When is somebody gonna designate a Bacon-infused Bourbon Day? Sheesh.
I won't be an Absinthe virgin after tonight! :)
Maybe you should. Just make a YouTube vid about it and you're good to go.
That comment was to Earl, Nettl. LOL!
LMFAO!!!
I have sound out here at work. If that ending was supposed to be "your anthony on absinthe", well.... yeah... that's kinda bogus.
It's the 65% alcohol (not 65 proof, 65 PER CENT) that does it. The thujone just rounds it out a bit.
Propagating the mythology is part of the fun though, don't you think?
Years ago I found a recipe to make my own Absinthe and even grew my own Wormwood.
I must give it a try now that you reminded me.
Thanks.
Now there's a commodity you could sell (under the table, of course), and make a bundle.
i'd still like to try this someday...
Wish you could come over and join us tonight.
Well, I did it. I had two glasses and it was an interesting experience. No hallucinations, nothing really weird, just a nice, easy high. I don't know what it would be like after about 7 or 8 glasses like Bourdain claims to have drank, but I certainly didn't feel driven to madness nor did I see any green fairies.
I noted this celebration in the NYTimes yesterday..was going to copy the proper recipe, may still do! On my list...thanks!
