LU'S BLOODY MARY

Steps:

• Squeeze lemon and lime wedges into a shaker. Add all other ingredients except vodka, and stir. Taste the mix, and adjust the seasoning if needed. Put the mix in the fridge, and let it sit overnight.
• Pour vodka into the shaker. Add ice cubes, and shake.
• Fill an 8-ounce glass about halfway with ice, and strain the shaker contents over it.
• For garnish, I prefer a slice of seedless cucumber, also known as a hothouse or English cucumber, rather than celery. (This isn't a deal breaker, though.) Cut a 1/2-inch-thick slice of cucumber on the bias. Cut a slit in the slice, and place on the rim of the glass. Spear the pitted green olive with a toothpick, and stick it through the rind of the lemon wedge. Place the wedge on the rim of the glass. Crack a little freshly ground pepper on top.

BLOODY MARY BREAD (BREAD MACHINE / ABM)

Steps:

• Add the ingredients to your bread machine according to manufacturer's instructions.
• Do a Light or Medium cycle if you want to bake it in the machine. Oven, do a dough cycle then lay a piece of parchment paper onto a cookie sheet and mold the dough into a big loaf and bake at 375F for 25-30 minutes.
• I heartily recommend this bread to be eaten with celery stalks, a good pepper jelly, and of course, Bloody Marys with plenty of Absolut Peppar! (Or Blue Flames or Dragon's Breath if you're really masochistic.).
