Bloody Mary

I'm not sure if I should be flattered or offended that a friend knows me well enough to know that he can always ask me for a drink recipe and I'll have one.

What does that say?

I am going to go with it says I am awesome and leave it at that.

Here, the recipe I gave him yesterday.  This makes a pitcher, so if you're not sharing you'll be on the floor for the rest of the day.  Maybe that's how you like your Sundays.  I don't judge.

You can buy a ready-made mix, but I like the texture of these better.

From my favorite Louisiana-style restaurant.

Blood Mary
- 1 16 oz. can whole, peeled and seeded tomatoes, undrained
- 1 12 oz. can V8
- 1 1/2 cups vodka (I said you were supposed to share this)
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- Tabasco - as much or little as you want
- salt and pepper to taste
- horseradish if you like more heat

Throw it all in a blender for a few seconds, garnish with salt and pepper and a stalk of celery.  If you're feeling extra fancy, add a skewer with bacon and olives.
