Absinthe Before and After.......

So many of my devoted friends have asked me how the absinthe (the topic of yesterday's blog) turned out.
Me Before Drinking Absinthe
Well, Cindy and I decided to try it yesterday before dinner.  She  had a small glass of the stuff; but I decided to really try it.  While Cindy had a petite little flute full, Clint poured a man-sized 60 ounces or so.  I'll show a woman how to drink.

Cindy Prepares to Taste Absinthe For the First Time
I guess I didn't read my own blog about the potency of the wormwood plant and the extremely high alcoholic content of the magical elixir. 
My First Taste of Absinthe

You talk about hallucinating.  You talk about out-of-body experience.  You talk about trips to Mars.
Me After Drinking Absinthe
Of course, I remember little of it.  Woman tells me I recited all of Shakespeare's "Hamlet" and was able to correctly figure square roots in my head and give her the answer within 3 seconds.

Unfortunately, she took a few pics to prove that I had been severely transformed during this episode.

  24. I can tell from the photos you were drinking real absinthe... the color is all wrong, and the louche is far too thin. It was likely Czech stuff CALLED absinthe, La Torment Verte (A very very bad fake French absinthe) or something similar. Not the real thing. Very funny photos though!
