Hostess is celebrating the 75th birthday and asked readers for recipes for those 75 year old twinkies. Twinkie Sushi Twinkie Burrito Pigs in a Twinkie Pumpkin Twinkie Bread Pudding Peanut Butter and Jelly Twinkie Cake I'm more of a snowball person. Now if they would only come out with recipes for those. I suppose given my recent peep experience, I could put a snowball in a microwave and see what happens. A snowball on a stick and roasted a la marshmallow over an open fire? Chopped up with custard and whipped cream for a snowball trifle?

I wasn't expecting a miracle and was pleasantly surprised.
