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)
A "real" one or one of those you buy pre-filled in the spice section
of the grocery store? (Not that I'm knocking the latter, as I have
one each of those filled with salt, black pepper, and "peppercorn
medley" sitting on the kitchen table to use instead of the common S&P
shakers. But it would make a much better story if you were hauling
around one of those wooden things that a waiter in a fine restaurant
might bring by your table. Not that I know what it's like to eat in
a fine restaurant, either . . .)
