Last Episode/ Review: Bloody Local by Pint Cove

Word of the Day:”North”

“The muskie is the centerpiece of what the Moccasin Bar advertises as a “wildlife museum.” This encompasses several additional dead big fish and a number of absurdly complex stuffed animal dioramas. One, “Seven Come ‘Leven,” has chipmunks wearing little hats that are drinking, singing, gambling, and fishing — but mostly drinking (One patron pointed out that the cop in the diorama is actually a weasel.).”  -Roadside America

Word of the Day:”Dill”

Company We Review : The Real Dill

Company Story: 

Pickle Company  “…As time progressed, our small product lineup grew, leading us to the happy accident that is now our famed Bloody Mary Mix. Our pickling process results in a delicious and refreshing cucumber-infused water, so instead of dumping it down the drain we built a Bloody Mary mix recipe highlighting it as the star ingredient. What we didn’t know is that people would eventually recognize us for our Bloody Mary Mix more than our pickles, causing us to joke that we’re no longer just a pickle company, but a Bloody Mary company with a pickle problem!”

Entertainment: Freedy does a song

Ernest Hemingway broke down the essential elements of the bloody Mary.  The way he mixed the drink reflected the way he lived- LARGE! rather than get overly creative with ingredients like pickle juice, tiger sauce, port wine, or whatever the flavor of the month is, Hemingway kept it simple.  Like his writing style, the Ernest Hemingway bloody Mary recipe is lean and athletic.

Ernest Hemingway, in my view,  personified the spirit of this website. By prescribing no amount less than a pitcher, he made a statement.

Hemingway Bloody Mary RecipeRecipe:To a large pitcher (anything smaller is “worthless”) add:1 chunk of ice (the biggest that will fit)...

Company We Review : Pleasoning BLoody Mary Seasoning

Company Story: Pleasoning Gourmet Seasoning is proud to be a family owned and operated business, located in La Crosse, Wisconsin since 1952.

Pleasoning Bloody Mary Mix Review

“Maestro Francesco Italiano (Frank) has created the PLEASONING® blend for you! Through the combination of his musical expertise and chemistry background he created taste sensations (his Italian mother’s use of herbs and spices helped) that you will never want to be without. Frank developed his seasonings to have less sodium than table salt. Your taste buds will lead you to believe they have more salt than they actually do!  Aided by his fine sense of gourmet flavor, he treated his herbs and spices as he would treat the musicians in an orchestra, hushing them up to bring other melodies out, allowing harmonies to thrill the senses and bringing out the musical sounds (or gourmet flavors) the composers wanted.”

Onto the ingredients: Ingredients: SALT, SPICES, GROUND GRAINS (wheat, corn, rice, barley or sesame), ONION, GARLIC, MSG, NATURAL FLAVORING, SUGAR, RICE CONCENTRATE (for free flow).

*Our Bloody Mary Mix Pleasoning® only has 210 mg sodium per 1/4 teaspoon. (4 x 210mg= 840mg{2300 RDA

*ZIng Zang has 810mg per 3 ounces  Three ounces?  That’s not a serving 16 0z serving- 4320mg
