oy. I'm not personally leaving livejournal, but I see that some of you seem to be, so if you're wondering who "starlightforest" is that's friended you on greatestjournal, that's me.

Yay! I love it when livejournal seems to think I'm not logged in for the purpose of viewing ONE post -- a post that I opened in a new tab from my friends list, where I WAS able to see it! And it's not that the cookie picked this magical moment to expire, because I can also load up other friends-locked stuff right now just fine! Gee, mysteries like this (and the exclamation point) are so FUN!

I now have oak blossom, star thistle, and rhodomel meads from Kevin-Murphy-who-is-not-THE-Kevin-Murphy (although there is a certain very vague resemblance) that [livejournal.com profile] digitalsidhe and [livejournal.com profile] lysana tipped me off to having sold meads at BayCon. He lives reasonably close to me so it was no trouble to pop down and blow $90 on mead (some of which will likely end up in the feywine). Woo! Support your local mazer.

I didn't get to taste any of the ones I actually bought, but the Toyon holly was good. He also sampled me some artisanal gin from Oregon that tastes positively of juniper resin (as opposed to the sharp, almost menthol nose of London dry gins -- I would say "usual London..." but I don't know if this stuff is really London dry style to begin with), which was rather weird, and I'm almost not sure that I liked it, or at least it would take some getting used to; and also some blackberry liqueur that was meh, it was blackberry liqueur, tasty, but nothing special.

I appear to have gotten him a bit intrigued by mentioning an idea of trying to brew a mead-like beverage from birch syrup/sap, like he says he knows some people attempting maple or half maple half honey, so maybe there's a future there. :)
