Morgan, that's some signature!!
Yeah, I like it. A friend makes them for me.
Yeah, I've never heard of anyone else gaining 7 frickin' pounds from a damn piece of wedding cake either.
Here's the dilemma:
1. The plane tickets alone are costing us some ungodly some (we live on the West Coast).
So do I. Looks like we're both from the Seattle area!
The dinner's probably gonna run $500. So it's a VERY special occasion -- definitely not the kind of thing we would do every month, or even every year.
Under those circumstances, I'd enjoy my dinner and exercise like a fool for the next several weeks! Pasta is definitely my favorite food!
2. I don't eat meat, so there's going to be very little OTHER than pasta I can eat at this Italian restaurant.
Are you a vegetarian? I've always wondered how people who did not eat meat could do LC. Just curious what's left for you to eat. Seems I live on meat and eggs....and now I've added fruit and veggies. Maybe that's why I'm stalled; the fruit and veggies, I mean.
3. I know that I am not going to live the rest of my life without eating a single plate of pasta ever again. Someday, somewhere, I WILL eat a plate of pasta. I just like it too much to forego it forever.
AMEN!! Couldn't agree more! Linguine is my middle name! Or is it Fettucine? No, it's Penne! Well, you get my drift!
So, taking all those factors together, it seems like it makes sense to ensure that when I do eventually eat pasta, that plate of pasta is AMAZING. And, as far as I can tell from all the food critics, this restaurant is amazing. (We made reservations a month in advance, and the only table they had left was for 11:15 p.m.)
I'm jealous! Have a plate of pasta for me....and don't forget the garlic bread!
But then again . . . . seven pounds is a lot of weight. Atkins says one carb binge can set you back a week -- seven pounds would set me back like, two months.
