    Awww I found my friends again! Busy summer......things are good though.

    No booze so far this week (m-today) but I have friends coming in town tonight so I'm sure I'll be drinking straight thru till Sunday. Almost a little "over" it, anyone else get that way?

    Like, I'd rather just consume a glass or two every night or every other night than save it all up for the weekend and deal with the consequenses?? Just thinking out loud here......

    *tackles Cat*

    I missed you!

    So, I don't think I was "just" hung over...i got sent home from work with a 101* temp. So, I watched 5 episodes of Eureka that I had on the dvr. Oh, and I had soup.

    Monday=2
    Tuesday=1
    Wednesday=5
    Thursday=0


    Tomorrow we're headed to the Phish show, Saturday is a work picnic with our neighbor and Monday i

    I poured an awesome Chenin Blanc tonight! California version of a wonderful white. Nice and sour and acidic. It was fantastic. I'm finishing the whole bottle! MMmmmmm....

    With 3 mahi mahi tacos with onions, roasted jalapeno, tomato, cabbage, fresco ranchero, and fresh serrano. Mahi mahi was seasoned with cumino, Paul Prudhomme seafood seasoning, and pepper. It was divine. I gotta post a picture it was so good.

    Solpwr it looks great! I love to cook ( I make a mean seafood chile relleno) but for the month of september I am going to keep it really simple (no thinking or creativity involved) I love good wine and when you describe yours I am soooo jealous. Thanks for sharing.:happy:

    Sounds like an active weekend though and that burns calories.
    PS - Holly went to the fair last weekend. It was her first "real" state fair. She had a blast and ate some really horrific things like deep fried Reeses but she was really proud that she and her beau only got one of all the crap and shared so they could enjoy the tastes without going crazy.

    I'm home on this forum! Seriously, I know that a glass of red wine is good for you, but when it comes to 3 to 4 glasses -- that's another story. I think I'm going back to my vodka with a splash of pineapple juice. Not that it's healthier, just fewer calories--I think. Dang, I've already got tickets to a wine festival this month! No refunds--so I gotta drink the wine. At least I know I'm in good company in this forum. Salud!

    Robin, I looked into the sweet tea vodka and I was concerned about the calories. How do they make it so sweet? So, the guy at the liquor store said to stay away from it. The one I was looking at was the J. Weed. I didn't have enough time to research it all tho. So, I just did the cranberry vodka. Soooo good

    It's an awesome state fair. I think it's rated #2 in the country. There is so much food that you have to share otherwise you can't try everything. Tell her next year, the grilled pork chops at the entrance are the best thing at the fair. It has to be at the entrance not the ragin cagin ones. THE BOMB!!

    Soccerdot -- Tuaca is some evil s*^t! I used to be a bartender at a Moose Lodge (times were bad!) and all the yokels came out and drank Tuaca and sang kareoke. That was a hoot!
    It is pretty good on the rocks and sipped, but I don't think I can ever stomach a shot of it again!

    Well, I am on glass of wine #2 for the night, and had 3 Sam Adams light with dinner. Luckily I can usually refrain on Sat. nights! Ah, some days we just go over a tiny bit. My *kitten* isn't going to get huge overnight and 3 beers -- that isn't how it happened the first time ;)
    Happy long weekend, lushes!

    Oh well... totally fell off of a couple of wagons tonight. Had three drinks... ate pizza... had cookies for dessert. Over by at least 1,000 calories. I hate when that happens! Always alcohol related! Oh well there's always tomorrow:-)

    My competition starts on Wednesday, I might as well live it up. Going kayaking today and I am not bringing any liquor with me. If I do, it will be a a marathon day and I really don't need one of those.

    I had two diet maggies last night. I rode my bike 40 miles though, so I still was under on net calories.

    I believe red wine and Italian food is on my dinner menu tonight. A night out.

    I really am a wine geek. Here's photos of my cellar, the wine bottle painted on the wall of my living room, and the cork screw I built as an art project hanging from my ceiling. When I do stuff, I tend to go all the way.
