>> THANK YOU.
>> IT IS GREAT TO HAVE YOU.
WE'RE GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT
DRINKS, FOOD, FIRST PERHAPS
BEVERAGES WHY NAME IT THAT?
WE KNOW THAT ANNABELLE LEE WAS
SO BEAUTIFUL.
IS THAT BECAUSE OF YOUR TRAVE
EARN?
>> I'D LIKE TO SAY THAT.
IT WAS MY FAVORITE POEM GROWING
UP.
IT IS JUST A BEAUTIFUL,
BEAUTIFUL POEM.
>> AND I THINK IT MIGHT INSPIRE
US, TOO.
>> I HOPE SO.
>> WE WILL HAVE YOU WALK US
THROUGH A COUPLE OF THEM.
THEY'RE ALL POE-INSPIRED.
>> THEY ARE.
>> EDGAR ALLEN POE DRINK,
ABSINTH.
THE FIRST ONE IS USING ABSINTH.
THIS IS MARYLAND MAN TIN'S OWN
ABSINTH, 120 PROOF.
>> OH.
THAT IS NOT A JOKE.
>> THAT IS IT.
SO THE WAY POE DRANK IT, HE
WOULD MELT THE SUGAR INTO THE
ABSINTH AND THEN DRINK IT.
THE WAY I AM DOING IT IS WITH
THE SHOT OF ABSINTH AND THEN I
ADD HOT WATER.
>> OKAY.
>> TO IT.
>> LIKE A HOTTED TOY TYPE
THING.
>> KIND OF -- HOTTED TOY TYPE
THING.
THE DARKER IT IS, THE MORE
SWEET IT IS.
ABSINTH IS VERY STRONG AND IF
YOU ADD SUGAR, IT MAKES IT LIKE
RICK RISE -- LICORICE.
THE LONGER IT SITS AND IT WILL
GET DARKER.
>> IT ALMOST LOOKS LIKE A
SCIENCE EXPERIMENT A LITTLE
BIT.
>> IT IS.
IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT SWEET AT
ALL, TAKE IT OUT NOW.
>> IS THIS BRINGING BACK
MEMORIES FROM LONG AGO FOR YOU.
>> OH, YES.
I CAN'T REMEMBER THEM ALL.

VERY POTENT.

BUG.

STORIES.

>> A LONG POUR THERE, I SEE.
>> A LITTLE BIT.
>> IN THE SPIRIT OF WHAT EDGAR
WOULD LIKE, I THINK.
>> AND THIS IS A HOT CIDER.

HEADING INTO THIS SEASON.
STIR THIS UP, JUST MELT THAT
BUTTER AND CINNAMON, SUGAR, AND
TAKE THAT OFF.
>> YOU CAN REALLY SMELL IT.
