Liquid Diet

I figured I would switch things up a bit and drink my dinner tonight. My sister is trying to watch Moulin Rouge though she keeps being interrupted by suitors and other callers. She recently enjoyed a show at the Moulin Rouge in or near Paris, and she thought that she ought to see the film which I had very much enjoyed.

The innuendo of the green fairy was my inspiration. I don't have any absinthe around the house, so I broke out the Chartreuse. (What? You don't keep Chartreuse as part of your home bar? You should. (I'll drink it if no one else does.)) Unfortunately, my Chartreuse was running low, so I have had to cut it with Grey Goose. Ahh, but isn't that vodka's job: to be tasteless, to let the other flavors shine through, and to maintain or augment the kick? Yes and indeed.
