You’d think we didn’t have better things to do
Although we live in a fairly major east coast city, the talk of our extended neighborhood is the new corner store opening up on our block. What makes me giddy is the well stocked shelves of Mr. & Mrs. T’s bloody mary mix. I come from a family of powerful women who consider a good, spicy, full-alcohol bloody mary to be a major breakfast staple, right next to eggs and bacon. As a vegetarian, I can completely get behind this, and whether you’re pouring double shots of gin or vodka in my drink, I’m a happy camper.
Upon trying a bloody mary at my mom’s house for the first time, manfriend informed me that he never wanted to put that stuff in his mouth again. It’s cool, more for me. Oddly, I always imagined bloody mary’s would be five kinds of gross, considering I still believe V8 was invented as an elaborate punishment for children. Though both beverages are red and tomato-based, that’s pretty much where the similarities end.
When I expressed my delight about this corner store stocking my most favorite summer-time beverage mix, manfriend laughed. “Mr. & Mrs. T pity the fool… who drinks bloody marys.”
