    The Miracle of Absinthe

    Much better than Perruche are the ones from St. Louis Sucre, check hardcore coffee and tea sellers. Or your local upscale, nose in the air, organic/yuppie market, in the bulk ingredient section. I bought a case of the flat rectangular, St. Louis Sucre tablets, that have lasted for years...

    The Miracle of Absinthe

    It's very unlikely you'll find much in the way of absinthe spoons, or absinthe glasses, unless the antique shop has imported them from France. Even in New Orleans where absinthe was popular back in the day, very few original American absinthe artifacts have surfaced, and the one NOLA antique...

    The Miracle of Absinthe

    Absinthe as made to day uses grand wormwood just like the pre-ban era, absinthe properly distilled, in the USA is just as authentic as France and Switzerland. The thujone thing has been discussed ad nauseum, look here: http://www.thujone.info/ Not knowing what you drank......most likely, you...

    Scrambled Eggs and Ketchup

    Sorry, the only way to stop me from putting Ketchup on my chili-cheese dogs...and also scrambled eggs, is to pry the Ketchup bottle from my cold dead fingers. ;)

    Legendre Herbsaint Original has no sugar in it, Herbsaint is not the same as a traditional Pastis.

    The Miracle of Absinthe

    In part...absinthe is an anise based spirit, but in the case of absinthes that are compounded from commercial oils, those brands bear little resemblance in taste to what a decent absinthe is like. Thujone is pretty meaningless, the only people trying to push false high numbers are the frauds...

    The Miracle of Absinthe

    St. George has a strange herb bill, personally I don't care for it. I'd try something more traditional, especially for people new to absinthe.

    Edison C-150 Phonograph player

    I would have the diamond stylus checked before playing, I bought a Diamond Disc machine that was neglected, and needed a new diamond stylus. I'd also check to see if the spring motor was stiff, and everything was properly lubed as well. Like Scotrace said, only play the Diamond Disc Records...
