What about drinking ale with everything? Do you do that? I will admit (sheepishly) to reading Rosamund Pilcher (too old for you, I am sure) but she's always going on and on about drinking Scotch and soda and beer, etc. etc. until I can't stand it anymore and have to have a drink. If you read her stuff you will believe that people are tossing back Scotch at breakfast! (Admittedly, an idea not entirely without merit) oh--and I can't think that your diet is worse than ours in terms of fat/fried food. Did you see the nine dollar Cheesesteak Image of the Day? Philadelphia rivals anyone with claims to fame where greasy, cheesy, fried and yummy food is concerned.
