Serious Eats certainly has some creative writers. This year, to celebrate Easter, they have started what they call "Peeps Week" - interesting culinary and artistic monstrosities made out of peeps. There is Peeps Yoga, a Peeps Bouquet, and then the entry that warms our nerdy gamer heart - The Peeps of Catan. All you need to play our favorite boardgame is about 10 boxes of peeps... and, well, all the cards. It may not be practical, but it's fun to look at. Plus, if you were unhappy that the blank tile you turned over happened to contain ore, you could just eat it. The entry has instructions and more pictures - now we're just thinking about ways to convert this into a birthday cake.
