Nothing comes close to piping hot lemonade when you're standing on a train platform and the only thing whistling down the tracks is a bitter wind. Maybe the hot maple syrup drink is even tastier, but we won't know until someone works up the nerve to try it. The fact that a single vending machine offers both hot and cold drinks still amazes me.
The Year of the Rabbit has been delightfully flavorful so far. Here are a few of my favorite discoveries.

The seasonal crop of Strawberries and Cream mushroom-shaped cookies are back on the shelves alongside chocolate bamboo shoots with strawberry-flavored icing.
The Ancient Mariner and I inhaled six of these delectable strawberry cream puffs in as many days last week. None of them sat on the counter long enough to be photographed so you'll have to settle for the poster that's propped in Beard Papa's window.
Tully's coffee shops are almost as rampant as Starbucks here. The description on the bag of Dutchman's blend - "deep, spicy, complex" - made me think of my own little Katje and Hans.
