>>>, you can still buy absinthe in England<<< Really? I mean, REALLY? I have always, well, for 23.6753 years, wanted to try Absinthe. It's the last box on the checklist. You know ~ I do more than just camp.
I've even just wanted to see it prepared. That would do. Well, in Sardi's. Or The Moulin. Within slopping distance of cardboard sketchpads.
There's an excellent article, and rhapsodically colorful photograph, in the Scientific American. I drank wormwood flavored wine before I knew it was because I was LaTrec's mistress. I had quite a taste for it when I was fifteen; and the wine.
I thought it was COMPLETELY banned under the Geneva warfare provisions. I am very doubtful. Oh not about you, dear, just the veracity of the article. I suspect it's been Doctored. Seen through colored glasses. Even I, Evel Kneepad, am scared of that stuff. It will turn tissue into truffles.
But fun.
So there.
And in case we haven't noticed, that tends to happen anyway.
I even thot, if I were rich and not an idiot, I would set up my own lab, just to pretend I could make some; in a loft somewhere; and then make some, of course. It's very beautiful. But I would still be too scared to feel good about it. Til I'm 64 or so.
This is very exciting.
Therefore, I don't believe it. |
