I am sitting here in my kitchen while i cook my dinner. Late i know...but i was studying and then wrote my second biology test. For those of you who don't know i am currently taking grade 12 biology as i need as a pre-req for the RN program at UNB Moncton. So needless to say i was late getting started on supper tonight, that and i had a bowl of delicious Kashi Honey sunshine right cereal right after work so i am just getting hungry now. I do have a soft spot for wine and beer despite my efforts at a clean diet i can't seem to give up these delicious drinks. But with my intense workout schedule and my clean eating there is a little wiggle room i suppose. I am enjoying a big glass of red wine while i cook. What is about cooking and drinking wine that go so well together?
