Day Twenty-Five - Nectar of the Gods

Today is unofficially Battlestar Galactica day in my house as it's new Galactica on my TV tonight! I wanted to do something to celebrate that...but didn't want to work on the tedious paper models that Joseph has had great success with...and I was kinda scrambling for an idea. BSG fans [to the best of my knowledge] don't really have a lot of nerdy fan things that they do...but perhaps I could invent one.

Left to my own devices, I chose something creative and stimulating. I was originally going to attempt to smoke a cigar in honour of Starbuck, but I remember how that went down the last time I attempted to smoke [I did go quite green and threw up]. Instead I made and drank ambrosia. Apparently it is a real drink, although not green like on Battlestar. It has multiple brandies, triple sec, lemons and champagne and is served in a highball glass [I cooked it up in a martini shaker so I wouldn't have to use ice]. I suppose I could have dyed it green with food colouring.

The taste was...not entirely awful...but not great either. Very powerful. I felt like I could taste the sulphites. I drank most of it and left some for the fruit flies. I have had a 40% migraine ever since.
