The Ultimate Christmas Drink

It's been a while since I blogged about food. It's no longer a new experience so I rarely seek it out. I do keep searching for "badoa," which is as near as I can figure is the amazing ice cream sandwich I found last February. For some reason the market stopped selling them and I haven't been able to find them anywhere.




I stopped at Buy The Way this evening, hoping to find some of this goodness, but failed. I did peruse the beverages and picked up two. The "Demi Soda Apple" is one of my personal favorites. It's got a great apple-y flavor and only barely carbonated. They also have orange and lemon versions which aren't bad, but apple is my favorite.

The second beverage caught my eye an I just had to try it. "Pine Bud Drink." If tastes like…well…a pine bud drink. It smells like a pine tree, but more intense. Not like pine cleaner or a pine air freshener (which smell like pine in the way banana flavored Starburst tastes like bananas). This was like taking the needles from a pine tree and rubbing them between your hands, releasing the intense fragrance. The taste is much more mellow. Slightly sweet, non-carbonated. It would make an excellent mixer. Some sort of Maine Martini is just waiting to be born.



In other news, we had rain last weekend. Clouds were very low and moving quickly across the city. I caught a glimpse of Namsan Tower partially obscure an quickly took a photo.
