A Note from the Kissing Bandit
01/06/2008
Hi
Dan.
Nice to see that your website is working like a well oiled machine, I remember when you let me preview it and I used my geek skill to give you a couple of pointers; anyway, that is old news. Congratulations on putting out a book, and I have put it on my wish list for Xmas. If Santa can't bring me the Absinthe I desire at least he can bring me useful humor to chase my jonesing tears away. Hey I have two heads-ups for you, I had three but you already know about Danny DeVito's Limoncello & YouTube video.
First, check out Young's Double Chocolate Stout, I'm working my way through the Parish House (Boylston Str, Boston) beer challenge card so I can get a free beer glass with something witty of my own invention etched on it. (The excitement & $900 it will take over the next year is burning a hole in my pocket). The best thing is the buddy that got me started can't drink alcohol; he’s recovering, who said recovering from alcoholism's can't be fun? Anyway the stout is double chocolate because one it is a stout, and the other it has chocolate "flavor" in it. It is a fabulous flavor, not overdone, but just right. I come from a long line of chocoholics and alcoholics this is a wonderful blend for both my inherited traits. It's a flavour from England, not the easiest to find but I'm sure you have an inside track.
The second thing is I was in the bookstore and ran across Tucker Max's book "I hope they serve beer in hell.” Usually I pretend to be above this type of male-pig-asshole-crap but well the old fraternity boy in me has been surfacing lately and it just caught me as amusing. I'm reveling in self assurance right now and really got a kick out of the stories in the book and thought of you. Especially funny is the "Absinthe Donut" story. There it, absinthe, is again the nectar of delirium, which is rare on this side of the pond. I digress but finding absinthe is not so easy, although it has been rumored that there is an absinthe society in Boston, bless their hearts. Liquor with neurotoxin, what could be finer.
Anyway, if you are ever in Boston, I'll meet you for a drink, and tell you 2 absinthe stories, and a whiskey tale which now has earned me the nickname "Kissing Bandit", by my wife no less. Let's just say there are reasons I do not drink whiskey. I'm sure they pale in comparison to your escapades.
Cheers,
