookin’ kinda goofy:



Actually, she was mid-yawn. And she is usually MUCH more dignified than that.
