And I totally understand what you mean about labeling everything vegan - I think I'm even going to put a disclaimer about that on my blog, so I can say "milkshake" or "hot dogs" and not have to worry about qualifying them as vegan every time OR worrying that people think I'm having non-vegan things!bazuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07020880461667324114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13292807.post-14090827375203778462008-04-04T20:34:00.000-07:002008-04-04T20:34:00.000-07:00I am so behind and haven't stopped by here in fore...I am so behind and haven't stopped by here in forever. The cupcakes look great and I find lots of humor in your take on Easter, probably because it's a lot like mine. The original sin thing bothers me; not just the dying for my sin part but the virgin bith part too. It assumed non virgins are the worst kind of sinners.

I nearly built a LizTaylor's Lips From Giant Shrine over the weekend. And I love your easter tradition stories. I guess I'd rather hear them, than experience them.<BR/><BR/>Hey Hil, yea, that's what I do for other gifts, excitingly, but Easter? Feh, sigh. Thanks for the "vegan" input. You too Pixielyn, and GREAT story about the Goddess/Easter thing. I love that kind of tale. <BR/><BR/>Hi John, vegan chocolate is cocoa, sugar, some cocoa butter, sometimes vanilla, sometimes soy lecithin. Interestingly some of the finest, purest dark chocolate just happens to be vegan.Diz Riverahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04618954577639763316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13292807.post-90416668476191977642008-03-26T11:13:00.000-07:002008-03-26T11:13:00.000-07:00We are not religious at all, but my kids LOVE East...We are not religious at all, but my kids LOVE Easter and the whole hiding the eggs thing.

Celebrating the Goddess of Fertility with your baked goods would be a GREAT celebration. I agree to the confusion of his death absolving our sins for all time, but if I think of it as a symbol than I can deal with the honoring it. About the basket thing tho, where did THAT come from? I do it because my child get IMMENSE pleasure from the holiday, if you all dont than I think that is cool too!~ I always put good gifts like someone else above me mentioned, personal coveted items he really wants. One soft thing, one silly thing, a few favored candy things and then good nice gifts.<BR/>I'm not vegan, but I rejoice at your celebration of your chosen lifestyle, go ahead and shout "Vegan cupcakes", I love that you are so proud!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13292807.post-58485951420974257482008-03-24T18:10:00.000-07:002008-03-24T18:10:00.000-07:00I got through the easter basket thing by getting t...I got through the easter basket thing by getting things that were more personal for the basket. It was more expensive, but better than the same ol' redundant jelly beans. Sandals. A paperback. Cheap sunglasses. <BR/>As for the word vegan, I say USE IT USE IT USE IT! Not only is cupcake stunningly beautiful and delicious its (sing it like a choir of angels...)

James Dean's icon status didn't come from just dying young, I soon learned. That movie is so rich and gorgeous. Love.<BR/><BR/>Easter was dear to me in my own church years. I loved the hymns, like "Up from the Grave He Arose" (I would listen for the old men's bullfroggy voices on "Up.") I loved going to sunrise service and getting a new dress for it--the only time of year I was allowed. But anymore I just feel sort of awkward about it, me being all spiritually apathetic now. I've never understood the whole tons-o-swag thing at Easter.Marigoldiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08652950080530484536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13292807.post-46629682472867369752008-03-24T17:26:00.000-07:002008-03-24T17:26:00.000-07:00Love Giant.
