Funny stories

Could we all add a funny low-carb story to this thread? Here's mine:

----------
I won a $40 gift certificate for an Italian restaurant. I was looking at
the salads and dressings, and asking the server about sugar content. She
said "Are you doing Atkins?" I confirmed, and she said, "Oh! I had a
customer last week who was doing Atkins, and he really went over the
menu. He ended up having the Chicken Parmigiana and fettucine. Would you
like to try that?" Well, of course the pasta was out. I asked if the
chicken was breaded and she said yes. I said I'd have the spinach salad
and a glass of water. She was all "but the other guy had the chicken...".

Eep....

Hi Deb,

On Easter I made the Low Carb White Chocolate Cheesecake Recipe
because I was determined to take low carb to our family dinner so I
didn't blow it. We had ham, turkey, lots of high carb sides. I took
cabbage and smoked sausage with onions, and a huge $32.00 salad along
w/the cheesecake. (We call it that because I sent DH to the store just
for salad fixins and he spent $32.00. Ever since then any salad that
has more than 2 kinds of lettuce and lots of extras gets that name!)

Well I made it to the table late (taking care of the kids first.)
there was barely enough cabbage left for 1 serving and a little more
salad than that. Other family mambers had brought a total of 3
desserts and all but 1 1/2 servings of the cheesecake was gone and
almost all of the other desserts were intact.

No one could believe that the cheesecake was sugarfree and low carb.
My sister (who is also named Deb and on low carb) and I laughed at the
success of low carb even in a family where only a couple of us are
doing it and no one else is the least bit interested in it for
themselves. Go figure.


Take care!

After losing 35 lbs, I feel great, but its time to put shorts on up here in
New England. We are behind up here in the suntan department and my coworker
suggested the latest sunless tan products. I beelined to the drugstore and
settled for the L'Oreal brand of product--dark shade, of course ( why bother
with it otherwise.)

I got my evening showed and proceeded with the instructions, only to be
discovered by my husband. That made me hurry, as he laughed at what I was
doing and results were that, yes, it was a great tan...gave me a sexier
stomach, nice legs .but I forgot to do 1/2 of my toes, and forgot to wear
gloves!!! My hands still look like I've been refinishing furniture all
week- time to try some bleach.

Now that I've learned to wear gloves- I'd recommend it for a sunless tan and
to give yourself a lift. I just looked up health warnings, and as long as
you keep it away from your face its ok
