If you’ve been feeling that Winter is interminable, your work has become Groundhog Day, and an impulse rendezvous to St. Barts would be perfect right about now, then you may be suffering from March Malaise.

And, let’s face it. There are only so many times you can watch Will Ferrell’s cowbell or Sony’s bouncing ball video for a quick lift. True, March is a good month to seek endorphin highs by logging in some pavement miles or taking the 6:15 weekday spin classes all month. For food and drink people anyway, exercise isn’t necessarily the answer. Lucky for us, there are plenty of epicurean cure-alls that can bring a little joy until Spring finally arrives.
