we ate our way through the other half of the exhibitors
and returned to the beer garden for more
and had us some absinthe from taboo
i hear it makes the heart grow fonder...

first you pour the shot over a sugar cube

then you flame the sugar cube

then you dissolve the sugar cube with 2 parts water
then you muddle it all and drink it
(you may note this was more than 2 parts water... disappointing for $3 a shot)
hightlights:
nando's giving out 125ml bottles of wild herb peri-peri sauce
natura giving out three packs of soy milk drink boxes
