My west coast brother informed me that today is "Earmuff Day," Popcorn Day," and "Rhubarb Vodka Day." My first reaction was "What a weird combination." I can see popcorn and earmuffs together if I was at an outside cold weather event like ice skating and wanted some refreshment that might warm me up like popcorn with, maybe, hot chocolate, not vodka! I am not a fan of vodka in any weather, in case you hadn't guessed, but rhubarb vodka sounds particularly disgusting, even though I do like rhubarb (but in pies, not drinks). On the other hand, but somewhat related, theme wise, I just received a text from my son describing his day with his family at a festival called Kristkindlemarkt in Carmel, Indiana during which they sampled "hot mulled wine, hot cherry beer, big soft pretzels and warm candied almonds." Now I don't know about you but that list sounds way, way better to me than rhubarb vodka. It's just a shame I don't have any of the above handy. I guess I'll make do with my usual cup of tea.
