I look to see how deep the wine list is too. We will be picky about lining up the wine we choose to the food we order.

It’s all an orchestrated dance we do. And we will likely never repeat the same inn twice. It’s a goal to see the world one special inn at a time.

Now, take my husband’s brother.

He has vacationed for decades in the same place. The family goes to the beach and he goes golfing. They don’t care a lot about what they eat. My husband’s brother is the one who cannot understand why at breakfast my husband might be inquiring about dinner. It makes no sense to a guy who only eats because he has to fuel his body. And his favorite dinner is pizza. Oh yeah, and he drinks beer; any beer. Cheap beer will do. That’s my husband’s brother.

Does that make one lifestyle better than the other? No it does not.

Does that make the brothers dislike each other? No. And I love my sister-in-law too. We are just very different couples.

They might not understand our proclivity toward fabulous inns for our vacations but to each his own.

These brothers came out of the same womb for sure. But will you catch those guys at the same location for vacation? Probably never.

I married a foodie. And thank goodness since I’m a food writer! Our anniversary is this month. Twenty-nine years will be celebrated soon. And you can bet it will be at a fabulous restaurant, with an amazing menu, and an award-winning wine list.

For today’s recipe I am offering up my latest low carb dessert. It’s not totally devoid of calories, for sure, and it’s not truly LOW carb but if you saw how much sugar was in my inspiration recipe you’d be totally blown away.
