Tuesday Afternoon, Bloody Marys?
Why not, right? 
As you know, Jen came over to see the new place and hang out, but before I knew it, we were making Bloody Mary’s in the kitchen! I was not planning to drink this afternoon, but I had some RIPE Bloody Mary mix in the fridge that the company sent me last week, so I figured that I might as well give it a try!
The RIPE Bloody Mary mix was really good! Jen and I both approved! 
It had a bold, sort of zesty flavor, and it was a bit thicker than most Bloody Mary mixes. Even as the ice in my drink melted, the mix stayed nice and thick. A little Frank’s hot sauce added the spiciness that I enjoy so much.
Basically, Jen and I concocted the most perfect Bloody Marys ever! 
Snack
After drinking my Bloody Mary, I broke out a bag of Uncle Jerry’s pretzels to snack on. I ate at least 4 or 5 of them.
Dinner
Mal and I are going to Body Pump in a little while, so we kept dinner on the light side tonight. Lifting weights with a full stomach is just not a good time!
For dinner, we had Dr. Praegger’s veggie burgers + salsa.
And, on the side, the most delicious roasted broccoli EVER.
Off to find something sweet before Body Pump!
Enjoy the night, bloggies!

Bloody Marys always remind me of the plane, because my dad always gets them when we travel! Dr. Praeger’s are some of the best veggie burgers out there, IMO. Enjoy Body Pump!

I did roasted broccoli the other day for the first time with coconut oil! So delicious. The house stunk like crazy, but I did not care! I am glad you enjoyed your dinner and visit!

Man, coconut oil is so great for roasting veggies. Adds the most delicious hint of sweetness. I LOVE those Dr. Praegers curry burgers. They’re incredible in a mixed green salad with hummus and hot sauce.
Enjoy Body Pump!

Have a good workout. I know what you mean about a full stomach when working out, blah.
on Mar 9th, 2010 at 6:50 pm
I love bloody mary’s!
on Mar 9th, 2010 at 6:54 pm
I cannot work out after dinner…I just feel too tired and full. Great job on having the motivation to go to Body Pump, maybe you can throw some my way!
on Mar 9th, 2010 at 6:55 pm
hope the workout is awesome! roasted broccoli might be my favorite side. EVER. i just love the way the roast-y flavor gets stuck in the top!
on Mar 9th, 2010 at 6:57 pm
Roasted broccoli never disappoints! I like mine with ketchup
on Mar 9th, 2010 at 6:58 pm
Dr. P’s CA Veggie Burgers are my favorite!!! I could eat a box a week! Have you tried the Tex Mex flavor?
on Mar 9th, 2010 at 7:00 pm
Seriously. I could never go do body pump after drinking a bloody mary earlier. although, i guess just one…I could prob do it but I would convince myself not to. I dont know where you get the will power.
on Mar 9th, 2010 at 7:07 pm
The broccoli looks so good! Kind of like kale chips
Good luck at Body Pump!
on Mar 9th, 2010 at 7:10 pm
have a great time at Body Pump!
on Mar 9th, 2010 at 7:13 pm
That veggie burger looks really good!
on Mar 9th, 2010 at 7:19 pm
I adore Dr. Praegers!!! The bomb!
on Mar 9th, 2010 at 7:21 pm
Something about drinking in the afternoon makes it seem so much more luxurious
haha
on Mar 9th, 2010 at 7:21 pm
Oh yum! Bloody Mary’s on a sunny afternoon are SO WONDERFUL! Next time you should try adding Pickapeppa sauce (http://www.pickapeppa.com/) to your mix. It’s amazing, and brings a Bloody Mary to a whole other level! Enjoy Body Pump.
on Mar 9th, 2010 at 7:21 pm
I can’t take Bloody Mary’s. The smell alone makes me want to gag. It’s the whole tomato juice thing. Ironically, every time I fly the person next to me gets tomato juice. It’s like a conspiracy.

