Worried (OT) Hot Bloody Mary
 

I'm going to have a Holter monitor attached at 8:30 AM (Central). I haven't
been sleeping particularly well what with the shoulder and arm pain. So, I
share with you my favourite "mixer" for a Bloody Mary. So sorry if you
don't drink. I need a drink. In a large glass over ice:

2 oz. chilled vodka
4.5 oz. "hot" V-8 Juice (spiced vegetable juice) OR tomato juice with:
dash celery salt
Tabasco sauce to taste
squirt of lime juice
The alternative for me is a commercial mixer called Texas Redeye. Good
stuff :)

Stir it all together. If you want celery stalks, use them for a stir-stick.
Add clam juice if you want to. Drink it up :)

Crash and I will be thinking our very best thoughts for you. If you get
especially nervous, give me a call, and I'll sing commercial jingles into
the phone until you start laughing. :-)

Is a Bloody Mary called something else if it's not hot? A Sissy Damsel,
maybe?

You will kill me with commercial jingles but thanks for asking. I don't
need any "ear worms" :) Love you! I will be okay.

Jill:
NOt sure what a "Holter Monitor" is... presuming it's a heart monitor,
it's nothing to be apprehensive about. I wore one for several days a
couple of years ago. Never did figure out where the chest pains were
coming from, tho...

And you have described one of my favorite variants for the Bloody Mary
(BM in my house). This is a frequent afternoon libation and occasional
breakfast drink around here; required supplement for the bagels and
cream cheese when we visit our good friends in Detroit.

Some Canadian friends mix "Bloody Ceasers"... 2 oz vodka plus about 4,
5 oz of Clamato juice. Not bad, but I prefer the Hot BMs.

Sure hope you get fixed quickly whatever is troubling you. I know we
haven't met, but I think of you as a friend nonetheless. (despite the
mildy troublesome fact that I don't know how to pronounce McQuown)

Scrooge

Around here, it's called a Bloody Shame. Yeah, I know, some folks save
that term for a non-alcoholic version. In my house, that's not an
option.

It's my own personal echocardiogram machine, clipped to my belt. I have
about 8 electrodes glued to my chest. Fun!

Hopefully they will find nothing more than muscle aches :)

Thank you, Scrooge! You too! Oh, and it's much more simple than it
appears. It's like a cat meowing. Muh-Kee-Ow-en. :)

Gives new meaning to the term "wired"! :-)

Then it doesn't rhyme with "McPhone"? Guess I've been mispronouncing it in
my head. :-(

Not yet, Lynne. They disconnected the monitor this morning and I have to
wait for the results. Might be a few more bloody mary's inbetween :)

Look, girlie - get yourself some Swiffers and start cleaning up.

Seriously, I hope that things turn out well.

It's been too long since I've made a Bloody Mary... back when I did, I
used Snappy Tom because there was no such thing as a "hot" V-8... well
there were hot V-8 automobiles, but that's a different conversation.

:)
think I'll get the fixings soon.

You might also consider hot vodka. Absolut Pepar is an infused vodka
that will up the heat considerably. I first ran across it at a Cajun
music festival when I ordered a Cajun Bloody Mary. It included
Absolut Pepar, tomato juice, lemon juice, Tabasco, black pepper,
Worcestershire, and was garnished with a whole raw string bean. Yum!
....whew!

What made it Cajun? The bean? Not too many years ago there was a
thread on make you own pepper vodka, which I did, and it was plenty
hot. Hmmm. Time to do it again! Thanks for the reminder.
