Vacation & The Chubby Pants

It's 80 degrees on Trade & Tryon streets in Charlotte, NC. A warm, almost tropical breeze dances across my skin as I sit with a glass of Burgundy, looking into the eyes of my romantic dinner companion. And I'm wondering about how many calories I'm pumping into my body. Although the dinner of choice is fish flown in fresh from all over the world, it is sauteed in butter, coated in bread crumbs, laden with salt and God knows what...not to mention the side dishes, salad and THE WINE. Did you know that your average glass of Red packs up to 180 calories per serving? How did Betty Ford stay so slim, rest her soul?
