Beer Does a Body Good

Did you know that, per pint, Guinness Draught has less calories that milk and orange juice?

A pint of Guinness has 210 calories. While one pint of semi-skimmed milk has 260 calories and one pint of orange juice has 220 calories. Surprising considering how Guinness is usually described as a "heavy" beer. I think I should to go on diet. So, "Let's drink up, me hearties. Yo-ho!"

Wine and Dine 1-2-3

Nick Coletto and his nephew, Joe Coletto, recently co wrote the cookbook Wine and Dine 1-2-3. It contains over 500 recipes and over 2,500 specific wine and beer suggestions. They are, respectively, my uncle in law and cousin in law (if there are such titles). For more info, please check it out at www.wineanddine123.com and tell them Barbara's husband sent you. ;)
