To compensate, I have developed a Dionysian hobby -- making what I call "art liqueurs." (Am I bloody spelling liqueurs right?) They take years! Two years of steeping for my orange and coriander cordial, which I call "Casanova's Dream," one year for the apricot, cherry, and mango-infused rum that I call "Goblin Market," and I have just begun a chocolate-infused brandy, now turned pitch black, which I call "The Dark Night of the Soul." I don't even drink them. They sit on my counter and glitter. My husband shrugs.
