Playing with your food

I was on vacation at my sister's in northeast Ohio last week. While there, I always visit the Pat Catan's Center near her home.

While there, besides trying to resist the store's fantastic prices, I was distracted by the number of colors that Marshmallow Peeps now come in.

Then, Wednesday a friend reminded me of the Washington Post's "Peeps show" contest. After seeing some of the creative, amusing presentations of Peeps in various scenarios, I decided to see if the Chicago Tribune had a contest this year.

Turns out, the Tribune is and, the deadline to upload your Peeps creation is Friday. I didn't read through the official rules, so I don't know if you have to live in the Greater Chicago area, but you can see the work of Tribune readers by viewing "Peeps on Parade 2010."
