What a nice wine that is.

Yeah -- I know; Wendy's doesn 't serve it!

I have what should be an excellent red zin in my wine rack, from Hope Winery in California... A little club I belong to that sends a few bottles quarterly. You two are welcome to get together and share it. But I get Maggie and Harry for a weekend. Need a small dog fix since Biggins went home to Canada.

The thing that was difficult for me was that I gain a lot of weight when I eat starchy carbs. If I look at a bowl of pasta or a loaf of bread, I put on a few pounds. In the past when I tried to go meatless, I gained weight and my sugar would go sky high.

I think that everyone's metabolism is a bit different and different people do well on different foods.

For me to go vegetarian, I had to stick to lettuce, cucumbers, broccoli and things like that. I tried whole grain everything, quinoa, rice and every other imaginable starch. I always gained weight. I'm sure that this works for many people but it's very difficult for me to live on vegetables alone without any starches.

It sounds as if Atkins would be the perfect lifestyle for you.
I agree ... our bodies are all unique and individual, and require different ways of eating.
There is no one "perfect" lifestyle that is beneficial to us all.

I am mostly vegetarian, not vegan, and only because beef and pork upset my stomach so terribly I just can't eat those things. Same goes for most dairy except I can eat some kinds of cheese. I try to vary my diet and I do like salty foods...

You're on! When?
I'll bring Maggie (she sleeps in bed).
