As depressing as this sounds, I'd be lying if I said that the fourth day of this year's San Diego Comic-Con was a total delight. I've lately gone through crises that I simply can't discuss in a post like this. It didn't help that the crowding in the exhibit hall still made staging photographs difficult. I still promised you that I would offer snapshots of the plush penguin partaking in the convention. Now that I've eaten lunch, I'll try to capture at least one more batch.

Controversial sign in Bispham, Blackpool. Through my GCE "O" Level in English Literaature, I know that Othello was a Moor, and he is probably dead by now.

National Anisette Day

National Anisette Day is celebrated on . But what exactly is anisette? Anisette is a liqueur derived from the humble aniseed spice. Aniseed, from the anis herb, is also what gives that licorice and fennel flavor. In its natural form, anisette tastes dry and bitter. That’s why some distillers sometimes add sugar syrup to make the liquor sweet and palatable. Countries like Spain, Italy, Portugal, and France are the leading countries in drinking anisette. While it is rarely consumed on its own, anisette is a common ingredient in many cocktails.

History of National Anisette Day

The herb of the aniseed is often the main ingredient in anisette and is considered to have medicinal properties. It is also sweeter than other anise-flavored liqueurs, and anisette’s association as a medicinal cure dates back to ancient Egypt. The anisette in Europe is dryer than the anisette available in America. Distillers sometimes add spices like coriander and fruit to distill anisette.

Aniseed is the seed of the anise plant. Like absinthe, anisette is created by distilling aniseed. Legend has it that it was first made as a replacement for absinthe since it has fewer herbs and no wormwood. In fact, some anisette tastes so dry and bitter that some brands add up to 350 grams of sugar for every liter of it! It is mixed with other flavored liquors and is typically not drunk straight. Anisette is sweeter than most other anise-flavored liqueurs and has an alcohol content of about 25%. It can also be used in recipes. Café de Paris is a popular cocktail made with anisette, gin, cream, and egg white. When it is stirred with bourbon and bitters, the drink is known as a New Orleans. Another very popular drink made with anisette and other alcohol is known as a Palomita. However, traditional drinkers simply mix anisette with cold water to enjoy its unique taste. Anisette is known by different names around the world, some of which are ‘raki’ in Turkey, ‘mastika’ in Bulgaria, ‘ouzo’ in Greece, ‘aguardiente’ in Colombia, ‘sambuca’ in Italy, and ‘pastis’ in France.

Souvla, 1805 Larkspur Landing Cir Suite 14, Larkspur, CA 94939

Fro-yo girl here. Souvla opened in Larkspur on the Marin County Mart on November 6, 2023. The menu seems to be the same as the SF locations: The regular menu includes spit fired all-natural meats (Vande Rose Farms pork shoulder, Freebird free range rotisserie chicken, Thomas Farms lamb) served as a pita sandwich or salad, with a sweet potato option for vegetarians. They also have sides, Greek beverages (including their own wine) and Straus Family Creamery organic Greek frozen yogurt with Greek toppings or plain ($5). Toppings include sour cherry syrup, olive oil & sea salt, baklava crumbles & honey syrup, and Cretan wildflower honey.

* Frozen Greek yogurt with Greek sour cherry syrup ($6). There’s one size and one flavor, plain. So good! Creamy but not heavy, tangy even sour, natural tasting, lightly sweetened. The texture feels airier and fluffier, even more so than the yogurt at other Souvla locations. The sour cherry syrup isn’t that sour but it does enhance the tang of the froyo. The portion is generous to satisfy without being meal-sized.

The shopping center had plenty of parking. The Souvla location also had plenty of seating, though most of it was outdoors. There’s a cute pick up window on the side where they gave me my froyo. Lots of people go there just for the froyo. It’s the only froyo option at the Marin County Mart.

You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.
