ginkgo made meringue cookies with mini chocolate chips for family brunch today. Her drink-the-holy-water-Catholic sister said "Oh! You made Resurrection Cookies!" We were both like "Whaaaaa?" "Yeah! You bite into them, and they're all just air inside and empty, like Jesus' tomb!"
We pointed out to her that these were actually filled with chocolate chips. "Chips... oh! Chips of rock, like the rock that was rolled away!"
We just made scared noises and moved away slowly.
When we got back, Ginkgo found a recipe on the web for honest to fucking god Resurrection Cookies, complete with scripture passages to read while making them, and all sorts of parable bits to tell kids while making them. My favorite part was placing pecans in a bag and having the kids crush them, to demonstrate how Jesus was beaten by the bad bad men after being arrested.
