I saw that and Lt. Welch was one of the P-40 pilots depicted. He was called George and the name was credited in the cast.
I believe that Welch got several addtional kills later in the war.

I like Ocean Spray Cranapple juice, and it does have some sugar. But I worry more about the sugar that I put in 4-7 cups of tea and coffee most days.
I also eat Ocean Spray Craisins, sort of like raisins, but cranbrries. I eat a small box or two most days.
Low sodium is a big factor when you have high blood pressure. I love tomato juice and V8 but have to stay away because of the high salt content. Even the so-called "low sodium" types have too much salt. But, that said, I still enjoy a bloody mary every so often. Spicy of course with some added hot sauce.
I liked buttermilk as a kid but the stuff available now is not the same.

I love a tall ice cold glass of V8 with a lime garnish, Tabasco sauce and LOTS of black pepper! Yummy![emoji2]

I like V8, my wife thinks I am weird because I don't care for tomato soup which I call warm juice. She thinks tomato juice is cold soup. Keep yourself happy and don't sweat it. For add on's to V8 I like tapatio hot sauce.
7 ounces Original V8 (plastic bottle) plus one Tablespoon Chipotle Tabasco works for me. Add a quarter of a Nathan's Kosher pickle, a stick of celery and a hot Slim Jim. Goes great with breakfast!
I remembered your post and put some spicy v8 and leftover cut up steak with cut up taters and onions in a crock pot for about 2 hours on high and then just threw the steak in after the taters were done.
Really surprised me for a leftover meal.

I am on something else but no warnings about V8 ??
I'm on Xarelto and according to the tv lawyers, I'm already dead.

Tomato juice and buttermilk both make me want to spew, hurl, egest, blow, projectile vomit, erupt, and exfoliate. Detestable stuff, the Devil's own.

I'm doing something different today. I'm making homemade speghetti sauce today. So instead of tomato sauce as a base. I'm using V8. Still using fresh Roma tomatoes, tomato paste. The usual spices oregano, basil, bay leaves etc. it's been simmering about a hour now and smells delicious.
Also Fix'n to make my homemade meat balls. Also using V8 in the mix, I'm using ground beef with Italian ground sausage (about a 70-30 mix), along with finely chopped onions, celery, bread crumbs, a little touch of parmesan cheese, oregano, basil, an egg as a binder and a splash of V8 instead of my normal speghitti sauce. I'll bake them for about 20-30 min turning them half way. And add them to my sauce. Let the combo simmer about an hour, hour and half, till wifey gets home.
If it's good as a soup base. Why not in a batch of my spaghetti?
I'm NOT going to tell wifey or my grandson. And see if they notice anything different or say anything? They LOVE my spaghetti! And I LOVE V8! Should turn out to be GREAT? We'll see?

If my mother gets sick of chicken noodle soup, before the pot is empty, she adds a can of v-8. Makes it a whole new meal.
When we have shrimp with cocktail sauce, I save the sauce, and use it in a bloody Mary the next day. I wouldn't keep it longer than that because of the shrimp being dipped into it.

She doesn't like pinto beans or buttermilk? The poor dear!
At supper time my mother would ask, "Sweet or butter?", meaning "sweet" milk or buttermilk. (Remember when families sat down to eat dinner, which we called supper, together?) we came from East Tennessee and buttermilk was a staple.
I like the spicy version of V8. But Rusty mentioned my tomato-and-sauerkraut "cocktail". It's a 46 ounce bottle of tomato juice (Kroger's house brand is fine) mixed with a can of Frank's sauerkraut juice, and well seasoned with hot sauce. That's one way I'll use a vinegar-based hot sauce like Frank's or Texas Pete.
The mixture may not smell very sweet, but it's mighty tasty, and it will flat slap you awake in the morning.
I just finished a glass of it.

The V8 speghitti sauce and meatballs was a hit. Wifey and grandson said it was delicious. I never told them the new recipe. Oh well, what they don't know can't hurt em!!!

I like the V-8 Peppered and the Hot. I don't like the low sodium. It's just too bland.
I drink buttermilk on the weekends, when I brew STRONG Kenya AA (none of that Folger's or Maxwell House garbage). It prevents stomach upset from the coffee.

According to Wiki, the North Caucasian version is tart, carbonated and alcoholic.
I'm in!

Ha!
It's not how it reads. Since its made with yeast and grains consisting of bacteria it does ferment but not enough to notice unless you leave it for a long time. To make it takes a day or technically over night if you have enough grains. The grains grow with every batch made so the more grains you have the faster it's done. Since the yeast eats sugar and converts it to alcohol there is some. A closed container with yeast, sugar and water will carbonate. However if you leave it sit you will get a good amount of alcohol
It's kinda like making beer in the basic sense.
The Kefir will split from the water (think oil and water) and you bottle the Kefir but the water can also be drank and both contain a lot of good stomach bacteria. The water is also good for marinade

FYI if on blood thinner. I talked to my clinic today. They said either a
green salad or a small bottle of V8 every other day should be alright if
blood tends to run a little thin like mine does. I'm going to try it until
my next check on 8/10.
