For the fennel syrup: Lightly grind the fennel seeds using a mortar and pestle. Grind them just enough to release the oils. Do not turn the seeds into a fine powder. Combine lightly ground seeds, sugar, and water in a saucepan over a medium-high heat. Allow the mixture to come to a boil. Cook for 5 minutes until it slightly thickens. Remove mixture from heat, and allow it to infuse for 1 hour Strain the syrup, and let it cool before using in a cocktail.
I'm gonna try this one over the weekend... "Bold Greek" Fill a stemless wine glass with ice. Add the fennel syrup, ouzo and coffee flavoured liqueur and stir. Top with chilled brewed coffee and garnish with an orange slice.
I'm the same with takeaways, but I do buy stuff online, my last purchase was a cocktail set, was much small than I was expecting (I've heard that said before ) but it was only a tenner and does the job.. I'm partial to an espresso martini these days..

One of my sons comes up and stays with me and always insists on a dilveroo, he's a gym guy too, and I find the grub is always terrible, costs a fortune, the stuff just doesn't travel so good..
Modern life is grand, except it's making people lazier, for example shopping online, no need to deal with the unwashed, a good thing at times I guess.. People are becoming more recluse, and that was before the dreaded "Lurgy" of the past 2 years..
Hey Tiger.. Yes you are 100% on that, it's like one step forward and three steps backwards, another report published here today identifying collusion between the R.U.C.(Police force) and loyalist murder gangs, no surprise to most in my community.
The D.U.P. have had 3 leaders in the past year and are a bit miffed that Sinn Fein look set to become the largest party after the next election, and with that they should hold the post of First Minister, something the unionists aren't so happy with, tribal politics and sabre rattling is the norm in the occupied 6..
Thanks Ozzie, a cheap pair but very stylish.. I've have had many teachers, some aggressive and some not so, I guess took from both, but I always preferred butter to margarine or maybe a slap of mayo.. I never fell in love with any though
RE: The disadvantages about modern life ..
So no use telling them about my sensitive side then?
