Red wine...no fair :(

 

Dark Chocolate has the anti-oxidant,  Resveratrol,

contained in Red Wine too.  

There is controversy about Resveratrol

but, I will use the placebo effect 

in red wine or chocolate, either or both.  Happiness is Healthy, innit ?

hmmm

 

just finished Sea Bass stuffed with olives, served with broccoli and accompanied by red wine. Clementines for desert, a handful of walnuts and some dark chocolate to finish.

 

Im going to live FOREVER!

Whats with the red wine???

If I drink more white wine will that help???

I know it cant hurt!!  :D

White wine helps activate the fatty acids in fish.

 

 

 

 

or just tastes really good

 

 

I'm usually too drunk to remember which...

Found this in the archives,  love Bat's addition...ice cream !  I'd forgotten about broccoli...try it roasted with olive oil like cauliflower, it might change your mind.

Well now I love  pistachios and keep them for a healthy low carb snack. Red wine 🍷 I always have red wine. It has many health  benefits in moderation of course. Or not some days lol..
