Pinterest - somewhat out of date, but good "look book"

 

What is your favorite Easter candy?

This actually came up this morning. I have no idea if they even exist anymore.... Those tiny solid chocolate eggs with a speckled matte candy coating so they looked like robins eggs; also, the Whopper's version of same. Love Cadbury Creme Eggs, and caramel eggs, too. Reese's is also a safe bet (though always been fonder of pieces, but cups/shapes are good). Not a peeps fan. 

 

Do you like Jelly Bellies?

yup! Big nostalgia trip for me as I never liked jellybeans as a kid until there was a jelly belly stand at the mall as a tween/teen. I mostly like the fruity ones, but buttered and caramel popcorn are good too! I actually liked doing the combo "recipes" - no licorice anything plz.

 

Are you interested in some of my homemade brown sugar shortbread

I am a sucker for Sakura (cherry blossom) stuff! Otherwise, plain is always good!

 

For everyone else: Do you have a preference for plastic eggs, treat bags, paper, or no preference?

 Glad someone else said it! I didn't want to out myself, but I'd been trying to figure out non-plastic options. I, too, would prefer plastic-free 

 

Spring Chick o' Mine, I have a question about mugs! What are your general feelings on mugs/drinkware? 

 

I feel similarly picky about mugs/drinkware. I have almost no space for mugs/drinkware due to the. .. shall we say ... "collector" tendencies of my roommate and the sith.  Plus the sith broke my one good tea mug a month or so ago, and I haven't been able to find a proper replacement.  I don't like the standard coffee mug shape, or anything that's too sculptural (like molded faces or animals in 3D). I've been using my company logo mug, but it's more of a larger camp-side mug shape, which means it's too big, too wide and too short, so my tea gets cold really fast; but my only other one has metallic lining inside, so I can't microwave it. ugh.  My favorite shape looks like a slightly thinner ceramic/bisque(not glossy) pint glass with a handle.  As for glassware, we have so much that I keep my nice floral rocks glasses in a box in my room.  (sorry, a little touchy on this one, sith just bought himself yet ANOTHER mug, and the cabinet really can't hold all the mugs we have, which is 60% his and 30% the roommates. 😠 

 

Dear bunny, what are your thoughts on these

So very cute!! I like a lot of them! (just steer clear of any rodent that's not a rabbit or a chinchilla, please 🙂 )

 

Dear chick, would you be interested in any of these baked goods?

Matcha shortbread - yes! Love matcha

Hojicha shortbread - prefer matcha

Lemon scones - oh yes!

Lavender scones - no thanks

Lavender lemon scones - yes

Chocolate chip scones (made with Guittard chips) -yes

 

Actual flowers -  I have no allergies and love flowers

 

Dear chick, would you be interested in any cute Easter/spring-themed cookie cutters?

I don't guess there's a difference between a cookie cutter and the ones for pie crusts? I don't normally make cookies you cut, but I do sometimes like getting fancy with my double-crust pies, and some flowery-type cutters for that would be super cute!

 

Spring Tea:

I'm generally not an edible glitter fan, or teas that come with added sweeteners or "flavorings", but the Strawberry snap looks interesting, and it only lists granulated honey as the sweetener.  Other ones, Daughter's Rings looks interesting. Green Ginger Mint is generally a favorite flavor in other brands, can't go wrong with that.  I'm also almost out of matcha.

 

Extras (updated)

I just ran out of black garlic salt, that's always nice to have around.  And I was seed shopping in Territorial Seed Catalogue and was considering some mixed flower seed blend, like beneficial bug mix, bee feed mix, fragrant mix, or the shade mix, as I don't have a lot of full sun areas in my yard.
