absinthe & co

So, I tasted absinthe.  I have a bottle in my house.  I like it.  I like it enough that I decided to invest a little bit more.  I just bought absinthe glasses (http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B001GA8JUQ?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00).  I thought it was a little bit easier to use.  I guess I have to get used to it.  I don't think it will be too hard.  Just to get my point of reference on the side of the glass.  In the base of that kind of glass, there is a special "bulb" where the measure of absinthe is going.  After that, there goes the water.  I liked the design of the glasses I have chosen.  I already have the spoon.  I just don't think I will buy the fountain. It is a bit too big for my taste.  At least, the various models I had seen.  I also get the impression that absinthe's fountains are a bit of a show off, to attract the attention of people.

I also bought absinthe mints (http://www.amazon.ca/Accoutrements-Absinthe-Mints/dp/B001NZQB7C/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1433616410&sr=8-1&keywords=absinthe+mints) and absinthe candies (http://www.amazon.ca/Accoutrements-11963-Absinthe-Candy/dp/B0033CZGCO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1433616481&sr=8-1&keywords=absinthe+candy).  I liked those even better than the absinthe itself.  If I had to choose, I would say that the absinthe mints are the best of the two.

I know there is recipies involving alcohol. I search for recipies with absinthe.  No luck.  Only recipies of cocktails.  Is it because nobody thought of putting absinthe in food?  Would be a good idea.  I am not really good with recipies, so, I am ill placed in creating new recipies.  Meanwhile, I may search recipies with star anise.
