Many years ago, my husband asked his cousin for his personal recipe for a Bloody Mary because it was the best we had ever tasted. He sent us his recipe on the email and I've been making my version of it ever since.

His had key lime juice, Angostura Bloody Mary seasoning (a liquid like their bitters) and both V-8 juice and Clamato juice in it. I ran out of Clamata awhile back so I've been using V-8 and Sacramento Tomato Juice and they have been really good.

I switch off the hot sauces and try different ones each time. He uses a local one down in FL that we can't get up here without ordering through the internet so I use different favorite ones. I have a whole collection of hot sauces (over 80 bottles at this point) so I try a different one every time.

Hi soozm32,

I saw your recent post about how much you enjoy using All-Clad cookware. As an All-Clad representative, I would love to talk more with you about your experience! Please e-mail me at Tnikolich@marcusa.com.

Thanks! Taryn

Oh my, WHEN are THEY going to come up with that magic pill? Can you imagine this creation with a side of fettucine Alfredo?

OMG, I had the Bacon Hamburger Fatty Melt for lunch and I'm dying.

Well, not really. But, I do feel funny.

It was delicious nonetheless.

Don't know how soon I would do it again.

I would start a real-food revival.

My mouth is actuakky salivation. I would eat this in a heartbeat. I cant wait until I'm hungover.

@chisai- Oh yeah, kielbasa would be fantastic, actually any type of sausage or meat make it great. I just do it the way mom used to make it and she made it just with the veg's, and then have meat on the side and I love it with a ham sandwich for some reason. But this is really a good dish for vegatarians and vegans, for vegans they can add a non dairy type pasta. I am not sure how csipetke is made, but even tofu would work.

Hmm...if I'm still out, we hit "Canyon Pizza" a PSU institution and home of the $1 slice of pizza. It is amazing drunk. But sober? I would never dare.

I usually have oatmeal--how anti climactic. It fills my belly and wards off any threat of a hangover...or at least lessens the effects :)

@megj3- Sorry I was being sarcastic. At 3am even sober I won't eat anything, too many weird dreams for me. But when I did come home in the days loaded I would do what Honeybumper would do and drink a ton of water, that would ward off the next day jitters. The next day though I would go out and get a big breakfast (usually a greasy dive someplace)

Hmmmm - out grew this activity years ago. Before anyone flames me, I'm neither condoning or condemning late nights out. The older I get the less I want to.

But reflecting on many years in the past with a beer in one hand, cab fare in the next my favorite was a stop at Denny's. Just about anything on the menu that was fried caught my attention.

Jack in the Box tacos! Mystery meat goodness.
Or grilled cheese if I had the wherewithall. It would taste good, I wouldn't cook though. Effort involved.
When I was in San Antonio we would always, always end up at Jim's. (It's like Denny's)

Chips with malt vinegar, ketchup, salt, and mustard from the kebab truck parked across the street from our college (which always gave someone food poisoning at some point). That stuff is delicious when you're drunk, and tastes like absolute crap when you're sober.

@cowprintrabbit ~ sounds like you deserved that tip? Did the drunks tip well or stiff on the tip? I know our group overtipped to the point of absurdity, but it was guilt money. LOL
