Miss Ginger has never been so excited to see anything named George Bush in her life! She landed safely at Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport,
and was thrilled to be headed back home instead of being one of the masses of people in that huge airport trying to make connections and find ways to get elsewhere.
Thank goodness the wait at MSY in New Orleans wasn't too long, because, believe it or not, all the bars and restaurants were closed! Oh, hell, no! Miss G is not gonna sit around an airport and not be able to have herself a bloody mary or 2! I guess for reasons of public safety it made since to close them, but it sure did make Miss G long for a lovely libation! The perfect New Orleans bloody mary has a green olive (for saltiness) and a pickled green bean (for a bit of sour!). Of course, since Miss G didn't get to have one, she had to find this photo on the internet to taunt you!
So, here's Miss G's favorite bloody mary recipe:
1 1/2 oz vodka,
1 t prepared horseradish,
1 t worcestershire sauce,
tobasco (to taste),
4 oz tomato juice or V8.
Tony Cachere's seasoning (or seaoned salt) to rim the glass.
Rim the glass with seasoned salt. Shake remaining ingredients and pour over ice in a tall glass. Garnish excessively. Enjoy!
So, Miss G has awakened from her nap with the kitties, so she's gonna take a shower, then mix one of these suckers up for herself and have a little cocktail! Who's gonna join her?

Glad you made it home safely! Yay!
I didn't know the Houston airport was named after George Bush. And it's called Intercontinental rather than International?! That strikes me as funny!
The airport bars were closed? AAAAGH! That's just wrong.
A Bloody Mary is best if it has a big fat olive in it, and you can mix one up for both me and Ken. Please leave the horseradish out of mine, though--I don't like mine TOO spicy. Yummmm.

Hey Miss G....been missing you. Glad you had fun. sue
You can keep the horseradish in mine :o)
We love the Bloody, and thought the bean was a great addition when we were in NO. Beth has been keeping me posted on your happenings and correspondence (I am the other half of Nutwood Junction :o) I have you on alerts now as well;m thought i did yesterday, but it did not "take".
Our prayers and thoughts are with you and all of the Gulf Coast, especially NO.
Ken.
