Acting on a tip by local Xiao Zhu, I swung by my local Ikea and found, to my delight, pearl sugar. Very exciting and something else I can cross off my food wishlist. Now I can make some of those Scandinavian delights that were until now unobtainable. While there, I couldn't resist picking up some premade vanilla sugar (I know you can make your own, but this was only about $2 and I don't have to use a whole vanilla bean) which is very fine and has flecks of vanilla bean in it, and some lingonberry drink concentrate (which I already tried out in some club soda-I think drink concentrates are my new favorite things-I might have to go back for some elderflower concentrate) and a jar of lingonberry preserves, because you never know when you might get the yen for lingonberry.

what is pearl sugar?
It is tiny pearl shaped balls of sugar.
Elderflower is vile! I kept being served it when I lived in Wales and it was horrible. I guess it's an acquired taste.
Elderflower is divine! It's light and citrusy and very refreshing!
The King Arthur Flour people also sell pearl sugar, if you ever need more. I wonder if they have edible silver?
