You can always add some protein powder and for extra fiber use flax seed, which also contains healthy omega-3 fatty acids.

here is a smoothie recipe with plenty of fiber:

There is the whole culture to drinking wine and a celebration behind every opened bottle, so pumping wine into empty water or milk containers just takes away the charm.

Although, even just thinking about ice cream gives me chills, I love affogato, so would sacrifice, too!!!

"My Life in France" definitely good choice. Fun and quick read that makes you terribly hungry for french food and home cooking, I can't even tell you in how many bistros I sat with this book. Reading Julia Child while munching on french fare....way to go!

I'm so glad you liked it, if it comes to getting bread mixture smooth...it just might need a little more soaking time or squeezing some more tomato juice over it might help.

I love currants, but they're kind of hard to find.
They taste amazing in compotes, salads and scones(dried).

Well, this is a good, old classic recipe. I'm sure you can find it in many cookbooks :)
