Food for thought! I think you guys make a point. Maybe she never gave the alcohol a thought, but a piece of me things it was intentional...she drank freely with OF, while her Episcopal priest husband discussed the merits of Martin Luther with me!!!
I've been looking up alcohol burn off. In the dish I had 35percent of alcohol was still there. I too wonder about resturants and kids.
I made a vow before God that I would never drink alcohol again, I don't believe this broke the vow but , has opened my eyes to how my palette can be tempted.
Found a good recipes for using fruit jc and vanilla in place of sherry, may try!
