A Present for you all:

The Traditional Family "Nuke The Easter Chicks" Recipe

No one in my family knows when or why this became a yearly Spring ritual. No one in my family remembers NOT doing it. However, we do know this rite could not have been done before our first microwave oven.

Ingredients you will need:

paper plates or paper towels
Marshmallow Easter Chicks that can sit up on their own (why bunnies don't usually work)
a microwave oven (the older the better)

1) Put the first marshmallow Easter chick on 1 paper plate or towel. You can experiment later with more than 1.

2) Put the plate/towel with the chick on it in the microwave oven. This first time set for 20 seconds. It will not explode or run off the plate/towel.

3) The Really Cool Part:
Hit start. The chick will slowly expand and look like it is breathing in and out because it will go up and down matching the pulse of the oven. Older microwave ovens will sound like Darth Vader as the chick moves in and out. (Lu-uke, I am your Easter Chicken.....)

4) Repeat until you run out of chicks.

Serves: as many people who actually eat the things.

Haus about we all give each other a big lovely huggle?

So, you have bunnies made out of Marshmallow?

Americans are *strange*.

granny kiss kiss, you rock! my partner is a huge peeps fan (the "just born, co." marshmallow candy thingys in the US) so we may have to try this easter egg tradition. Cheers!

edited to add "a fan" to the above and to say yes, americans are strange. but we have neither haggis nor wiltshire lardies to answer for.

I wonder what would happen if you put a Pontefract cake in the microwave...

Sod all, obviously. Put a pontefract cake in a particle accelerator and you'll be lucky to get a reaction.

I thought if you did it for long enough it might become antimatter.

This is so weird - I just helped do a piece on microwaving marshmallows for the paper I write for. I didn't write the story, I just showed them what happened to marshmallows in the microwave.

It's truly amazing to behold....

It works just as well with real chickens, but after reading the 'Cat Torturers' Art thread, I've switched to marshmallow ones.

Don't know how I missed this thread (oh, that's right, school and travelling and all), but, as an aside, for those of you with firewalls at work, may I recommend http://www.anonymizer.com? It gives you a nice portal to go to any place work has forbidden (I had a field day hitting all the forbidden sites back at my old job the day I discovered it) and has worked on most firewalls I've dealt with.

Kiss Kiss Granny, you are the coolest.

And Peresphone, you're the fucking bomb! You're in Chicago, non? I'll be here 'til end of May, and should you choose, I'll be happy to show you how to steal from The Man, should you deign to meet me. I'm a pretty honest person, but I have no ethical problem whatsoever stealing from say, Hallmark, or any other faceless corporate entity.
