Re: [lace] Peeps bobbins
Ah, Twinkies. Bar shaped, golden cake on the outside, creamy filling on the inside. Produced by Hostess Brands, who went bankrupt, but in such a way that they are still around. Coming back to store shelves this summer. Like Peeps, things have been done with Twinkies. http://www.twinkiesproject.com/ And like Peeps, I've never actually had a Twinkie. Which probably makes me UnAmerican. John Mead, Tacoma, WA USA On Tue, Apr 30, 2013 at 12:09 AM, Jean Nathan j...@nathan54.freeserve.co.uk wrote: Now the question is What's a twinkee?

Re: [lace] Peeps vs. Stanhopes
All the notes, and I don't think anyone explained that when baby chicks hatch, they make a peeping sound! That is where the name for the Easter chick candies came from. Having lived on a chicken farm during WWII, when retired farmers like my grandfather went back to farming because of a shortage of food to feed the world, I was familiar with shipments of eggs just waiting to hatch, how they were warmed, and the sounds of chicks peeping. (People around the world who had their problems with starvation during the war probably do not realize that all our young able-bodied farmers were drafted to fight in the World War -- on both fronts.) Frankly, I had no idea that someone had decided to discontinue using the name of the inventor of Stanhopes. Since I often shop antique shops and shows for lace and embroidery treasures, my frame of reference will always be Stanhopes. Honoring the people who came before us has merit.

[lace] Peeps
'Peeps' are a marshmallow candy in the shape of little chicks. OK... now they make other shapes, but chicks were the beginning. They are shaped and colored cute but not much taste, and little food value. Originally seen mainly at Easter but now found in various forms all year. Alice in Oregon ... getting ready to be the program at Ladies Luncheon next Saturday at church. Am also decorating the tables with bobbins, thread, cover cloths, and hedgehogs. Lace and pillows will be on a display table. My talk is History of lace. - Original Message - From: Sue Babbs suebabbs...@gmail.com And now you need to explain to those of us who aren't American, what the peeps of Easter candy are?

Re: [lace] Peeps bobbins
Thank you for that explanation. I've always wondered but never stopped and asked before!

Now they have all different shapes and colors to include yellow, pink, blue green. They are now making them for Christmas in different shapes too. Hope this helps.

RE: [lace] Peeps and talk on History of Lace
Dear Alice, Your idea of decorating tables with bobbins and lace equipment is a great idea to set the theme for your talk. A great education for some who would not be familiar with these things and never seen such things up close and more importantly be able to touch! I hope to remember the idea for next time I am asked to speak about lace. Thank you. Great idea! Annette in wet Wollongong, Australia. We need the rain so I am not complaining. -Original Message- From: owner-l...@arachne.com [mailto:owner-l...@arachne.com] On Behalf Of lacel...@frontier.com Alice in Oregon ... getting ready to be the program at Ladies Luncheon next Saturday at church.

Re: [lace] Peeps bobbins
Sorry about not explaining what peeps are in the US. For those of you who do not know about peep marshmallow treats. They originally came out at Easter. They where a marshmallow shaped as a chick covered all over in yellow sugar. Now they are now available all year long come in and come in different shapes and color to corresponding with what holiday is coming up. You either like them or don't. There is a following that has diorama contest with this tasty treat. go to http://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/magazine/peeps From: Sue Babbs suebabbs...@gmail.com To: Donna Fousek ibal...@yahoo.com Cc: lace@arachne.com lace@arachne.com Sent: Monday, April 29, 2013 3:45 PM Subject: Re: [lace] Peeps bobbins And now you need to explain to those of us who aren't American, what the peeps of Easter candy are?

Re: [lace] Peeps bobbins
I did think of the peeps. I've never actually had one. They seem to have a cult following, just like twinkees.
