What happens when you drink too much wine.....

Thanksgiving dinner was wonderful. Of course the traditional turkey but for the sides I tried some new ones and some from the cooking light magazine. The one that I really liked was the vegetable strata.

Vegetable-and-Cheese Strata
Buy canned, quartered artichoke hearts because they're less expensive than whole artichoke hearts. Buy presliced mushrooms.
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 cups diced zucchini
2 cups sliced mushrooms
1 cup diced red bell pepper
1 cup diced onion2 garlic cloves, crushed
3/4 cup chopped drained canned artichoke hearts
8 cups (1-inch) cubed Italian bread (about 8 ounces)
Cooking spray
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded reduced-fat extra-sharp cheddar cheese
1/4 cup (1 ounce) grated fresh Parmesan cheese
1 1/2 cups egg substitute
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 (12-ounce) can evaporated skim milk
Oregano sprigs (optional)
Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add zucchini, mushrooms, bell pepper, onion, and garlic, and sauté vegetable mixture 6 minutes or until tender. Remove from heat. Stir in artichokes, and set aside.
Arrange Italian bread cubes in a 13 x 9-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Spoon zucchini mixture evenly over bread cubes, and sprinkle mixture with cheeses.
Combine egg substitute and remaining ingredients (except oregano sprigs) in a large bowl; stir with a whisk. Pour egg mixture over zucchini mixture. Cover mixture with foil; chill up to 1 day.
Preheat oven to 325°. Bake strata, covered, 1 hour or until bubbly. Garnish with oregano sprigs, if desired. Yield: 8 servings

Absolutely wonderful. I have been having the left overs from this for breakfast. Anyway......
So it's Jerry, Scott, Angela, Kyle and I at the table for dinner......there is a ton of food and lots of wine. I think we went through 5 bottles of wine that night. Eat, drink, be merry. After dinner and dishes Angela and I went to our beds - she to hers and me to mine - and went into a wine induced coma. Scott and Jerry on the other hand decided to go up to the airstream and play wii. For those of you that don't know, we live on land in the country. We have an airstream that has been converted into a gaming room on one side and Scott's recording studio on the other. Scott and Angela also live on teh property. So, Jerry and Scott are up there playing the guitar Wii. Scott is taking his turn playing, Jerry is sitting in the chair near the door......it is getting colder and colder outside so Jerry reaches over and closes the door which is open a crack. Once the door is closed Scott stops playing. He asks Jerry "did you just shut the door". "yes, it was getting cold in here". Scott has this look of panic on his face and informs Jerry that we cannot open that door from the inside. We are locked in. They both stare at each other for a couple of seconds....do you have your cell phone on you? no, do you? no. shit. Scott's idea is that they open the back window and yell out the window for Angela or I to come and let them out. Little do they know that Angela and I are in our wine induced coma and would have NEVER heard them. They play with the door for awhile to no avail. They decide to weave their way through the mass of wires and equipment on the recording side of the airstream to the other door.....which was also locked and wouldn't open from the inside. They spent a good 45 minutes up there in a panic on how they were going to get out when Jerry fiddled with the lock long enough to get it open. They were free!!! The next day Jerry went up there and fixed the door so it would open from the inside. It did make for a good story the next day tho.
