While steeling myself against the madness of the Christmas shopping crowds, I self medicated with a Caesar at the Ruby. Across the street sat the Mayfair Mall -- a buzzing hive of consumer hell. I sipped my drink and watched the parking lot ebb and flow as an unending parade of cars pulled up, spat out shoppers and then took them home again, arms trembling under the weight of their purchases. I hate shopping. The Ruby's House Caesar was nice alternative to the crowds. It's thick. Like Walter Caesar Mix thick or plan ole tomato juice thick and there's something friendly, but not daring about the flavour. On the menu it says "vodka, clamato, all the fixings. Add a stick of Red Barn bacon for $1" I don't believe it's Clamato. Maybe they are adding extra tomato juice. I've to to start talking to people about their recipes in the new year... |
I didn't finish my Christmas shopping after all...
