In pitcher, mix tomato juice or vegetable cocktail, clam juice, vodka, lime juice, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, hot pepper sauce and pepper; divide among prepared glasses. Top with ice cubes.Caesar squared: Top halved baby gem lettuce leaves with Caesar dressing, crushed croutons, chopped cooked bacon, Parmesan cheese and black pepper. (It's a Caesar...topped with a Caesar salad—get it?)
Soup and sandwich: Make a grilled cheese sandwich with smoked Gouda cheese and chopped sun-dried tomatoes; cut into 1-inch (2.5 cm) cubes. Thread onto a skewer with a cherry tomato.
Ploughman's lunch: Thread a quartered radish, a cornichon and a chunk of sharp Cheddar cheese onto a skewer.
Italian bacon slap: Place strips of thick-cut bacon on foil-lined rimmed baking sheet; generously sprinkle with brown sugar. Bake in 400°F (200°C) oven until crisp, about 25 minutes. Let cool completely on rack. Sprinkle with Italian herb seasoning.
