Am getting an endoscopy tomorrow, to see if they can figure out what's causing my anemia.

No ulcer, fortunately! But no sign of what's causing the anemia.
The doctor wants to do a test that involves swallowing a pill to check the small intestine. The pill contains a camera and a light. It sounds really interesting.

Despite my love of clams, the clamato is not it.

I don't drink alcohol. I enjoyed it very much. I remembered I had bought some Clamato ages ago. It had been sitting there for months unopened. I looked at the best before date and it was Feb. 2026. So imbibing it I have been.

I go through a couple 48 ounce bottles each week.
I have some over ice every night.
I like putting a little SeasonAll in it, too. And, if I have an extra half lime, I'll squeeze it into the bottle.

(Low sodium V8 a healthier choice)

What is Clamato juice actually made of?

“The label on a bottle of Clamato Original typically lists the following ingredients, in order of quantity:

Water
Tomato Concentrate
High Fructose Corn Syrup
Monosodium Glutamate (MSG)
Salt
Citric Acid
Spices
Onion and Garlic Powder
Ascorbic Acid (to maintain color)
Dried Clam Broth
Vinegar
Natural Flavors
Red 40 (artificial color)
The presence of High Fructose Corn Syrup, MSG, and artificial coloring (Red 40) confirms its status as a highly processed beverage. MSG is a flavor enhancer that gives Clamato its savory, umami kick but can be a concern for individuals sensitive to it”

Don’t have a Mott’s bottle here but I’ll check to see if the Canadian version has the same ingredients.

Later on when I'm reading before bed-time, it'll be my customary (habitual, lol) glass of Sauvginon Blanc.

19. Clamato juice is awesome

Regular tomato juice is so bland compared to Clamato.

You can buy it in almost every grocery store in Canada and it’s always I puzzled me why more American don’t ask for a Bloody Caesar instead of a Bloody Mary. A well made Caesar is heavenly to drink.

Recipe: Clamato juice, vodka, dash of Worchestershire, dash of hot sauce and a garnishment such as olives, an asparagus spear, celery or, as I once had, a couple of miniature egg&biscuit sandwiches. (It was a special brunch that day. )
Optional - rim of the glass is dipped in celery salt.
