Life in the slow lane

THE SLOW MOVEMENT IS EXPANDING ITS INFLUENCE TO NEW HORIZONS
Slow Parties: Meeting for beers and then pounding Red Bull at the local bodega to resist the temptation of returning to bed isn't always worth it. And so it is with open arms and a huge sigh of relief that many are welcoming the slow party movement. Dinner parties are being held with greater frequency, and guests are now being invited over in the afternoon to take part in the meal preparation, thus extending the social gathering into a full-day affair. No longer justquick spaghetti banquets, the new chic dinner party is paying great attention to detail. So whether that means dressing up, cooking three or four courses, or lingering longer with snifters of brandy, the party is prolonged. And with so many anti-energy drinks coming to market , we have a feeling it won't be long before the latest chill pill is found in a cocktail: Drank Martini, anyone?
