The book and movie of TKAM ripped me apart. I had never read the book growing up nor seen the movie, but when I moved to Alabama 10 years ago, I made a point of doing both, just to understand the Deep South a bit more. My first year here, I drove four hours to Monroeville, the hometown of Harper Lee, and hung out in the cafe across the street from the courthouse (yes, THAT courthouse) in hopes of running into her. Failing that, I went over to the drugstore, where the ancient pharmacist told me stories about Lee and Truman Capote hanging out in downtown Monroeville when they were little. It was awesome. #deaths

RIP Ms. Wilcox. Her performance in that movie was so good that I almost felt sorry for her character despite her false accusation against the Tom Robinson character. My mother and I both love that beautiful, classic movie. #deaths

@dcetstyle: I think that was the point. You were supposed to feel sorry for Mayella. It was a sad situation. Abused sexually and mentally by her father, she reached out to someone who saw her as something other than trash. No matter who had accused Tom, the ending would have been the same. #deaths

Aw how sad. She was in "Number Twelve Looks Just Like You" which is one of my Top 10 favorite Twilight Zones. #deaths

Oh, she was so convincing as Mayella! I think I might have to watch To Kill a Mockingbird tonight. Rest in peace, Collin. #deaths

@curiousgeorgiana: I say the word chifforobe as often as possible purely because of this movie and her pronunciation. Amazing. #deaths

@curiousgeorgiana: ok, but what IS a chifferobe?? I assume it's some kind of old-timey or southern thing that I just don't know about (or I call it something different). #deaths

wonderful.

I am having a brain stall at the moment, but he does all the great silo food shots in Vogue, right? If so, I am going to miss those. They were always my favorite part of the magazine, even though I never read the articles attached.

I JUST polished off a can of Welch's Apple Cranberry juice no more than 15 seconds ago!

Thanks, Sylvia!

Whenever I tell people I've had a Clamato Bloody Mary (a Bloody Caesar), and liked it, people will ask what Clamato is. Normally the response to "tomato and clam juice...I know, shut up," after "ewww," is how anyone on earth ever came up with that combination. Now I can never ask her.

Clamato was a big success for Ms. Schur, but not everything she made was golden. A variant of Clamato called Clamidia, was not so successful.

A Bloody Mary made with Clamato is called a Caesar or Bloody Caesar. According to the ever correct Wikipedia, it is also known as the Canadian National Cocktail. So, there's that.

@Spaceman Bill Leah: I just found out a couple of years ago that Caesar's are a Canadian thing and our neighbours to the south have Bloody Mary's. It blew my mind. I hate them both, mind you. Alcohol and clams? no thank you.

Cran-apple is amazing though.

Who amongst us has tried Clamato? I simply have not been able to do it.

@keldo: As also stated below, it makes an excellent Bloody Mary. Also makes excellent vodka and oyster shooters.

RIP, Ms. Schur.

Clamato is divisive, but I fall firmly on the "pro" side as I can make a mighty fine bloody mary with the stuff. Thank you, Ms. Schur, for your important contribution to my cocktail repertoire. I'll try a chelada this weekend and toast in your honor.

@tailfeather: I have been obsessed with Clamato since I was a child. My local supermarket stocked it and it seemed like the most glamorous thing ever in Ireland in the 80s.

I'm going to have to try one of these clam-charged Bloody Marys you speak of and fulfil a lifetime obsession!
