Nice dinner at home tonight with clams and mussels steamed in chicken stock, dry vermouth, absinthe and herbs, homemade sourdough flatbread, bit of salad with homegrown tomatoes, guacamole and fresh local Viognier.

I was making my own very good quality absinthe for about ten years. We have quite a bit in reserve. I adapted a classic poster from the 19th century for my label....
I am sure you have heard of steaming mussels with Pernod, or sautéing escargot with it. Absinthe is the original Pernod of course. It's a delicious combination, and most of the alcohol steams off in the cooking (a little splash is enough for good flavor, in any case.)

What abv does your booze come out at?

It rather was. I need a meat board with drainage slots though - the juice went everywhere!

The wooden platter reminded me of plank steak as we call it here. Or fatányéros in original Hungarian (had to look up)

Was a 90's staple in steak houses here.
The 90s rocked!

Chillis from my local market. Delicious, and so cheap!
