Antonio Aguilar sings Cuatro Milpas,
while you take me places as I drink Champurrado.
12:00 noon and I am ready to take my pick
from the shelves of Mariachi,
Mystified,
to choose from more than three lovers ~
the tantalizing Turkish Raki
the gorgeous Greek Ouzo
the shimmering Sambuca
or the aromatic Arabian Arak…
My appetite needs you and only you...
Perhaps some Peruvian Picarones
will gratify my insatiable desires.
Popping Humbugs,
I wonder if I made the right choice
between them, the Pizzelles,
the Kiwi wheels,
imagining the pleasure as they’d roll on my tongue,
or the feel of the balls of Britain.
Walking past the houses,
the sweet aroma of the Pfeffernusse permeates,
makes me feel I am close to Christmas…
Author notes
All the confectionery and the drinks, as well as dessert are made of Aniseed.

Hey Charishma, how have you been? Oh yeah there is this and much more Aniseed can do, besides you know that it is served as a digestive in all of our Indian restaurants.
Thanks for visiting, and yeah, it feels like Christmas already!

No booze in Dubai??? the moment you land here, you will see every available variety at the Dubai Duty Free. There's lots and lots' of booze although of course it is not available in stores and supermarkets, but most of the hotels that have licences to serve alcohol do. thanks, I hope this made your mind go wierd! 
lol!
Love and light,
