with 5 girlfriends for my birthday- yeah ha, no husbands and kids. We have pooled our money for food and drink, but what should we buy from the supermarket? . We think we will eat all lunches & dinners out and have already earmarked a case of vino and bottles of vodka! . We are on holiday for a week.

Make sure you do not buy anything resembling fresh salads or fruit though - stick to carbs and alcohol and you will be fine :) Have a great trip... :)

Carbs needed to soak up alcohol uli

I dont eat bread, nor do my friends much, - unless its fresh bread so crackers and tons of nibblys- cheeses, antipasto ingrediants, crackers and fresh fruit and. . , vino!

Oh oh crackers - will not soak up all the wine ... maybe include some pies?
vintagekitty,
Jul 22, 9:51am
sorry, dont eat pies either, unless I bake them, which wont be happening on the road,
but, yep will bake a pie to take
