I ended a little over 12 months of sobriety with a cherry dessert...
I cooked it at the request of one of my kids, who was all excited about the idea of flaming desserts.
I had gone to the liquor store to find one of those single shot bottles of rum, and they didn't have those. So I bought a whole bottle.
Now, mind you, the "voice of alcohol" was in charge here. I knew what would happen when I bought that bottle.
Needless to say, after making the dessert I polished off the rest of the bottle.
I was in the bottle for a few months after that, and got sober again only after a trip to the hospital.
Wasn't my last relapse, but it taught me that I can't cook with alcohol

Gee cambridge....I'm impressed that on Day 2 you could even
consider solid food. I was still throwing up at that point.
Good for you....

LOL Carol (still throwing up at that point - been THERE - never wanna go back!
Cam -
I can relate quite well.
A few years ago, I discovered the hard way I've become allergic to shellfish.
I went through an actual DEPRESSION, because I LOVE lobster, I LOVE crab ...
and every ten years or so -
I start thinking that maybe my body is no longer allergic.
And I almost always wind up in the hospital, getting epinephrin injections
(which, quite truthfully - make you GLAD you've got an allergy)
and a bunch of doctor bills I can't pay.
I've come to completely ignore the whole 'wine in the recipe' thing ...
the dishes taste just as fine without it.
