just curious but your posts are not making much sense. not that there's anything wrong with wine with dinner, it's just maybe not so wise to post on MT boards when you are so "relaxed".

Any plans for Mother's Day? Hubby is taking me on a wine & dinner train ride.

wine
I'm not a Transcriptionist yet (still a student, but OLD hehe), my feelings are there's nothing wrong with the occasional glass of wine. I'd drink it, but I haven't found a wine I like enough for a 2nd glass. I occasionally have a bit stiffer drink, but once I start working I won't drink 'my' drinks, since they not only relax me, they send to to sleepy-land. I know several professionals (in other fields) that have a glass of wine when dictating, making notes, preparing briefs, etc. Its not unheard of. My feeling is, as long as the limitations are noted and observed what's the harm? IF it affects your work, time to knock it off.
Hopefully, we're all adults and able to make reasonable judgments on this subject.
(did I sound nice enough? that was my goal!! LOL)
WINE
I agree that we shouldn't judge others. Sometimes I need a drink while working, but unfortunately I would fall asleep with one small glass of wine. I do however know an MT who drinks a lot while working.....I mean a lot...(she has a problem sadly), but the fact remains that even then she is a better MT than most I know. So I guess everybody's different. Wine is good for the nerves and the STESS LEVEL....
Beef in Wine
Brown roast.
In separate pot cook two onions, two cloves garlic, two stalks celery,chopped, two carrots, in butter until soft. Add to meat. Mix 2 cups of tomato puree and 2 cups red wine. Add a tablespoon of salt, 10 whole peppercorns, 2 bay leaves. Cook on top of stove until tender, about 3 to 4 hours. Do the day before. The next day clean up the meat and slice it. Serve over noodles. It is delicious.
Glass of wine
I did not mean to start a war. I know the difference between a glass of wine and a "problem with drinking" as my father was an alcoholic as well as ex-husband. And just to let you know the open bottle that I opened Sunday evening for my glass is still in the wine case/holder with one glass missing. I will probably have to throw it out as I usually have one glass and forget that it is there to finish it. Would not make a good alcoholic as I forget to continue to drink -- just my one beer or one glass of wine every couple of weeks. Also, I usually wait until I am very near completion of my work before I "pop" the cork. But again, did not mean to start a war.
Glass of wine
Patti, unfortunately on this board lately, anything can start a war.
Like you, I sometimes start sipping a glass the last 30-60 mins. of my shift - about once a month. Ignore the hostile postings - some of these people read 2 words, take it out of context, and post in response to things that weren't even said.
Personally, I'm glad you posted because I felt a little guilty about sipping an ounce or 2 while working - I grew up in an alcohol-free home, but I certainly saw what alcoholism did to some of my friends' families.
Add cheeseburgers and wine to the menu! nm

A glass of wine with typing
A while back there were several messages when someone made a halfway joke about drinking and I never answered but I do have to admit that when I sometimes have to work on Sunday nights or some late evenings I do sip on a glass of wine while typing, not an entire bottle but a glass of wine. Just thought I would not comment on it as several people were shocked that anyone would even consider it. Not all the time but occasionally and in moderation.
That is my Sunday comment.
If an MT drinks a whole bottle of wine while...
working, there is NO WAY that can't have any affect. Yikes!  There she.he goes now! 
Opening up Pandora's box of wine
Hey Patti, it's ok to talk about drinking and transcribing. People react strongly because it hits a raw nerve. It's a topic that is kept in the dark. I suspect many transcriptionists do and have drank at the desk. I myself have had a small glass of wine on occasion when I have been so stressed out, like when I have been given a 30-day notice that my work is going to India! Or my foreign-accented dictator yells at me for something stupid! I venture to say that perhaps more transcriptionists have a glass or two of liquor toward the end of their shift than they would care to admit. I just think you got such a response because it is a topic most transcriptionists have thought about in one way or another. I'm not saying it is ok or it is morally wrong. It does happen though.
No bible? No wine? Wait......
I, for one, choose death!
sean connary, chocolate, white wine
that would be perfect.

