Caesar.

As it's Canadian Cuisine week, thought I'd celebrate with our friendly Northern neighbors' version of the Bloody Mary (my preferred one, too.)

For two servings:

- 1 14 oz. can of tomatoes
- 8 oz. clam juice
- lemon juice, hot sauce to taste
- pinches of salt, pepper, smoked paprika
- ice
- choice of garnishes.  Pictured:  skewered pickled vegetables, celery, cucumber.  Carrot sticks are nice, too.

Blend tomatoes with clam juice, and some water, to thin this, if desired.  Put 2-3 ice cubes in each of two highball glasses.  Divide juice mixture.  Add juice, sauce, seasonings to taste.  Stir.  Garnish as desired.
