drink

The wife has been researching drinks for...literary purposes. She found someithing called a Stolen Kiss, which is basically a martini (gin martini, you fool), with absinthe instead of vermouth. Gin plus absinthe (plus sugar syrup and egg white, but that's mostly for effect). The first one went perfectly by dead reckoning - so much of this, so much of that. The second one, well, it needed a bit more gin, then it needed a bit more gin... Now, it still needs a bit more gin, but I've already had to pour it off into a bigger glass, so it's going to stay...unbalanced.

You know what they say: absinthe makes the heart grow fonder.

Exactly what I said. Except gin makes the heart grow dim. (And you should have seen me trying to type this...)