OMG that is so true. I love their rhubarb wine. I known it sounds
The Amanas rocks.
Chicken In Wine Sauce (Easy and Quick)
Melt about 6 TBLSP butter in skillet. Sprinkle boneless, skinless chicken breasts with garlic salt and any other seasonings that you like, dust in flour and brown in butter for about 5 minutes or so, just till a little brown (to your liking). Put together 1/2 cup white cooking wine, 2 teaspoons roasted chopped garlic (I buy it already chopped), 2 TBLSP lemon juice (I use bottled Real Lemon), and 2 TBLSP dried parsley. Fresh is good too but I just never have it around. Dump this on the chicken in the skillet and put a lid on it and simmer for 6 minutes. Throw a bag of precooked microwave rice in the microwave, plop some on the plate, put the chicken on top and spoon some sauce over it. Very tasty and ready in less than 30 minutes. My kind of dinner !!! If you use more than about 4 pieces of chicken breast increase the butter to 8 TBLSP. I am sure that Parkay (or whatever) would work just as well but I use butter and be done with it. I usually have broccoli or some other green veggie and a salad with it. I use my Breadman a lot so I usually have hot rolls as well.
except I love cooking w/alcohol/wine in sauces!!
.
Onion soup mix, 1/2 cup Madiera wine, carrots, potatoes.
Cook roast slowly (325 for about 3 hours, add the potatoes and carrots, cook another hour, and serve.
Or just slice onions on top the roast, add about 1/2 cup water, put in covered dutch oven, cook same as above, adding potatoes and carrots.
How about grilled fish like salmon? Add a glass of wine and you're all set!

Office lunches come to mind, the whole crew would have a glass of wine
We managed to get through the Friday afternoon following the glass of wine. It's holiday time, birthday time, retirement time. Rare - RARE - occasions. I remember the doctors have a very very slight slur LOL. I probably lost a keystroke or two on my speed. The nurses were happier that usual. The secretaries laughed for a change. It's all good.
My family's not into hard liquor. Beer on one side and wine on the other.
Ugh. I only "like" to drink alcohol maybe once a month.
The blackberry wine made by Amana Colonies is really good, too. sm
I have two bottles now in the frig. It don't take much, either, to anesthetize the pain.

Merlot, white zin, chardonnay, sometimes daily 1 wine glass with din-din. Maybe 2 if I am thirsty
No alcoholic tendencies.
Hope you're gonna have a glass of wine while you're relaxing
in your spa goodies. Congrats!
Dinner
Stouffer's frozen - chicken enchaladas with rice. It is sooo good and tastes homemade!
73 and nothing for dinner!
Everyone is gone! I've had a chicken sandwich and I'm getting my weekend work done so I can have some time off when everyone is home. 
What is everyone else having for dinner?
It is unseasonably cool here this week and I have been thinking about a pot of chili.
We don't go out to dinner at all.
We'll order pizza, grab takeout or go out to lunch maybe three or four times per month.
What's for dinner??
Chili, salad, cornbread.
Out to dinner
On the money I make doing MT, I'm lucky if I can pay all my bills much less go out to eat. I was better off 20 years ago when I actually had enough money left over to be able to do so.
What's for dinner??
Boxed white cheddar mac and cheese, big salad, garlic bread. Not very exciting.
What is for dinner
Is that all you think about is food?

What's for Dinner?
Tonight we are having one of our traditional comfort foods: Pasta and Prego (hey, it's pretty good!), a huge salad, garlic bread and hopefully dessert if I can get hubby to run out and get it.. heh.
I am looking for a good pot roast recipe for the crock pot. I know I can Google one but I remember there are a lot of good cooks on this board. (Haven't been here in a while.) We plan to use the leftover beef for shredded beef tacos the next day.. which my son, home from college for a couple of weeks, has been craving.
Anything will be appreciated! Thanks.
Dinner
We had Pizones from Pizza Hut. Friday is no cooking night at our house.
dinner
Oh man that sounds good! We had PB&J tonight!
Dinner
I know a lot of y'all don't like Wal-Mart, but they had some angus burgers with bacon and cheddar. Just thaw and plop on the ole George Foreman grill, fries and a salad. YUM. Other flavors too, mushroom & swiss is quite tasty, also.
Sorry, going out to dinner, sorry about your
plight and having difficulties on your income.
What's for dinner/supper?
Meatloaf, baked potatoes, salad, rolls, .... still need something easy for dessert. We have tons of strawberries.
What's for dinner tonight?
I'm going to make three types of maki-sushi and wontons because I have salmon, shrimp and tun in there to use up. I just love messing with the little bamboo sushi mat. It's so cute! LOL
I think of it this way - How much would you spend on dinner for you and
your spouse or significant other at a nice restaraunt? That is what your gift should be or a little more depending on if it is a family member. So, if you go to a very nice restaraunt and spend $70 for dinner for the two of you, including drinks, than the gift should be about that as they are providing you with a dinner at the wedding, right?
It may be off base, but that is how I figure it. If it is a family member, I usually will give $100 or more.
dinner tonight
With fresh tomatoes and peppers abounding in this area, I have made some salsa and we are having chicken burritos with fresh salsa and fresh peaches. Not much work and lots of good eating.
What's for dinner tonight?
Leftovers here. I am not cooking. I've got homemade cheeseburger pizza, chipotle grilled chicken, biscuits and sausage gravy, tacos, soup, sandwiches and salad that need to be eaten up.
