"The weather is finally turning spring-like here in New York City. The cherry blossoms in Central Park are in full bloom; it&amp;#039;s warm enough to wear shoes with no socks again; and the Mr. Softee truck is back. Mr. Softee is NY&amp;#039;s version of the Good Humor man, and other such ice cream trucks that I spent my childhood at. There&amp;#039;s just nothing that says &amp;quot;Spring is here!&amp;quot; like stopping by Mr. Softee! My preference is soft vanilla with rainbow sprinkles. Mmm. I associate so many food-related things with each season. In Spring it&amp;#039;s the ice cream truck; in Summer it&amp;#039;s the lemon frozen ices sold at the pizzerias; in Fall it&amp;#039;s apple cider donuts from the farmer&amp;#039;s market; in Winter it&amp;#039;s fresh-baked ginger cookies at the local coffee stand. No matter what diet I&amp;#039;m on, I don&amp;#039;t think I could ever be so strict as to say no to those seasonal foods. To me, those are some of the happiest moments in life that I wouldn&amp;#039;t give up for the world. Besides, it&amp;#039;s not like I&amp;#039;ll be eating ice cream every day in the Spring, or apple-cider donuts every day in the Fall.  But this might be one of the reasons I never seem capable of staying on one diet for a long period of time. Because before I know it, the season changes and I&amp;#039;ll want to eat something GOOD! :) Ah well. Guess sometimes there&amp;#039;s just more to life than a diet.
