I'm not sure what the association is either but I live in MN and my indoor-in-the-winter miniature citrus trees bloom and fruit in the winter. It makes me a very happy camper when it's -a million for weeks on end : )

I actually don't know! I would assume either juicing or from some health food store.
Honestly, I am going to stop at the gin and cucumber syrup. That's enough fancy for me.

I'ma try this tonight.

Can I just dump a bunch of gin and Cel-Ray soda and garnish with a cucumber? I am lazy, but this sounds delicious.

Have you ever gone to an ice cream place when it's snowing outside and accompanied your two scoops with an iced coffee? I know people in MA who do this.

Iced coffee with some vanilla, creamer, and a little sugar. That is my regular drink of choice at any coffee shop. Even last Wednesday, when it was -10 as I ordered it.

If you don't like pavlova, then it's from New Zealand. Same with Russell Crowe and Crowded House. If you like them, they're totally Australian.

Here's what a fucking fool I am: for a long time I was convinced iced coffee had way more caffeine than hot. Finally I realized (DUR) that a DD hot medium is 16 ounces and an iced medium is 557 ounces. Another reason that DD rules and Starbucks can go fuck itself.

Hah, fellow New Englander here and yep...it was -8 when I got up this morning and I still ordered an iced. Didn't even get a pause from the DD girl though she was wearing gloves in the drive thru.

as someone w a flat white ass this is super rude

i ordered a large iced coffee when it was literally (actually literally, not 'saur literally) 0 degrees out. i had an unfinished coffee in my car from a few days prior and even after 25 minutes of driving, the old coffee was still fully frozen.

"Microfoam" = WAT.

Meh, keep your Stiltons. My customers want X-14. (If you get this joke, I love you. Seriously, that book is prescient about things that should not be possible. Global Standard Deity will be a thing next, just wait and see.)

Krokogiano. It's pretty crazy shit.

Honest to goodness allergic reactions can result in blisters, whole body over, inflammation, swelling, the works. Suuuuuper hyperallergenic responses, to a variety of allergens, can go full blown Stevens-Johnson where your skin starts to fall off.

OMG, corn. It is everywhere. If you have a mild allergy to corn, you are basically sick all the damn time. It is awful.

I am also legit allergic to gluten. It gives me horrible fat rolls.
