Absinthe Makes the Heart....

Once Upon a Time....the Cool Kid (photo near end) and my honey bunny met me after work for a lovely dinner at Pizzeria Paradiso. After good eats and a Three Philosophers, I was ready to take the big, digestive walk up the hill to our home. As we approached the infamous Dixie Liquor, we saw a chalkboard announcing that an Absinthe tasting a few days later. Well! My honey bunny is pretty obsessed with absinthe, so to hell with waiting a few days--we stopped in right away! Lo and behold they already had a coupla bottles of Lucid in stock, so we came home with one of them. Mmmm, within no time I was seeing little green fairies and swinging from a trapeze in the Moulin Rouge. OK, not really, but we do love us some Absinthe. Give it a try sometime...but don't mix with prescription meds or heavy machinery.

Pour 4 ounces over a cube of sugar (preferably sugar-in-the-raw, but if you're not as classy as Mr Fancy Pants, then regular sugar cubes will do) into a glass with a cube of ice. Then add equal parts of quality H2O. Then blog about your experiences....




So, here are some pics from Easter (my first in 30+ yrs.). I am so effing lucky to
have the best in-laws EVER.
