She was actualy visably disapointed when i explained to her, as i poped
the herb & butter rubbed chicken in the oven to roast, that i was
makeing a joke.

For a brief moment i could not quite understand her apparent, visable
disapointment. To say nothing of her takeing my pomposity seriously.

Then, intuative soul that i am, i offered to open a bottle of wine i had
stashed away and she perked right up.

We later discussed it over roast herbed chicken and baked potates, and i
suggested she was more disapointed in not going to a resturant with a
full bar than she was in being spared my cooking and not eating out at all.

Theres a nice little place we occasionaly dress up for and stroll over
to, and the staff tends to treat her very nicely, have been know to give
her more booze during a meal with out her even asking

Dont get me wrong, when the Dr. told her she had to severly limit her
drinking she complied with alacrity, i was stunned at how easily she
gave up completely, cold turky, a rather routine if not copiously
excessive amount of booze.

So now she rather relishes her coupole of glasses of wine when she gets
them and is disapointed if she dont.

She knows i have a small stash of alcohol, and i still purchase beer for
myself, but she wont ask for booz. If i offer it thats one thing, and
when i kept it all out in plain sight she would help herself, but i
really dont know whether her reluctance to resquest it is self
discipline or old age and forgetfullness.

I strongly suspect the latter rather than the former
