The really funny one was someone wandering around before noon

bloody mary mix, and not finding it anywhere.
"bloody mary mix"? You mean tomato juice? ;)
Yep. Or you can actually buy stuff labeled "Bloody Mary Mix" that
has a little bit more added to the tomato juice. (Not sure what,
but it's on the aisle with the mixers and costs more than the
straight tomato juice you get on the aisle with vegetable juices.)
I know, I was just being me. Avoid being ripped off by using tomato
juice, a dash of worcestershire sauce (Lea & Perrins is best), a drop
of Tabasco, and a little freshly ground black pepper. And plenty of
vodka. ;)
I can't handle the Worcestershire, myself (and I know that Lea & Perrins
is the best brand to buy for the consumption of those who can, including
my husband and my mother-in-law), but I could have given him pepper
(brought a little grinder) and Tabasco (brought it for my eggs).
No tomato juice, though. And diluting ketchup probably wouldn't quite
cut it. (Maybe I should have offered that, though. He would at least
have appreciated my offering what I had.)
