Yesterday was momentous for several reasons.
…I know… you’re probably thinking it has something to do
with my winning Carol-Anne’s “Annual” Easter egg hunt.
(And one would think I’d be a shoe-in for such a win what
with my super sleuthing skills and Matlock fan club membership.)
Although in order to win, you have to be invited and because
of last year’s fiasco, let’s just say I was both intentionally and
erroneously left off the guest list.
(I SWEAR– I had NOTHING to do with the disappearance of little Twinkles!)

What kind of Jew celebrates Easter anyway?
(Certainly NOT this one.)

But speaking of Easter and all of its acroutroments…
Imagine my shock when I learned that “hot cross buns”
actually exist! (For years, I’ve been under the impression that
it was just a song to play on my recorder.)

The photo above is a REAL LIVE picture of hot cross bun.
A hot cross bun in the flesh, if you will…
(Given to me by an honest to goodness [British] Christian.)

And sweet Jesus… Do they know how to party or what?
(And how to trump our bagel! Not that it’s a contest.
Although, I will point out that we get EIGHT [count them 8]
days of Hannukah to their one lone Christmas day.)

In any case, the bun in question has been sitting on my
counter in a Ziplock bag for nearly 24 hours.

I’m just a little confused by the whole sticky bun meets the holy
trinity thing. Isn’t it a little strange to be eating a piece of bread
with a cross on it? One would think that consuming a Saltine
regularly at church would be enough, but no.

I’m not sure why no one else has stepped forward, but I’m not
afraid to say it: The Christians Are Obsessed With Carbs!

I mean, come on people—Triscuits in church, cross-covered rolls for Easter! It’s pandemonium out there!

But, really… what can we deduce from all of this Christianity stuff?
Well, for one, Christians can’t be vegetarians.
(EATING the body of Christ?)

And second, Christ looks quite delicious in his various forms.
(Look at that roll… [Almost as good as Cinnabon.])

Although, why limit it to just crackers and bread?
Personally, I think they should branch out…
It could be more lucrative for them.
(Think South Beach, but with more religious undertones.)
What about a bacon, egg and Christ for breakfast?
A Christ-za for lunch? Or Kung Pao Christ for dinner?
Speaking of Kung Pao, Twinkles just loves her some
Chinese take-out. Although, it doesn’t agree with her.
(Too spicy. [Not that I would know. I don’t even like cats.])
