love that wine

i love wine. yes, i do. dry, red wine especially. i love pasta, any kind of pasta with almost any kind of sauce. tonight i'm going to have linguini with clam sauce and a green salad for dinner, but first i'm going to have a nice, generous glass of red wine.

how much wine is too much?? not that i have to worry. since this weight watchers thing i've hardly had any wine, but if anyone out there is wondering about this, i found a chart on sensible drinking that shows the worldwide recommendations on alcohol consumption. it indicates the standards of safe drinking recommended by a number of countries, how many drinks a day each country finds to be sensible and safe.

i'm not passing judgment here, but let's just say that some of us may want to consider moving to France or Italy. um hum! they're jelling out over there. Italy's standard allows a little less wine per day than France, but i give them some slack because they also have pasta, and know how to cook it better than any other country in the world, and the men know how to appreciate women of all sizes. you have to love a country like that.

ok, i'm off to get my wine and put the water on to boil for the linguini.
