We used the downtime provided by Irene to plan our new scents for fall--the first will be released just after Labor Day!
To reward ourselves for all of our work, we hoped to go for brunch in the neighborhood but Irene had shut everything down. It was a freakishly rare phenomenon we're not sure we'll see again in our lifetimes: the East Village without brunch.
That didn't stop us having our Sunday Bloody Marys at home. We whizzed a single giant yellow tomato with Worcestershire, prepared horseradish, Tabasco, salt and brine from Rick's Picks awesome Smokra (okra pickled in a spicy smoked paprika brine). We were out of lemons so we opted for a dash of sherry vinegar for a little extra tangy bite.
As we sipped them, we debated whether to call them Bloody Irenes in honor of the hurricane or Sunny Marys because of their rich yellow color. A coin toss gave us the answer, then we toasted to a hurricane well and safely passed.
