Moral panics have to be one of the most fascinating aspects of humanity, where everyone in one point in time suddenly gets worked into a collective anxiety attack that this one thing is responsible for most of society's ills, and a few decades later, everyone calms down and goes "Oh, well, I guess absinthe/comic books/booze/video games/movies/jazz/etc isn't all that bad... whew... but wait... MAYBE THIS OTHER THING IS?"

I laughed so hard when he was painting this picturesque scene of a guy waking up in a serene farmhouse and going downstairs to have a cup of coffee, but instead pours a glass of absinthe because âIf thereâs one thing to remember itâs that he was a violent and raging alcoholicâ đđđ

After my great-aunt passed away we were looking through her glassware and we found a set of four old, strange glasses with a bulb on the bottom. No one else cared about them, but they didn't know what they were. They were original French Absinthe glasses, and we found the "spoon" in a silverware drawer, so I took it as well (my cousin thought it was a small spatula). Apparently there had been a lot more going on in my great aunt's past than her own children knew about. đ€šđ

Well, you know what they say, "Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder." đ I made my own absinthe once, because I had all the ingredients growing in my herb garden. I hate the taste of licorice, so I left the anise out. It came out really good, and packed a hell of a punch! I made enough to have lots of small bottles made up for my friends, with a little tag on the bottle illustrated with the stamp of a green fairy.

I grew a taste for absinthe when I was stationed in Germany and we would actually get it at the local bar we would frequent. When I got out the Army, living in southern Louisiana, I found that a brewery in New Orleans started making absinthe again and started buying locally made absinthe, instead of imported versions from France and Czech Republic. I quit drinking a few years ago, but if I were to have a drink I'm pretty sure it would be a single glass of absinthe.

I'm growing lemon balm right now. It's quite delicious in tea. It sort of reminds me of lemon drop candy but not nearly as sour. It's also supposedly good for anxiety. However, it can supposedly lead to some side effects such as increased appetite.
It is part of the mint family, so if you or anyone else is allergic to mint they should talk to their health care practitioner before using it. And it can take over your garden if you aren't careful. I have them in planters at the moment.
