So, is Absinthe now what you once knew it to be?

[SilverFish]

I've never been able (or wanted) to separate the drink from its history, the beauty of the ritual, or the nostalgia it evokes for a time before my time.

 

My feelings exactly.

 

A friend got me to try the czech "stuff" a couple of years ago, and thought if that was what it was all about, I wasn't missing anything. I didn't know any better.

 

Then, last Thanksgiving, my brother told me about an article he read about someone (Ted) reverse engineering pre-ban absinthe and thought they had it right. So, I set out to find real absinthe.

 

Last weekend taught me, there are very enjoyable products out there (both CO and HG) and my interest has returned.

 

[Brooks]

It certainly has. I'm your witness!

[plunger]

I'm drinking Doubs and losing my enthusiasm. At least it was free.

[Brooks]

Try making Eye-Openers with it (add to coffee).

[plunger]

Not a coffee person so it will have to be something else. How about cheerios?

[TrainerAZ]

Use it for cooking.

 

Anise and chocolate go well together.

 

I used to use arak when baking chocolate cake or brownies.

[Joe Legate]

I'm looking forward to the Cheerios review.

Chocolate covered cheerios swimming in absinthe!! That's what I'm talking about.

So that's what happened to it.

 

The running joke at ThujoneTest was just what to do with the "Doobs".

I see no reason why Doubs and Cheerios shouldn't be one of the great marriages in gastronony. (And you can always use the dregs to tint your happy little trees.)

[plunger]

My cheerios were burnt.

[greytail]

Wow, knock on wood. If you read my post in the absinthe review sections concerning the Edouard, you can see what I mean as my new Ed. is not the absinthe I once knew it to be. At least it does not look like the absinthe I once saw it to be.

When sloppy it is not but deliberate, mind I do not.

Can I use bad grammar if I promise to talk like Yoda?

[sixela]

As long as what you're doing is Part of a Plan, be my guest.

[elfnmagik]

I can introduce somebody to it, and they love it, it's a wonderful thing.
