I’m planning a fun day week after next with a friend that’s new to the area to take her to all of my favorite greenhouses and garden centers around here. And then I’ll do the same with my Mom. Win/Win! :)

I’ve been STALKING the local Super Walmart Garden Center when I pick up ordered groceries on Fridays. Plants are pretty much the ONLY thing I will still wear a @#$%^&*! mask for to go out and buy. ;)

BLOODY MARY

Got any extra vegetables hanging around? From Garden and Gun Magazine,
fabled N/O's Commander’s Palace makes Bloody Mary mix every couple of days from scratch, blendering celery,
carrots, and fresh tomatoes, plus horseradish to taste, then steep...... two key ingredients: Creole seasoning and Crystal
hot sauce. Get fancy and top w/ sugarcane into skewer swords, garnished with peppers and pickled okra.

RECOMMENDED Creole seasoning by Tony Chachere’s, 1 1/2 oz. Crescent, Magnolia, or Tito’s vodka,
1/2 cup V8 or tomato juice, tsp prepared horseradish, 2 splashes Worc, 4 dashes Crystal hot sauce, 2 dashes Tabasco.

Garnishes: sugarcane stick**, jalapeno pepper, cherry pepper, pickled okra, freshly ground black pepper, and coarse sea salt

Just watched this FB video and thought of you and your greenhouse. Also a very interesting site.
