Back to the liquor store

Friday night I try to make another drink. I flip through the book looking for a recipe for which I have all the ingredients. No Dice. Tantalizingly close on some but I'm always missing at least one ingredient - dried pears, limes, star anise pods, Velvet Falernum. I decide to have ice water instead. To be fair, limes showed up in a lot more recipes than Velvet Falernum. At any rate, it appeared that another shopping trip was in order. Two actually - one to a liquor store and another to a grocery store.

Saturday, on an extended break from my safe driving course, I head over to the liquor store. I pick up three kinds of rum (light, dark and golden), two pear liquors, Pimms and golden chartreuse. The Velvet Falernum eludes me. I also pick up a case of wine - because man cannot live on mixed drinks alone. I'm out about $200 bucks for the liquors. I return to the safe driving course with two cases of liquor in my trunk.
