Tomato water Bloody Mary. Unbloody Mary? A White Martyr?
[Drink courtesy of the most excellent Cosgroves of Pasadena.]
A nod to Kierkegaard and Walker Percy: existentialist tomfoolery, political satire, literary homage, word mongering, a year-round summer reading club, Dylanesque music bits, apocalyptic marianism, poetry, fiction, meta-porn, a prisoner work-release program.

What, no recipe?
Well, then tease away, why don’t you?
JOB
As I recall, we pureed 8 pounds of tomatoes along with 2 English cucumbers and some horseradish. Maybe something else, too – ah yes, two celery sticks. Then we let that drain through cheesecloth for four hours or so. Then we took it and shook it with vodka.
how was it?
Was the horseradish fresh or jarred?
Dunno about horseradish. Drink was very fine.
It looks like new wine.
Hey JOB do you make wine?
I do not, but my bro in lo and I are threatening to open a stovetop still. And more graspable still would be a hard cider operation.
My father in law occasionally makes dandelion wine, too.

You know we should make wine? Korrektiv Vineyards
Gosh, I miss that pool. And the little trapezoid of lawn that I secrely call my own – replete with cigarettes, liquor and tolerant women, of course.
Here’s to serendipity!
