Thread of What You've Eaten, Cooked and/or Drunk Lately

Since this thread is also about drink, I'm curious about @ORD_Buckeye 's Absinthe bender. I've always wanted to try it. I've seen it in a liqueur store or two. Is there a particular brand that I should try (or avoid)? What makes it different than any other decent quality booze?

Absinthe is made with wormwood oil, which was deemed to be a hallucinogenic back in the day. I don't think that's true. They do say that it pretty much fueled the French Impressionist period in art though.

If you've ever had Pernod, you've had Absinthe without the wormwood oil. It has an herbal/anise taste and is usually over 100 proof. True absinthe became legal again about ten years ago. Pernod makes a bottling from their original recipe. Make sure it's says ABSINTHE on the label and isn't just the regular Pernod. My favorite is Kubler which is swiss and is traditionally white instead of green. Stay away from any that are made by US craft distillers and stick with either the French or Swiss stuff. It's not terribly cheap: 50 to 80 clams for a bottle.

Proper way to drink it is diluted with water and sugar.

about to get started on a jambalaya.

using shrimp, crabmeat (just finished peeling the leftovers from the crab boil last night), and green-onion sausage (also leftover from the boil last night).

just haven't decided what i'm drinking while cooking this evening.

I had one of these. Any day after the Blue Jackets score 2 or more goals you can get a pizza at 1/2 price by ordering online and using the promotion code JACKETS50. I got a Hawaiian Pizza. It was sort of a barbecue chicken pizza with pineapple. It was pretty good; however, I still like Donatos Hawaiian pizza better. And no, I don't think Peyton made mine.....:lol:
