Oh! Speaking of anise liquors as we were. A few
years back, a Lebanese friend of mine introduced
me to Arok(sp?). The original and ancient Arab-
anise flavored liquor. Straight from the old country
and housed in a Galliano bottle. Homemade from
a relative. He claimed Syrian anise was used as they
grow the best in the region. Darn that stuff was
smooth!
We spent a very pleasant May afternoon chowing
on grilled Shish-kabob, listening to baseball and
getting schnockered on 107 proof licorice flavored
firewater....JJ61
P.S. By the end of the afternoon, we were throwing
old pairs of sneekers up onto the telephone wires.
