Oh god that is such a good combo!
Better put the crock pot on first.....
I hate that argument. Drink red wine anyway. I have two glasses a night. 6 oz apiece. I am healthy as a horse. Sometimes I might sneak the whole bottle. Only on weekends.
I drink red wine to offset all the bad things I eat, drink and smoke. Its works too. Didn’t know about the chocolate thingy - maybe those Aztecs knew something. Kind of hard to die of a heart attack as an Aztec though.
Buy her some chocolates and drink your wine. By the time she's finished with the chocolates you'll be too drunk to care what she says.
Mrs. Genoa insists that red grape juice is just as efficacious as red wine. Any advice?
From an anti-ocidant point of view she is correct, however, the medicinal benefits of thinning your blood with alcohol is a winner of a prophylatic. Thick blood equals greater chance of heart attack or stroke. So, drink up, thin your blood, and keep your groove on.
Remember, re: chocolate. It’s DARK chocolate that’s good for you (in moderation). MILK chocolate is crap.
Made peanut butter cookies with chunks of semi sweet chocolate last night..yum. I like white wine better than red...does that count????????
It's good for what ails ya.
I like white wine better than red...does that count????????
No. White wine is made from grapes without the skin. No benefit of antioxidants resident in the skins.
I’ll be conducting related “research” this weekend....
You’re in! :) It’s not too frequent; every week or so. Ping me if you see something chocolate-related that I miss.
Oh fudge...I’ll just have to eat more chocolate.
I hope you are right. I don’t drink(I was overserved in my youth) alcohol anymore...so: other than the sugar, I think grape juice does the same thing: also, pomegranate juice.
Darn, me too. The things we must endure to be healthy (sigh)...
But I guess everybody got through as I see comments on it.
Surely nobody would comment on something they hadn't actually read./sarc
The link just worked for me. Here’s the URL: http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20100211/hl_afp/usitfoodcancerted_20100211172535;_ylt=Ak8LsT.LBuFoHUVNFdrfMKqs0NUE;_ylu=X3oDMTFkM2U4bHU4BHBvcwMxNDkEc2VjA2FjY29yZGlvbl9oZWFsdGgEc2xrA3JlZHdpbmVhbmRkYQ—
Could you give us a working link?
I'll try it on a different browser and see if that's the problem.
