the 50 lb lasagna
Ok, maybe it wasn't quite that big but.....definitely agree you should just tell your friends you can't eat sugar or starch. I wonder if those who aren't lowcarbing know how many foods are, or have, starches in
them.
We were invited to a friend's new place for dinner two weeks ago. I didn't say anything and was sure, like always, there would be something I could eat. I assumed they'd be bbq'ing. She brought out an enormous tray of lasaga, and a big ol' honkin' loaf of garlic bread! Thankfully there was a salad.
Most people just want to please their guests and would be more than happy to adjust the menu, given enough time. My friend wasn't angry, but upset with herself that everyone couldn't enjoy something she prepared.
I love when my lowcarbing friends come over! It means I just have to broil, bake or grill something, toss a salad, crumble some blue cheese and dinner's ready!
