    My new "Hughes" hat!!!

    I received a nice complement on Friday Friday was a beautiful day here, with clear and cool weather. So, to celebrate being finished with holiday chores, I put on my Hughes Fedora by Art, and a nice tan vintage Hollywood jacket, and walked down to my favorite place to have lunch over in "Rice...

    The Miracle of Absinthe

    I seriously doubt any liquor store in the USA is selling any real absinthe openly, since the FDA has not approved it for sale in the USA. You'll likely discover that what you have seen was an absinthe substitute like Absente, (Don't waste your money) Versinthe, (Again don't waste your...

    Geatest designs of WWII

    I'd have to say the P-51 Mustang ranks as one of the greatest designs of W.W.II, and is an actual W.W. II design, as opposed to some of the great classic aircraft that were actually pre-war designs. The P-51 airframe had maneuverability, range, and was adaptable beyond most aircraft designs...

    Unusual question regarding vintage Jack Daniels.

    This is over 60 years old and most definitely drinkable. If properly stored 100+ year old Absinthe is an incredible experience, I've had vintage Pernod fils absinthe that was exquisite. Absinthe can age quite well in a bottle.

    Retro Kitchens

    I have a 1931 Bungalow that had Formica, or Melamine, counter tops that appeared to be original to the kitchen. (They were replaced years ago when my Late Mom owned the house, she went with tile)

    Gary Cooper's fedora

    Coop's list of Female Co-Star "Special Relationships" is quite impressive, going way back to Clara Bow when he did a walk on role in "It".

    The Miracle of Absinthe

    There was also a similar program on the Food Network called "The Thirsty Traveller" that did a good show on absinthe.

    The Miracle of Absinthe

    Aniseed based liquors (Arak, Ouzo, Pastis, Herbsaint, Absinthe, etc.)all will louche, or turn cloudy with water. Basically, the anethol in the anise, either green aniseed, or star anise, is responsible for the louche action when combined with water.

    The Miracle of Absinthe

    Unfortunately Lemercier's Amer has been adulterated post distillation to boost the bitterness and raise the level of thujone. (Which I find to be a silly and needless practice.) It's not a very well made product. I'd recommend the Jade PF 1901 as a much better representation of a classic...

    The Miracle of Absinthe

    I'd never drink Lemercier, it's sink worthy. Thujone doesn't louche, I'm sorry but your information is wrong. http://www.thujone.info/ The Louche, or clouding when water is added, is from the oils in the anise coming out of suspension when water is added. Tests on vintage absinthe have shown...
