Oh cruel day of missing City Bakery
Lemon, chili pepper, ginger and even cinnamon… I can accept that I’ve missed the first few days and flavors of City Bakery’s annual hot chocolate festival.
But missing today’s flavor? Banana peel? It’s like gently dying somewhere deep inside.
I once had a sweet chef tell me that he would listen for the banana vendors at market in his country begin to yell, "BANAN, BANAAAAAN". All the people would come running only to find he had nothing but a bunch of onions. What a cruel trick to get everyone's mouth watering for sweet, pudding like bananas. So you are not alone in your cruel day!

Yes, that is true poetry.
I have to agree with you on that one! I don't think I am going to make it for their festival and it's just killing me!!! You are not alone.

Thank you, ladies. It's good to know it's not just me. Though I feel for all of us now...
