2 red bell peppers
2 small sweet onions
1 large jalapeno
1 head of garlic
6 large roma tomatoes
1 jar Gator Pickles Okra
1 tbs worcestershire sauce
2 tbs Magic Swamp Dust
1 tsp Smokin Fryin Rub or dry Seafood Boil
plain tomato juice
Vodka
Guinness beer
bacon

Preheat the oven to 350. Halve (or quarter) the peppers and remove the seeds. Quarter the onion, removing the root and peel. Slice the top off the head of garlic. Slice the tops off the tomatoes and cut them in half. Put everything on a baking sheet and spray lightly with cooking spray. Sprinkle with Magic Swamp Dust. On a separate baking pan, add several strips of bacon, sprinkle them with Magic Swamp Dust. Bake until the bacon is done and the skin on the veggies has split, about 20 minutes.
Remove the skin from the peppers and tomatoes, add them to a blender. Remove 2 or 3 cloves from the head of garlic, throw them in the blender. Add the onions, juice from the okra jar, worcestershire sauce, and seasonings. Cover everything with tomato juice, leaving some room in the blender to, you know, blend. Put the top on the blender and blend untl smooth. No, really blend it until smooth. Don't get impatient and underblend or you'll be chewing your Bloody Mary.
In a cocktail shaker, add a shot of vodka, a splash of Guinness, and about 6 ounces of liquified mix. Shake it up. Rim a glass with Magic Swamp Dust, add ice. Garnish with bacon and a pickled okra.