random question, but is healthworks a women’s only gym? If so, how is Mal able to join you for body pump?
on Mar 9th, 2010 at 7:24 pm
Mmmmm roasted broccoli and Dr. Praeggers! That’s my kind of dinner
Have fun at body pump!!
on Mar 9th, 2010 at 7:26 pm
bloody mary’s sounds perfect on a tuesday afternoon! Love roasted broccoli, maybe that’ll be a part of dinner!
on Mar 9th, 2010 at 7:29 pm
Nothing like working out a little tipsy!
on Mar 9th, 2010 at 7:39 pm
Lol…I work from home sometimes, but my afternoons never include bloody mary’s
I’ll have to give that a try!
on Mar 9th, 2010 at 7:44 pm
I know what you mean about working out on a full stomach. I need at least 2-3 hours to digest!
I haven’t had Dr. P in forever!
on Mar 9th, 2010 at 7:44 pm
That’s my kinda Tuesday afternoon!
on Mar 9th, 2010 at 7:46 pm
oh i love dr. praegers!
hey any day is a good day for a bloody mary…….
on Mar 9th, 2010 at 7:51 pm
I don’t think I’ve ever had a Bloody Mary before!
on Mar 9th, 2010 at 7:59 pm
Mmmm Bloody Mary’s…a woman after my own heart! Although I will say, it isn’t a bloody mary without a big old green olive thrown in there…I hope y’all indulged in a few!
on Mar 9th, 2010 at 8:00 pm
I LOVE bloody marys! Sounds like a good afternoon to me!
on Mar 9th, 2010 at 8:03 pm
I love unexpected afternoons like that! They are so good for the soul, no?
on Mar 9th, 2010 at 8:03 pm
I made roasted broccoli tonight too, it brings out all of the flavors and it’s so easy!
on Mar 9th, 2010 at 8:20 pm
My dad makes the best bloody marys ever!!! I’ll have to check out that mix for sure!! Bloody Marys are good for you….veggies!!
on Mar 9th, 2010 at 8:27 pm
Roasted Broccoli, that does sound good! I can’t decide what I’m hungry for tonight! Grilled cheese??
on Mar 9th, 2010 at 8:34 pm
I prefer a Caesar to a Bloody Mary, myself.
on Mar 9th, 2010 at 8:56 pm
I have never actually tried a bloody mary – but my mum loves them
on Mar 9th, 2010 at 8:59 pm
I love bloody mary’s but it seems like the only time I ever drink one is on vacation…hum…might need to change that!
on Mar 9th, 2010 at 9:07 pm
Must be a broccoli day, as I posted about roasted broccoli as well!
on Mar 9th, 2010 at 9:07 pm
I love broccoli! I buy a huge 5 pound frozen bag and use it all the time
on Mar 9th, 2010 at 9:22 pm
Yum! It has been wayyyy too long since I’ve had a bloody mary!
on Mar 9th, 2010 at 9:45 pm
Dr. Praegger’s veggie burgers look so yummy!! I have never seem them before… not sure we have them in MT. But they sure look great with salsa AND a bloody mary! mmm, mmm, mmm!
on Mar 9th, 2010 at 10:14 pm
haha did you have the bloody mary with vodka or virgin? i love those things but they wipe me out if i have them mid-day.
on Mar 9th, 2010 at 10:28 pm
I love that you guys go to Body Pump together!
on Mar 10th, 2010 at 1:19 am
Bloody Mary Tuesday! I love it!
on Mar 10th, 2010 at 2:36 am
I’ve never had a Bloody Mary, but I used to love tomato juice as a kid and I love spicy foods now, so I’m sure it’d be up my alley! I’ll have to find a pub for mine, though, seeing as no one’s sending me free samples
on Mar 10th, 2010 at 8:50 am
I’m not a big Bloody Mary fan, but my hubby loves them. That mix looks interesting though, may have to look for that.
on Mar 10th, 2010 at 9:47 am
Haha, wow, you made it to body pump after bloody marys in the afternoon? That’s impressive.
