Sunday Morning and Bloody Mary's

If you get a chance to listen or buy this album from Jaz Coleman do your self a favor and acquire. Doors music with violin overtones and orchestral undertones. I know sounds like it would be awful but you listen to again and again each time more nuance is discovered. To put another way, great Sunday morning brunch music while reading Chicago Sunday Tribune and working crossword.

 

Bloody Mary, recipe*, Sunday paper, snow on the balcony or front porch, bagels and lox (read comfort food), dog laying on my feet, cat laying in the morning sunlight, I could go on but you get the picture.

The Perfect Bloody Mary

Planning, Improvisation, Fabrication, Construction and Ingurgitate

The Perfect Bloody Mary starts with the proper fresh ingredients. The base mix is made in advance and stored in the refrigerator on the top shelf or coldest area, do not freeze.

First you will not need pre-packaged Bloody Mary mix either the powder or the pre made bottled kind. Celery stalk is for stirring and presentation. Cheap "rack" vodka is used only for effect rather than taste. Take time to do this right if not fix mimosas.
