He hates hipsters more than I do. Dude wears suits and ties and he's the cleanest person I know. I'm not much for accessorizing. I hate clutter. I'm an anti-hoarder. Always looking for stuff to throw out or give away. My counter tops are sparse except for my blender; I like everything sparse and I am ocd organized. (Same for him thank goodness. That was one of his selling points lolz.) Not sure what absinthe accessories you're referring to because the whole sugar cube and igniting it thing is silly and unnecessary for enjoying the drink. It's probably untraditional as well, but I'll have to ask him.

Just got a text from my bf:

"When wormwood was made illegal, absinthe didn't get cloudy, so burning the sugar cube mimicked the cloudiness of wormwood so people would think it's legit. Some people say it tastes stronger. But it burns up all the alcohol which defeats the purpose."
