Well, since it is quite unlikely that I should ever want to be one, I wish them well. But the ascetic life is not for me.

Once a week walk in the countryside and idle chatter??
Heretics.

I watched this and posted about it in the early days of the original TNCR. I loved the documentary. I suspect I could have been happy with an ascetic life, but who knows. I also tried Chartreuse. It made me sick.

Great mind think alike! LOL

Yes, the monks of Grand Chartreuse, famous for the herbal liqueur which suddenly became incredibly hard to acquire and expensiveafter the monks ramped down production citing climate concerns. As a Catholic I disagree with that boneheaded decision.
Among the world’s greatest cocktails is The Last Word: Equal parts gin, chartreuse, Maraschino liqueur, and fresh lime juice, shaken and strained.

You sure do know a lot about cocktails. Are you sure you’re not a Presbyterian?

If I remember correctly the Green Chartreuse is the one with flecks of gold in it. I bought a shot a long time ago, it was expensive.

They had a bonus scene in the documentary about the making of the liquor. The recipe is closely guarded and only a few know the exact combination of herbs and plants, etc that go into making it. Now, I am curious about it. LOL
