Mmmm....vodka!
Jinx, you are too funny. I know what you mean, I've let countless pounds of vegetables rot without a qualm, but waste one precious drop of alcohal? I think not!
Eating dinner without a glass of wine is probably the single hardest part of Atkins for me. I married into an Italian family, and dinner without wine is considered uncivilized. And let's not even go into not eating pasta or bread. Plus my in-laws, who are the most charming people in the world, still entertain like it's the sixties. When we go out of town with them, the first thing my father-in-law does is set up a little bar, so MIL and I can have our martinis before we go out. You can imagine what dinner at their house is like, we're all snoring in our plates by coffee.
Lest you think I'm pure, however, when we went out for our anniversary last week, dude, I went for both the cocktail and a glass of wine, and I didn't even try to make it LC! Appropriately enough, it was called a Twist and Fall, and it was good!
