Lemondrop

It's an easy time of year to be miserable -- the weather's gross, the streets are littered with empty chocolate boxes, and the last thread of romantic hope you were clinging to has suddenly gone slack. Hooray, mid-February!

Fortunately, a drugstore in Estonia is selling an ancient remedy for broken hearts, so all you Lemondroppers in Tallinn can now shake a bad case of the romantic uglies. If, for some weird reason, you aren't in Estonia right now, we have good news for you, too: The main ingredient in the top-secret recipe is ... CANDY!

For 588 years the Raeapteek pharmacy in Tallinn has been selling people jazzed-up marzipan to cure their lonely hearts. OHMYGOD, marzipan! Only the most delicious thing ever -- and now with healing powers.

Although commercially bought marzipan won't include the secret ingredients that make up 28 percent of the ancient remedy, it certainly will account for the other 72. Need a suggestion on incorporating marzipan into everyday life (not that there could be any wrong way)? How about a delicious Princess Cake? If all else fails, there's always what we like to call Old Reliable -- Ritter Sport With Marzipan. As if you needed a good excuse to put away candy bars.
