S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y Night!

I've never tried Absinthe. Heard lots of things, but never had the opportunity to try it firsthand so far.

How is it?

My first experience was with a weaker brand. I love the taste (licorice), but I never got a buzz from that brand (a Czech variety). This German brand (from www.alandia.de) is excellent -- and strong enough that I can feel it even at my slow pace of consumption. It's a high kinda like weed ... mellow ... but more opium-like in a surreal sense.

ETA: This is the one I have:

Ooooh, was talking to a friend about the green fairy. Still want to try. Damn, should have popped into that Absinthe shop in Germany.

I love the stuff. And with my lady now loving it too... well, it ain't cheap. :rolleyes:

Luckily, it does go a long ways...
 
My drinking habits are very modest, rarely drink at all now. Strange. Don't see the need to. Either of us. If I do, it's maybe a glass of wine with friends over supper, or a SoCo and coke with ice at home.

And here, it's rapidly approaching 8am Sunday morning, and already done a pile of chores, with more to follow. My beautiful wife is still dead to the world upstairs, so the house is quiet, peaceful. Just how I like it. The sky is already blindingly blue, the sun up and reflecting in a deep, intense gold off the upstairs windows of the houses across the street. There's not a breath of wind. Perfect day so far.
