One of my co-workers is opening a bakery/coffee shop.  She took me on a guided tour of the space this afternoon.  They are about 70% done with the renovations.  It is going to be gorgeous! She also gave me a sample of her homemade maple lemonade.  She brought 100 lbs of lemons home from her trip to Scottsdale, AZ.  She squeezed them and reduced the juice to a potent lemon syrup.  She puts the syrup, seltzer water and maple syrup into a cocktail shaker, shakes it all up and pours out a delicious lemonade.  The maple syrup gives it a mellow sweetness that is so unique tasting.  It would be hard to identify the hint of maple if you don't know it is an ingredient.  I can wait until the bakery is open for business.  She is hoping it will be ready in February.
I no longer long for the old view!
