My gift to you this holiday weekend!
In anticipation of possibly needing one this weekend, before or after visiting with your relatives … here is my Perfect Bloody Mary recipe, with special thanks to sister-in-law Katie for her masterpiece special ingredient!
Ingredients
Ice cubes
1-1/4 shot Absolut Vodka (or your brand of choice)
1 11.5-oz can of Guinness
Bloody Mary mix (the spicier, the better)
Pickle juice
2 pickle slices, or 1 mini dill
3 pepperoni slices
Sliced cheese, in small cubes (pepperjack or swiss the best)
4 squirts Tabasco sauce (chipotle the best)
2 shakes each, salt & pepper
Pour 1/4 glass of ice cubes into a pint glass. Now add the 1 1/4 shots of Absolut, then the Guinness, which should bring the glass to half-full. Guinness is the special ingredient, make sure you have it! Now add the bloody mary mix to fill the glass, leaving just enough room at the top for the last few ingredients.
Next add a shot glass of pickle juice, the tabasco sauce, and the salt & pepper. Stir to mix.
Garnish with the pickle slices, pepperonis, and sliced cheese.
You now have the best Bloody Mary ever. Enjoy!
Crowded house
All week, both my aunt & uncle from the UK and my mom are staying with us. That’s a lot of meal and house coordination!
Good thing is that Roy has a lot more people to entertain him …
And Jill & I have a date night scheduled for tomorrow night too, helps to have the built-in babysitters.
What was your last great date night, and how did you make the most of it?
Let’s chat about it, today after 3pm.

On My Mind...
- Less than 9 hours until the Super Bowl kickoff, have you placed your bets on THESE yet? http://t.co/WpO9UD4F #winbig #doubledown
- @RadioMarkB All mine, save one from EBay, are from an antiques store at Belmont & Leavitt. Good Times Antiques, great stuff. 2130ish Blmt
- Jill says this is the last neon I can buy for the basement bar (5 total now). I'm OK with that: http://t.co/Ql8VooE2 #livinthehighlife
