Perhaps a bit disturbing, but tasty!
I have not one, but two pictures that land solidly in this category.
Can you tell what those are toasting over an open fire?
Yes, Peeps !
And, oh, are they much better toasted than "raw". I know I'm not the only one with stale peeps lurking in their pantry because the neighbors all produced their own supply of Peeps for this neighborhood cookout. We were supposed to be making s'mores but these were way better. Let's just say the oddly colored sugar on the outside of the Peeps (they come in quite unnatural colors of dayglow yellow, lack-of-oxygen blue, and pepto pink), caramelizes into a wonderful creme brulee type crust around a soft sweet marshmallow interior. Yum. Although a little disturbing on two counts. First toasting cute little Peeps is a bit like biting the head of chocolate Easter bunnies. And secondly because you have to make sure to skewer the little critters up the long way from bottom to ears otherwise the weight of the Peep makes them fall off the stick as they melt.
OK...pictures number 2:
Distubring but not sure about the tasty thing.... We saw him her this dancing along Transit Rd in Lockport, NY on Mother's Day. Him Her It was quite a jazzy little dancer.
And here is picture just for grins:
No wonder they're closed. Clearly they don't know if they're coming or going.

Wow. The donut is early-era-Simpsons creepy. And that Allstate building is insane. Why not just take the first sign down? I would have had to go in and ask. If you give me the address, I might

You and Colleen are cut from some of the same cloth: she said exactly the same thing about the "moved/not moved" signs. It is in North Tonawanda somewhere....don't know the street we were on.

Peeps are a little more expensive than regular marshmallows, but they are definitely worth it for making s'mores. You can also melt your marshmallows slightly and then sprinkle sugar onto them to get a nice color and flavor like peeps have. Try it out!
